I'd see if he's still making them, last mag I can find with it in there was just June '17

Also Steve Lorenzen ([email protected], 502-817-8761) and Dick Sweeney ([email protected], 619-806-3255) offers repair services on the motors. The linkages are typically what makes them get out of sync or sag.

I still suggest you join the ROA, lots of good stuff and resources even if the forum has it's curmudgeons.
Check out this modified Riv, also a ROA member:

Yeah, John Lyons is in the process of putting 355s (!) on the FRONT of that '68 (!!!) - the car is nearly 1/2 carbon, super bad.

I'd love to hear what those stock guys "over there" would have to say about this one.

I have a good friend who's big into the experimental and homebuilt aircraft scene. I'm hoping at some point we can do up molds for the door skins since they would be the simplest. I've already pinched some ideas from John (with his permission) for the front suspension of mine.
