I don't know........ I had 250 pounders in my coupe first and it felt like a car with no suspension! I think the only damping or compression came from the tires! Most of the 510 Vintage race guys run 200-250 up front and the 1600 is a few hundred pounds heavier. I replaced mine with 175 pounders and it's still really firm, but at least it's got some compliance.

Anyone know where I can get front seat belts for a Coupe? Mine didn't come with any, and haven't had much luck in the junkyard. Does anyone sell replacements? I'd try a universal fit item, but I've never seen the stock ones so I don't have any dimensions for comparison or retractor orientation.

I don't love the logo, and don't know much about the Armbrust tuning house, however, I am usually the guy who revives or restores the vintage item so I am not sure I wanna lose the logo... Do you know of any other cool cast aluminum A-series valve covers?

I've got a Wilwood pedal box that mount the Master cylinders facing backward under the dash. They're really small and can fit with a little rearranging under the dash. Then the reservoirs are remotely mounted on the firewall.

Well... I'm the one who won it off EBAY and I was thinkin' of machining the LOGO off for my own. I just like the finned alloy look. I made my own valve cover and oil cap for my MINI, but after casting and everything it cost me about $400 USD! Still, it's cool to have something no one else has!

Are you sure? I got some B210 ones out of the junkyard last week and they are too large in diameter...

Thanks! I got some new ones already though... BTW, the 210 ones don't fit through the plastic grommet in the door card.

Anyone know where to get Door lock pulls for the 1200? I stuck a thread pitch guide on the post and it appears to be a wacky 4mm x .8 thread pitch! It's a real thread pitch but (apparently) nobody uses or even makes a tap for it!.......

How rare are these? would it be sacriligeous to machine off the 'Armbrust'?
