    Poorly described on my part, seeing what looks to be an extra link rod going diagonally which is the cross link stroke panhard triangulated?

    Went to the southern swap meet yesterday, first time I've been to that event, is the car park always that bad getting out???
    Didn't find my MT valve covers, saw three sets for a SBC but none for a SBF

    Did see this though and couldn't resist.

    Pedals now in
    Junked the old escort bias box and built pedals from scratch to incorporate a more beefy master cylinder. Steering column and seats to mount next.
