FYI, presently I have only a single master cylinder and there's no ABS on the car.


Thanks

It's really not that important what the manufacturer is as I have seen a lot of modern prototypes using this type of anti roll bar.

It appears to use a single torsion bar that is driven by push rods that are actuated from the bell cranks. I just can't see how the forces coming from the two sides of the car don't cancel themselves out. Also how does this work when there is equal bump on both sides? Can anybody clue me in on how this works.

Just starting to panel my chassis and have noticed a few of the welds (specifically on internal corners) are holding the panels off the tubes, now before I break out the grinder what does everyone else do?? And if I do grind them off what paint should I use to touch up the powder coat?

What do most of you do?

Will be using top mounted pedals so one of these will be getting ordered. Note accelerator needs to be separate and is supplied along with the PCM for the Coyote.
