13 inch wheels on a mk1 escort with bubble arches are the dogs IMO . Race and rally boys use them with an AP set up so are good for 250 hp plus powered motors. Much appreciate the time taken to post these vids that showcase the journey of each project and skills you can offer . You must have your hands full what with the differing needs of each customer and eclectic collection of cars at any one time . Keep up the great work .

With ref to the Landcruiser, when sold as a kit those American power brake / dual master cylinder conversions come with a length of aluminium rod superglued into the hole in the rear of master cylinder piston to fit with the shorter push rod on those after-market servos. I found out the other way around on my 65 Mustang. I bought one of the kits, but I found the 7" servo had inadequate assistance and went for a 9" servo from a later Mustang. I could not bolt the master cylinder to the 9" servo until I removed the aluminium slug from the master cylinder piston. Your solution of making a longer rod is much better as I think soft aluminium for the pushrod to push on is not a good engineering solution.

The body of work you guys have, and are still undertaking, is extraordinary. Second to none seems very fitting ... your care to detail and amazing engineering skills continue to astound me. Keep up the good work guys. An aside for the owner of the E type ... best advice to fit into a sports type car ... perhaps a weight loss program for the owner could be considered (not that I'm any example of fitting a size 10 body into a size 6 car)

How many times do I hear that you've got an aftermarket item from the States, only to find there's something wrong with it, or it's poorly made?! Having watched some US KZitem modification shows and it absolutely horrifies me at some of the bodges they seem to think are acceptable. Vice Grip Garage springs immediately to mind.
