    So, here's the changes! Back to King and Link pin front beam and I couldn't be happier. Well, a Rayvern or Slambassador juice displacement kit... maybe. Happy... for now, I should say! No Gadget and PeteGee, it doesn't "need wheels"!!!

    1970 Michigan Missile.

    Lovely bus! What size air line are you running to the Gabriels? Looks like it may be 1/4? Are you using an adapter at the shock? I have a 1/4 system but at the moment it simply feeds to presta valve T and lines that come with the shock (which are tiny as you know). I really want to get 1/4 lines...

    Few updates... Engine out for a post run in clean up ( discovered my oil cooler leaks :lol: ) This will be the third time I've changed my outer CV boots. I went with some Febi ones this time. Will see if they last longer than 6 months! Oh and I bent yet another stainless tail pipe :roll...

    Popped up to help my mate Chris with his 66 ready for his wedding in August... Was a decent run for the new engine and performed very well :)

    Wow, 2014 was my last update! Definitely time for another! We bought a new house which I renovated over 2-3 years and so Guido basically became a builders van for the duration! However, now the renovation is basically done, it's time to clear out space in my garage and get him in there...

    Would this spindle mean no more bloody expensive Brazilian spindles in order to go KnL with late bay brakes!? If so, VERY interested!

    Hesitation at low revs when warm

    Update: OK, I feel like a bit of an idiot!
