Winslow,
I also got a parts list of the other parts needed to make this happen. I have them saved with Summit Racing part numbers. The part numbers I chose are the Earls equivalent to the Summit Racing part number. You can save a few dollars on the Summit hardware, I like the quality of the Earl's, plus I can get black anodized with Earl's. Let me know if you need this info.
And yep, the contact info for John above is what I have.

Edit: And I completely agree, this rail is overbuilt in its mounting, which is great for such a critical peice. The fact that it doesn't have a name on it, and isn't anodized blue are just bonuses. Tell ya the truth, I'd have bought the Lindsey rail already if they offered it clear anodized without the name on it.

Edit 2: I have a bunch of pictures I'll throw up tonight. I have more pics of the Sunday morning auto x than I have of the swapmeet.

All -

Melanie and I had a blast at the dinner again this year. We are looking forward to "tasty beverages" with Winslow, Travis, Wade, Chris, Lee, John and all others next year! It was also nice to finally meet Jen! Sorry the Rennstock dvd didn't work, but we can always watch it at the first annual Rennlist Oktoberfest and movie night.

Thanks to all the sponsors, we really appreciate it and do remember you when we are in need - in fact, I already ordered the 968 Caster Blocks from Paragon Products for the new wheels I picked up in Hershey (thanks again Winslow).

Travis - excellent job with the dinner - just watch out for waitresses that are Cornell graduates who somehow skipped the class on "modern colloquialism" - Imo!

Best to all -

She thought I called her a really big bird.

I suppose - better to describe a "bird" than a "cat"!

Jeremy,
It was great meeting yourself and Melanie too.
Of course, we'll do it again next year.

Winslow, I did not end up buying the fuel rail, but it certainly looked nice and built to last. My major purchase ended up being a Sparco racing seat instead. IIRC John said the price after the swap would be $250.
