But way less cool. It's like Robin's utility belt.

Actually, it sounds like an overly politically correct poster.

This might explain why my foot hits two pedals when I attempt to hit the gas.

Oh well.

Hey Fellas I've had this Merkur for 2 months now. It's time for an intercooler, but first I want a Cossie Grill. I live in Ontario, who on this continent other than BAT can get me a grill. I want to deal with a company not ebay. Can M2 get me one??? and there is a guy named Stu just outside of Toro...

Made it himself. I was there for the middle-end of it.

All prices in Canadian dollars.

Well, I've got it kind of jimmy-rigged with zipties to see how everything fits.

I'm using the MX6 intercooler, 1988 Scricco rad, and 1993 Nissan Altima twin-fan cooling system.

I'll take some pictures tommorow of how it sits.

I have only checked a few before the clerk got a little annoyed. Latley time has been scarce and it has been put on the back burner, but mainly from the research part of it. Work is money, car is money spent. Dang I need to figure out how to swap the two and quit work lol. Work for PM Motorsports. ...

It is actually easier (if you are going to make a few sets, to jsut machine the whole thing rather than deal with the welds (cutting weld can be a bummer). Splitting the work between a good cnc and a lathe would be about the same cost as a welder. If anyone knows of a balljoint with the right heigh...
