Street is Neat!
Thanks for the quick reply, I should have waited for your reply but I paid for the call to Calif. and got the same answer from the TCI Customer Service. Next time I'll just sit here and save the cost of the phone call (NOT an 800 No.!). For interested listeners, there is another point about the rear four bar. There is a heavy 1/4" oval plate that fits over the two bolts on each side as a reinforcement to maintain the spacing between the upper and lower bolt. I did not know how to phrase a question about that here and that is why I called TCI. I suppose on a 9" rear with a 400 HP setup there might be a chance of bending or wrinkling the rear mount brackets, but on my 8" rear and only a 250-300 HP motor those plates placed on the outer part of the rear brackets should be more than adequate to keep the rear aligned without "drag twist". Streets I am pleased that you take an interest in my roadster, I guess there is a responsibility with a classic roadster to do it right so I'll probably have more questions as I build.
Best Wishes,
