nice work Brian. Glad to see you can squeeze in some VW time. I like your garage floor, looks nice.

Great update :thumbs:

Have you considered an electric/ manual fuel shut off solenoid valve? That way you would have additional piece of mind against thievery and fires.

Thanks gents. :beer:

Chris, I do have a "secret" switch to cut power to the fuel pump that I can easily reach from the driver's seat that I can use as an anti-theft device or to cut power in an emergency 8-)

I got some eye-candy from Jack
Image

Pulled apart my IDAs so I can set them up. They need the 3rd progression hole, float bowl enlargement, bigger needle and seat valves, and jetting changes

Stock 37 mm IDA venturie on the left, the 44's that I'll be running on the right :shock:

Still waiting on my heads to be built, Darren had a hard time finding guides for my custom valves, but he's got them now. Getting this thing on the road for the classic is going to come down to the wire... :P

do you have any close up pictures of the fog light mounts? Where they mount to the T-bars?
