Hi Might be Bubbas adjustment. I saw this on strut rods as well. Just hit the bar with a hammer shortens it.:mad: Rgds. Günther

Hi Did you check if the C3 strut rod bushings fit ? Those rods realy look like strut rods and the center attachment piece like a ordinary C3 spring attachment plate. Rgds. Günther

Hi What VB&P sells, is exactly what I have installed on my 68. It is supposed to hold the tranny tight so it doesn't twist during acceleration, eliminating wheel hp as mentioned B4. The double link system looks like a home made one with ordinary strut rods. If you use poly bushings, it could...

Hi Don't mistake Offset with Backspace. The very low line from is Backspace = 4 " ( if I remember right , but I also have 3 3/4 " in mind ? ) on original 15x8 wheels for C3. Rgds. Günther Edit: the 8x15 had 4 " backspacing, the 1968 Vette 7 " probably had the 3 3/4 " I remember )

Hi Looks like if the central plate is boltet to the leaf spring mounting and both arms running fwd to the crossframe, where the arm brackets get welded to. I have the single bar version without rubber cushions. Rgds. Günther

Hi 26 spline should be OK and the flywheel should accept the 11 " clutch. Do resurface the flywheel as well and get it balanced. Myne needed a lot of balancing and the balancer told me he is used to this on US cars to find US balanced units so far out. The Centerforce double friction clutch is...

Hi I installed the ROTOPROS 2 years ago with HAWK pads and am very happy so far. But I am not racing , just driving harsh once in a while. No PB , but can draw lines onto the tarmac in both, acceleration and braking mode.:D I installed this slotted and drilled rotors because of the real...

Hi I am also driving the VB&P O-ring kit using my original old calipers which are stainless sleeved. So far with no problems. Same kit in my ex 68 was leaking after 5 years and 40.000 Miles. There is a lot of people saying that you should not use DOT 4 fluid in the Vette, but only the DOT 3...

Hi For a 1/4 mile race, my 1st gear might be unusable with the T56 and 4.11 rear end, but for corso driving etc it is just perfect. With the 3.70 rear and close ratio M21, I had to slip the clutch a lot with this slow driving and I am not Superman. I find the 1st gear being perfect and I can...

Hi Therefor you would want the tires to spin opposite direction on opposite axles to keep the belt "setting" And how about tires with a spin direction arrow ? If at all, front to back same side to keep them spinning same direction. That's what I got told for radials. Best is to keep them...

Hi Looking for a original 67 or 68 amp box for the TI ignition. Can be U/S, only need the shell. Thanks. Günther

Hi Yes, I had to shorten the upper cable because I installed the auto crossmember a couple of inches further back as original , because the T56 is much longer. I also modified the crossmember tranny seat so that the T56 sits directly on the crossmember and not on a bracket like the M21...

Hi I installed the SS braided lines with and without ( by mistake ) the copper washers and both types where leak free. When I installed a set of the original rubber hoses, they also had copper washers with them. Could it be the braided hose that has a faulty seat ? Your concentrating on the...

Hi Shifter outlet, so cutout of the tunnel. It runs then under the console and exits at the right place. after installingn the original inner boot, all is closed again. Here with the original M21 shifter stick modified to adapt to the T56. rgds. Günther
