If you're going with Webers (a must) and want an original looking bellcrank that mounts to the rear of the driver's side cylinder head use this

You'll have to fabricate your mechanical linkage and bellcrank mounting bracket. I can post pics of what the setup looks like

If I forgot something, I'll add it later in red

Great List Bill Thanks

Expecting Mk4 any day now and hope to incorporate as many period correct parts as possible.

And if anyone wants to see how amazing a period correct build can look, you must look at Bill's build; it is absolutely stunning!

His attention to detail is just amazing, and his craftsmanship is to be envied!

Great list Bill, and thanks for the link Paul P.

So, I went to that thread, and all of the OP’s posts just say “deleted?”

Just the pics.

The OP was able to build an FIA focused on originality when FFRR had pin-drive wheels for IRS. His build is stunning! Magnificent!

Now FFR seems to no longer offer the pin-drive option for the front suspension.

[SCMedLion]

Thanks. Wish the pics were still there.

[2FAST4U]

The pics disappeared when picture picture domain photobucket wanted big bucks to host pictures. If you continue through the build new pictures are posted after moving to a new hosting service

[SCMedLion]

I see. Makes sense. I used to have pics on a woodworking forum that disappeared for the same reason.

[North Shore Tiger]

Great list, thanks for the info. Saves us a lot of leg work.
