Re: Brake pads

Speaking of brake pads, I was curious if there was something a bit more grippy for my T4 than the stock Norge GU01654630 pads.

Re: Wheel balancing

For a more "period correct" look I used an old dirt track racer trick using heavy solder. WHEEL WEIGHTS.jpg I had the mounted wheels balanced and the rim marked with the weight and position required. Measured out the appropriate weight solder and wrapped the spokes, splitting the solder proportional...

Seat pull

This probably a no brainer but it beats using a screwdriver to unstick and pull forward the back rest.

Quick and dirty...stitched up from leftovers that came with the upholstery set, screwed to the top of the seat back.

Re: Fuel gauge heads up.

Thanks! Color is a 2020 Volvo White Pearl...beat out BRG by a hair for its higher visibility in my northern California vehicle battlegrounds. To help stand out even more i rigged an LED mast from Tribal Whips. An optional module turns the whip all red when braking.
