Talking Re: Right Hand Drive Pedal Box

Thanks Chris,

Angelo has the first CAV in Canada and chose the Gulf colours which at the time wouldn't have been my choice but now with the roundels, numbers, your decals the full impact of the car jumps out. To see the Gulf colours without all that just seems bland somehow.

Anyways, we had the car in for complete upgrades, front and rear steel uprights, new rear lower A-Arms (he had 1st generation parts), shifter to latest spec, drop the engine to correct height, in tank full pumps with vents and rollover valves etc.

So one thing led to another, once the car is down to the bare tub - how much worse can it be to go right hand drive? While we're at it the decision was made to go with one filler cap just like the later JWA cars. The prototype quick lift bracket was made on this car too.

So I guess the motivation was in getting as close to the original as possible. It's going to be a show stopper no doubt! Yes, please drop in sometime

Cheers
