i recently purchased a couple of new backup lenses from ebay. I also already have one NOS in the box. One of the ones i bought from ebay was already mounted on the chrome trim. i got lucky and it had a nice new rubber seal as well, which will help me find material to reproduce another one for the other side.

also, i used one of the carbs i got from Gerry, and the incorrect one i had laying around that was originally on my car when i bought it so i could mock up the breather to see how it all fit together. i have since purchased another correct carb from Gerry that will go along with the other one to Daytona for a rebuild and restoration at the same time. i will keep the one that is workig on my car now as a back up and for parts.

i found a center piece for the mock up of my linkage. this is where the stock linkage will connect to. then i will run threaded rod on each side to two other rod ends connecting the carbs. this is all adjustable from both ends, so that is nice. http://www.midwestcontrol.com/series.php?id=186#
