Good point, if they are too shiny then they might blind me on the track!!! At least that is a possible excuse I could use.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

thanks Mike!! Hope all is well with you.


Here are some steps taken to locate the oil tank in the cowl.

I added a remote cable to open and close the system. Along with a warning lamp.
I made a few retainer brackets to keep the cable in place and to avoid binding.
