Hi,


Regarding loading the car - I don't think that's an issue, although it 
might be. I have given thought to setting up a winch in the trailer.. I 
also need to consider this aspect of getting onto the lift in the garage. 
That's a really big "hill". Maybe I need a winch there too.

But, it could also be the driver riding the clutch - I'm not sure.

As regards to keeping things simple, I agree whole-heartedly. The switch 
in hydraulics came about as a result of a roll cage installation which 
included a change to the hydraulics for both the brakes and the clutch. My 
initial plan was to not touch any of that stuff, because it worked fine.

Lesson learned.

I'm also much more clear when I ask this fabricator to do anything to the 
car as he tends to go in with "all guns blazing".

I'm still trying to figure out how to get him to fix the front brace on 
the passenger side that is about 1/16" from the air horns on the Webers. 
But that's another can of worms.

;-)

To the question about what size fittings are in use, the current setup is 
all AN-3. I know that the stock stuff is AN-4. I'm ordering a new clutch 
M/C and some plumbing just for the heck of it. I may get another clutch 
disk and PP, just to have on hand. But to be honest, this is sort of 
frustrating in that I can't test any changes I make until I get to the 
track...

regards,
rml
