Chris, like most of my trick (but old) parts it came with the old race car when I bought it. I origionaly bought the car to part out to finish my racer.

I pulled off all the real special pieces for use on the chassis I built. When I got divorced and traded my big garage for a bachalor apartment the (my) race chassis went down the road (for an unbelieveably small sum). The guy that bought it was going to put a big block chevy in it (it was built real strong!).

The car in my galleries was going to be sold to buy a race transporter (to haul my chassis). Now I've decided to put the trick stuff back on (glad I didn't sell the good stuff now) and keep the old race car as a dual purpose street/vintage racer.

How is your new car coming along? I know the engine has been fired up, but have you given it any shake down runs yet?

Yah.. selling parts is always dodgey. You know that you'll need it again or someone would have givin you some huge $ if you still had it.

I just sold some tripple Dellorto's on ebay for $500US Broke even. I think I'll keep my E31 I was trying to sell. Your car's looking really sharp like usual. I should have been a machinist.

I just have to finish the brake assembly then I'll take the car to an old airport.

Fabricating and installing the Wilwood pedal assembly mounting bracket is a bloody pain. Just because it's hard to get to.

These finishing details never seem to end.

Cheers,

Chris

Your running dual masters with balance bar? Don't forget rear porportioning valve.

I've got an old one that is adjustable with two hands, but I'm trying to find an old Tilton lever (click, click, click, and two more clicks) style. Dont want to have to remember how many turns gives what result.
