Their are a lot of familiar looking parts in there ! Is that the same CIS system that we use in the 928 world?
I like that adjustable mounting plate top link with the heim joint. Is that available or would it fit the 928 kit?

Yes, thats how I gravitated into those Ferrari's - they use a very similar CIS system in their cars. Its "KE-Jet instead of K-Jet, has a small electronic Lambda component.

So I took my K-Jet knowledge and re-applied it.

The turnbuckle at the top of the SC mount is for belt tracking only. It allows us to tip the top of the SC forward or back to get belt alignment perfect. I do not need it on the 928, the Germans were much more precise in their block castings and the SC ALWAYS mounts in the same place every time, reliably, and we can machine to match and the belts line right up. Not so the Italian Job. Every motor is cast and drilled a little different and we have to adjust for it.

Dave's track car is the first I've seen that could also win a concours.

Looking forward to seeing this beast on the track sometime this year. Are you going to try to make it to the PCA event in Limrock this year?

Thank you, you are indeed qualified to make that assessment.

BTW..getting ready to do some graphics for this car and the primary focus will be the company logo you created.
