My latest '75 model from Oregon came to me in parts, but mostly complete. I built a 2056 with Elgin cam and twin Weber 40 IDF's and am quite happy with the results. She has a decent kick and gets 30+ mpg cruising over 70 mph. One rear caliper was missing, but I had a newly rebuilt one and changed it out. I used my shop air with about 5 psi to bleed and it worked for the most part. My pedal is about 80% of where I would like it.
Q: where is the brake fluid going? I recently sold my 356SC that had the same issue, but it had a drip in the rear circuit. This time I cannot see leakage anywhere thanks |

Keep an eye on Ebay, and some of the parts houses that sell NOS parts. I believe the NOS ATE part number is 3.0370.1517.2 That Summit part would be super interesting if it really is a rebuilt 17mm. |
