REFLECTOR: Overhead switch panel

[Dennis Martin]

Hey Kurt,

The only overhead I've got is a dual overhead light from a 1970s-1980s
vintage junk yard Volvo. It's very flat and low profile. I used two screws
(one front and back) to hold it up. I then glassed the fiberglass channels
on each side right up to the light box and widened it at the light. Looks
good and works great.

I experimented with static test on engine again today. Still using a two
blade Catto for test runs.  Runs smooth as silk up to 6,000 RPMs - not bad
for static run. Still having trouble with throttle accelerator between
2,000-3,000 RPM band. It's all computer driven and I just haven't found the
right fuel mapping. All trial and error.

Tell me about the new master cylinders. Factory or your mod?

All the best,
Dennis
