Eric,
They only sell as a kit but the price is so good that it dosent seem to feel that bad buying parts that you really do not need. I tried brembo suppliers and bugged so many people including you to find a source for the scrapers and o rings and nobody could help.

I would buy your flares to fix up my 930 flares. But I'm saving for my engine rebuild. BTW, My car has 8 flares. The 930 sheet metal does not cover the wheel well. I have 2 flares at each corner grafted together.

Mike,
We knew that the 930 flares on the front were going to need to have an extension made up but the rear flares with the factory metal bumper extensions work. My car did have complete sc flares on the rear and 73 front flares already installed and we cut them off because the tires stuck out with the new suspension.

No rear bumper extensions on mine. Just double flares. I need to sand blast mine and fix some seams. The PO lap welded them to eachother and then to the fender. In his defence, it was a SCCA race car. There is evidence that the right side was replaced due to track damage at one time.

My 5 year old is quite the car nut, he made me stop in at the local dealer so he could decide what car he would save up for.

I just emptied out our storage unit and did not find the windshield that I though I had. Now it looks like I need one. If anyone local has one in good condition please let me know.
Thanks,
Chris

No real progress lately but did solve a couple of issues.
I purchased a new windshield for $220. Seemed to be the best deal I could find.
Also when we ran the car on jack stands and put it in gear we found out that the left rear wheel was bent. I looked everywhere and could not find a new barrel or complete rim so I started looking for someone to staighten it. I did finally find someone to fix the wheel and his service was fast and reasonable so I wanted to let everyone know about Kris from Curbside wheel repair 925-596-5603. He is out of Dublin but he picked up, fixed and delivered the wheel in less than 24hrs.

we will post it up soon. we are working on the start button and the removal of the ignition switch so the wiring has all been taken apart. I am very surprised at how quite the engine is at idle but still has a great growl when reved up.

Baby steps,
I finally found a couple of hours to get the new push button ignition switch wired up. Now i need to cut off the old switch from the column and fiberglass a new cover for the column. Feels good to get rid of one more failing original piece.
