Jeff,

Many parts are Jaguar, I have great luck with SNG Barrett. Perhaps because they are down the street from me. Other harder to find custom work might be fabricated by Mickmate (Nick). He does a great job and is planning to work with Doug and I on floor mounted pedal box, new gas tank, and possibly Coilover front end. Always something brewing here! he already makes a great roll bar for CCX Cars and others.

What parts are you trying to source Jeff? Start a new thread with parts in the title. That way we can not only get CCX guys but also the support of all the talented guys and gals in this hobby.

I have an early Contemporary with a Jag Rearend with no Watts Linkage. I would like to install radius rods from each wheel to a central location on the frame. If anyone has any good photos on the install and the wheel attachment, please help. I have had my Contemporary for 11 years and it has been great. I look forward to more chat on our cars on this site.

Thanks,

Len

I am definitely interested in a floor mounted pedal assembly, possibly a fuel tank, (depending upon material, capacity, and configuration), and any info or detailed pics on radiator/installation.

I have more detailed pics of radiator upgrade, drop me an email. I thought I had sent that out to you before? This is why this site is so powerful. The information transfer is great. I did post the instructions in our forum page under its own thread..

Len,
Great to have you aboard. Post pics of your car in your gallery. We would all like to see it. I planned a similar upgrade with Mickmate we have talked about it. Drop him an email, he may have some ideas that will allow it to work.

Yes, I had seen all of your info on upgrading the radiator, but I am starting from ground zero, no radiator, brackets, mounts, etc., anything to upgrade from. I kind of have an idea how to mount from looking at ERAs site, but all of that will have to be fabricated. What is the recommended radiator size? I have a 28" wide X 18.5" tall. It will fit snug between the front frame, but may be able to make it work. Thanks

does anyone know how Contemporary fabricated their steering arms? the Jaguar upright had an adapted arm that is bolted once and welded. I need replacement arm(s). Scary......................
