looks like the linkage on the conda green split when it was still brown.
nicely fabricated, just wondering if bar can roll smoothly through the 3 clamps that bolt it to the shroud.
I don't remember what kind of linkage Mahaffey had on that car but I suppose there are only so many ways to make something that works.
The trick is to have the 3 supports line up perfectly vertically and spaced equal distance from the fan housing. That's the problem I've been trying to solve and I think I've got it............but time will tell.

I've been wondering how things are going - its looking AWESOME dude, that motor is a bit of a tight fit ;)
By the way what linkage is that your using ???
Hey Lee,
Did Russell ever send you those dash panels?
I made the linkage......it's a work in progress. I wanted it to be as simple as possible and I've accomplished that. It seems to work OK but I'm tired of fiddling with it so if it gives me any grief, I'll replace it. Originally I had Teflon coated bushings to support the cross bar but I forgot to allow for the thickness of the chrome plating so used my back up brackets that weren't opened up for the bushings.

Hey Marc - Na I haven't got them off him yet (to be honest I had forgot all about them doh!) :)
That linkage is pretty cool - I have been thinking ALOT about a linkage for PROJECT 66 and I have been thinking about a 356 style setup :-\ I have ALWAYS thought it would be better & easyier to control the linkage from behind the fanhousing - mainly due to the flex/twist of the engine when driving - Any thoughts ??? :)
speedwell:
it cool to see your car alive marc ,congrats

The same thought crossed my mind for AssHull's '67, can't have enough Porsche influence ::) But he already had Berg linkage, so we reused that. You would have to make sure it clears the doghouse (if so equipped), but other than that, I don't see a problem. It would really clean up the engine compartment.
