Can any DB2 experts out there tell me why most DB2s don't have the rear brake/dampener cooling snorkel these days?
Do the latest brake pads not need the additional cooling? Do canister dampeners...

I would have sent that back for failure analysis and I bet he would have replaced it for free.

I've been using dogrings.com dog rings in both 1.6L and 2.0L cars for at over 20 years and never, ever had a problem with them. They handle my ham fisted no clutch shifting techniques quite well.

IMSA ran a FF series in '69 and '70.

Ian,

Looks exactly like the date code on their Motorcycle track day tires and I verified format with my dealer.
So I say yes, 18th week of 2016.

I bought mine at amazon, personally I use the paste and a brush because I'm slow and it dries slower.

If not mine will be done soon and I'll share it.

Exactly where in NorCal? It's a big state ;)

If you use last weekend at Thunderhill as an example, not so much. 6 finishers with the fastest lap of 1:45 in an ASR and the slowest at a 2:04 in a FM. No FA's or FB's.

Ben,

Having at least 2 duplicators per size makes the job much easier and quicker. Twice as many holes for the same amount of setup time.
Also, if you don't have any Clecos, order a dozen and a...

Ben,

Found this youtube video for using the strap duplicator.
Hope this helps.

Steve

If you have access to the panel edges, a strap duplicator works well. If you need to see a demo of using one, I can take a few pictures when I get home this evening.
