We need to ask Gene Berg Enterprises to manufacture their linkages without the cutout for the coil bracket...
When you're talking to them, get them to make that angle piece from Al instead of that piece of old bed frame.

Thanks for the comments DKK Fred and Zach.

Took a couple more pictures today:

Very nice and very clean!

A little tip, add two shrink rubbers to the valve cover bail so that you do not scratch it so badly. It also increase the pressure = less change for leaks.

I will post some pictures also. I will be makeing these peices for sale. The advantage's #1 are they are 1/2 inch shorter for stroked motors so motor tin does not hit body #2 clearanced for scat-trak manifolds with flanged edges, #3 you can tilt tin towards fan shroud and not have gap, #4 by leaning tin toward fan shroud now you can touch spark pluds, #5 If your tin is short next to case, With added flange on peice that I make , You dont have to weld strips on the end of cylinder tin

Belt cover came from the Samba, think I paid $25 for it, it's gone now though, never did put an id on it, it had some #'s cast in it (kind of what CB does) but couldn't find it's maker, believe it or not that Zenith pushed the buggy to 12.30's at a 102 in the 1/4....the cop callers were just that, didn't last a day on the car....went with the Scat set up, then a turbo on top of the flange Shocked

Hmmm interesting - I kinda have a thing for those Cast style covers - Thats the 5th style I've seen now - its pretty cool  Smiley

Here's mine - These are now being sold by Mark at Flatlands Engineering Smiley

there are some exceptions, but type3 engines don't have that much appeal to them. i like them, but there isn't much to see/show.  Undecided

anyway here is mine.

You ain't kidding about the '70s look. VERY COOL! Simple and to the point. I dig it. Other than the stuff on the firewall, I hope to get my 1915cc looking like that, one day.
