I got the breathers from a Marine Supply store. I don't remember where but I don't think you will have troubles finding them. Marine Supply is also a good place to source the fuel filler hoses.
Jim, I plan on running the Dragon in it next year. |

West Marine, Model 138792, chrome plated brass that fits a 5/8" hose. $10.99. Described as a "thru-hull vent." | |

If you want true roll over vents, which fit a 5/16" hose (likely a better match for the threaded vent in the RCR) check these out. This is what I am using. Tanks Accessories

I highly recommend the ones Chuck mentions from Street Rods by Michael. I have them and will use them again. | |

Today was the big day. The car moved under its own power for the first time. It took a while to sort the shifter out. I could not get first gear. A bolt for attaching the shifter cable heim joint to the sector shaft was bottoming out against the transaxle before it got to the gate for first gear. Once I cut a few threads off the bolt I was good to go. | |
