Getting thereGot one more piece of sheet metal left to put on, finial bleed on the brakes, change oil and a few zip ties to put on and I'm ready. Was going to load my straight up e-85 program back in the car but found that some dimwit <a href="http://www.animateit. had put a fuse block to close the the DB9 plug on the back of the ecu . I'll have to mix up a batch of brew like I have been running to bring down. Thanks to Budlight for bringing me some 101 moley, I'll get your stuff back asap. Thanks to my son for manhandling the axles in to car. Now onto the trailer. see you all in a week.
If my trailer didn't have such a steep incline, I wouldn't use one either. I've been using a hand winch, and it sucks. I need to plumb in a hydraulic brake lock on the rail, so that I can just drive up and lock the brakes. As it currently is, leaving it in gear won't keep it from rolling backwards.
I've only used my winch 3 times in 10 years.

sounds like you have a decent to do list too! if its dark when you get there, i would pass on a first timer night ride i wont even go out the first night i get there, but thats prob because its usually 1 am or later when i get there so not sure what kind of clutch cable system your running but, when i was building them, i eliminated the cables by mounting hydraulic slave cylinders right to the arm on the clutch case. easy to do then, all hydraulic from there one. just make sure you build a clutch pedal stop so you don't over throw it.

It's close to a 40° incline. The long ram jack is effortless to operate. It turned out better than I had anticipated. I'll take a photo tomorrow.
