Well, first of all the structures are different between the E-type and =
the BJ8. The purpose of the structural mod to the firewall is to =
stiffen it to increase its natural vibration frequency. I did that mod =
and noticed the difference, but it didn=E2=80=99t remove all of the =

enough to Allen that I can take the car to him when necessary.

I had the tires shaved and balanced and the tech marked each tire as to =
the position the car. The best were on the front right left and the =
worst were rear right and left. Did not balance brake drums or anything =

Hard to find a garage which has the equipment. You need to do an =
