    Nope, it's 3 inches which is the M correct? EDIT turns out I was wrong, they were SC fronts 3.5!

    Yes, 3" is the M type spacing. I know there are a lot of different styles of M size caliper, but the fluid inlet on that one is where the A caliper has it's fluid inlet, and that confused me. I'd have to guess it was not a Porsche caliper originally. Are you expecting to get get into the USA anytime soon? Like this year?

    I hope so! My first race is Mosport. I'm hearing rumors of border opening for late summer? So fall races still have a chance!

    That's a light pedal board. I managed to get more off.
    Total was close to 0.5 off one board

    It'll be interesting to see your result. I don't think you'll get there without super light FG lids and doors. My sister's 69 race car is something near 1850 and probably a little less. It has swiss cheese holes all over the chassis and lightweight FG bumpers, lids, and doors if I remember correctly. Good luck!

    I'm going with FG hoods and deck as well as doors.
    It's will be close

    Today got around to the suspension.

    Not fit for Cert but period correct for what you are doing.
    First Scheel Fiberglass Bucket Seat era 1966/67 and at just over 11 lbs would have been the GO back in the day.
