Looks great Phil! You have me thinking I should be considering a white stripe as well...

Phil,
I was at the Nor Cal mini nats too, and the same ERA caught my eye as well. I briefly talked with the owner and this is the FIA that is on the ERA website. A great example of ERA’s craftsmanship being regularly exercised on the track. I have no doubt that your car will be much the same!

Starting to install the panels and some exterior items. Has any one used the Clutch slave cylinder from Modern Driveline. Wonder if it would work? Starting to get going on building and engine. Hope to install motor early next year. Fingers crossed...

Looking good. First thing - I don't know anything about the push from the rear type of slave setup. Your fork pivots on the right side of the bellhousing - right? It looks suspiciously to me like you have less mechanical leverage with that type of set up and would need a slave with more than the usual 1 inch +/- stroke. I would think that the pivot should also be shimmed a little forward to move the left side of the fork back towards the slave cylinder a little more so that there is plenty of room for fork travel without hitting the front of the fork opening in the bellhousing.
But - I don't really know anything about this type of set up.

The #142 FIA car, is that Joe R's ex car, from NY/CT? Not only a Very nice build, but exceptionally fast (at least with laid back Joe running it).

I got mine from Brent. Works fine. I don't think he does that upgrade himself but you should ask him. He'll give you a straight answer.

I've used that slave cylinder from Modern Driveline for 2 summers, now, and all is well thus far.
Great looking car!

Thanks, was looking at MDL slave cylinder. On the 331. Eagle stroker kit, 11:1 compression, Hyd Roller Lunati cam @.050 241/249 with .600/.600 lift LSA 110. AFR Renegade street/strip head 58cc 2.02/1.60 valves. want to run webers but going to run a Holley 4bbl with a Torker manifold for a year then buy the Weber set up.

I'm only guessing but could it be the line from the brake reservoir to the master cylinders. Do you have the single reservoir? However, not sure where it splits to feed the two masters. It kind of looks more like a brake circuit line with fittings on both ends.
I had a bag of strange tubes with mine and couldn't figure out what they were for, for about 6 months. I had ordered the Girling separate reservoirs and finally I realized they were the various lines stubbing out of the cans.
Just remembered that you finished your chassis yourself - didn't you? Is that the brake cross over line at the rear between rubber hoses to the calipers I can see the front one in your pictures.

The hard line goes from the outside (front) master cylinder to the "T" on the left chassis stud.
