Hi all, As some of you know, about 25 years ago, MGM rented my TR-3 for the movie "Diner". It was a really great experience for me. They were wonderful to work with, they treated me very well. In fac

That's still the reputation that the IT classes have - not as bad as the SRF's or the Spec Miatas but pretty rough. Of course, this is from the perspective of an open wheel racer. R. John Lye rjl6n@c

You may need to fabricate it yourself. Get some aluminum rod, and a left handed tap (http://www.pegasusautoracing.com has them, I believe). You'll use male ended heim joints with this setup. R. John
