I have to agree with Barry, I put one of the Roanoke VA conversions in my
'58 TR3A, back in the winter of '02, took it to Mossport in '03, to VIR in
'04 and Atlanta this year and I will never go back to the old set up. Bolts
right up. The only problem that I have is that everyone is sick of hearing
me brag of how great it is!
