I used the fiberglass dog leg and it did not fit well at all. It works but if I had it to do over I would try to find a metal one new or used.

After reading your last post, I and anyone else reading it can now understand why you are not able to resolve a dispute if it did occur.

Why are they crooks? I worked for them for 6 years and were always honest and did the right thing for everyone. If they have the parts you need and the price is known how can they be crooks?

Anyone know how many 1969s are on the registry as operating vehicles? Someone is claiming that there are more Cosworth Vegas still operating than 1969 Corvairs.
