you need one of these! (see below...someone is listing them on ebay right now....)

There is another one that lists all the stuff that the car doesn't have....seat belts...side crash protection......

Nice car! Glad to see you got it running with little difficulty and no fires!!

Be sure to flush those brake/clutch systems out and put in Castrol Dot 4 only. (or some other Dot4...) But Castrol is recommended by seal makers... Eventually you will want to dissassemble the clutch master and slaves to clean the garp out of them, same for the brake calipers and master. I had all of my cylinders bronze sleeved and installed new seals. All seals are easily available still!

Check the condition of the flex lines for the brakes and the clutch.....replace if they are originals!

Re clutch effort: It is NOT an easy clutch....but you can get used to it. Firm sole shoes help! I find cowboy boots to be good drivers....

Not so much for summer....

Ciao!
Steve
