It works fine, is out of the way, and in 11 years, has never pitched the belt. Cheap and simple.

What trans are you going to use? I have a transbrake solenoid for a c4 that won't fit my case. I have a 72 push in case and this modulator is thread in. Fairly large threads, too. It's from a company in the South. Georgia, I think. BTE?

99% sure it will be a C-4 Dale, but I can't use a transbrake. Going to talk to Thomas Arnett soon to see if he has a C-4 lying around...or if he even wants to mess with one lol.

That statement infers that doing something out of the scope of the rule book is alright as long as it isnt spoken of...at least that is how I interpreted it. I don't exist in a grey area nor do I wish to...I'm the most black and white person you are likely to meet and make no apologies for it. The only reason I post on this forum is because I thought this would be the best place to gather information from like minded racers on subjects or issues I have with ongoing projects.

I understand this is a open forum and I appreciate information and suggestions from all regardless of experience...you never know what ideas might prove beneficial until you hear them. I like to think I'm savvy enough to sort through and consider all input. Those that follow me here know I am not prone to opinions nor do I usually comment on subjects unless I have personal experience with them. Btw, I do have contact with and consider advice from some of the racers you mentioned, but I do not limit myself or censor information from all other sources.

With that off my chest let's continue this build. Hoping I can take delivery early enough tm to allow me to at least set the hoop in the car to measure clearance with the ragtop. :)
