I noticed that, but figured you were going for a VVT layout. I did that along with a cap bypass switch, years ago on my former July '73 4001, I still have it if anyone is interested. :wink:

No that wasn't what I was going for at all. I flat out missed this... :oops: Funny thing is I had them make two custom guards.. this one and a clear acryllic one that I am also going to paint gold and then see which looks better.
