I have been putting parts together for this for a long time. I started with oil lines (hard gt lines) , oil tank side oil lines, now onto cooler and lines up to it.. Next will be t stat area.
I want to share what progress along the way as folks ask me often if I have a kit and well "working on it" Here is a really nice oil cooler I plan to use in the kit. Notice the angle of the inlets and how they are divided.. |

Martin, Is your dog ear reinforcing strut fixed in place or removable? Its welded in. I have it both my race cars. Roger Hamlin of Hamlin Fabrication recommended the brace, to prevent "toe out" during braking. He told me the car twist around back there it will actually change the suspension geometry enough to cause un- commanded direction changes! He has a shop at Sears Point, and is a good guy to know. Roger was a fabricator on the 1979 Red Roof Inn 935 Team. When he recommended it, little hard to say no. He's been involved with many makes/models and is a wealth of knowledge. One of those guys who doesn't need to advertise. It has a doubler on the forward inner longitudinal, where its welded and dove tailed/welded to the dog ear. Very simple. MB Attached image(s) |
