I thought a few might get a kick out of seeing my "works in progress" 0993. Have another (fortunately smaller) pile of new components too. Amazing what can look good in the mind & sometimes on paper but you can find fault with after the fact or plain doesn't fit. Damn bracket has probably cost as much as the car by now. Chalk it up to being stubborn or stupid--take your pick.

Will go ahead and organize and finish the writeup in next few days. Between my verbosity, the BOM with some sources, photos & drawings it will probably need to be in 2-3 sections to keep the download size reasonable. Organizing it will be the big issue on this end.

Since I have to be in the mood to do this stuff anymore, would rather not get into the kit business. This will only be showing what I used and did on my car. Once all the info is out, maybe it will be decided this is not a good project after all. There is one thing that may give pause and that is cutting the stem on the booster so it fits probably voids the warranty.

With that in mind and a bill of material, some sources & lots of photos and drawings, hopefully anyone can either feel comfortable doing it using that info or if not comfortable or have the tools, take it to a welder or machinist and have it done. As Craig pointed out, some of the pieces may be overkill and by the owner doing the building, he is free to choose whatever he is comfortable with. Also, many minds are usually better so if anything is glaringly wrong, unsafe, undersized or could be done better, hopefully it would be found and mentioned.

Was hoping to get feedback on the quality of the component drawing I posted last week but guess it was detailed enough so will follow along those lines for the easier items. Most are just cut and drill or cut, drill and weld. Three that are a bit more involved have 1:1 drawings. If your printer can print real size, then those can be cut out and pasted onto metal for layout. I may go back and do more that way depending on the time it takes.
