Phil replied to the topic Hows about a West Coast meet? in the forum General Discussion 6 years, 4 months ago

Mine is the same as newkitman — along the right side of the passenger (right) side with the rest of the wiring harness under the inner fiberglass flange. If I remember correctly that is where the manual says to route it.Phil

” And still looking for that M10-1.25 coupler for my brake pedal assembly.” I suggest the easiest way would be to take it to a welder.

Phil replied to the topic Beautiful day for a drive in the forum TD Replicas 9 years, 1 month ago
What fence?It’s “The longest undefended border in the world.” But I would not recommend trying to cross it without going thru the proper access points.

(This site did not exist when I was doing the…[Read more]
