Impressive! I've never seen anyone do that. I like it. :burnout: :sportbike:

I am interested in the newer brake and clutch system you added to the early dash. I have a 1960 and I would love to upgrade the brake and ad a hydraulic clutch to it.

I would build you a mount similar to mine, but in hindsight I would like to start from scratch as the geometry of the pedals aren't perfect.

Might be something worth looking into if I ever get an early corvair again.

The brakes and clutch do feel very good though, I am a huge fan of wilwood master cylinders and their proportioning valves are really easy to setup.

Let me know if you're willing to do that. I'd be a buyer. :tu:

Actually this is something odd I have noticed, I am subscribed to this post and some others and I have never received an email about notifications.

I just sent myself a test email and didn't receive it, so I'm not sure if any of my emails are getting through the website and I don't think I'm recieving pm's
