Will your linkage cover all these carbs? Also how do you want payment and what price please, cheers Damien.

The IDF use a different pulley and mouting bracket, than the DRLA carbs. PM me if interested.

Pete, the system is great-- thanks for putting one together for my non-stock application. I just received the car back from NOH2O at DTM Engineering who performed the installation, and it's really transformed the system. Plus, I was able to lose the unattractive Raby alternator stand w/filler neck that the previous bell-crank linkage mount was welded to-- in favor of a custom job from the gents at DTM Engineering. I hope you do very well with this product-- it's certainly deserving.

Regards,
Dave

Wow. I was going to post a picture of my engine with Pete's system installed on my Cali-converted 1.7 this week but how am I supposed to impress after the above picture?

That engine bay is amazing. Very nicely done.

Thanks Laz, sorry that I missed the show in Spartanburg. I went to high school in Greenville, SC-- so it would have been interesting. The Gilmore kit needed tons of love from the DTM boys-- so be sure to let NOH2O fill you in on what you'll be up against with a T4. Gilmore needs to package it with Pete's cable system, because the linkage around the compressor was half the battle.

Thanks for the good words , Dave. But, a huge thanks goes to Dave at DTM, for modifying and making the system work with your engine :D

I have already spoken with danny (wrench&ride247) he looked at my stuff and did a little figuring and already has a good idea about how he is gonna fab a bracket. the engine and tranny are coming out over the winter for the quaife to be installed. so maybe it will be a good time to get a start on the install.maybe next year on the Eurofest 2011. btw i drove the m5 4 laps at the test track for $40. a pretty good deal.

Thanks for the kind words from all. I'm glad Pete's Sync Link system is working well for you Dave. I think that everyone who has installed this linkage is very glad they did. I know love mine. I have a pile of cross-bar, center pull and bell-crank stuff I was hanging on to. I now think it is all junk and I need to take it all to a swap meet and get rid of it.

Pete. Is it possible to get the main cable length (pedal to rear) in a long enough run for an early bus application? Thanks.

Well then... :D ...The initial setup will be for a dual Weber T4 upright in the bus. I will eventually upgrade to fuel injection via dual throttle bodies, but I am not sure how long down the road that will be.
