Dauntless
I'm interested, but from memory that required hacking up a few things like the dipstick and accelerator pedal?
Spac
Dipstick and tube had to be shortened or bent. I went with shortening it because it was the simpler, neater method.
This needs to happen with Webers too.
I modified the accelerator pedal (which I'd be happy to include, because the modified pedal will be way too slow for egads' Webers/Stromberg), or you could fit a larger diameter throttle wheel to the TBs.

If it's a fairly neat and functional solution, then I'd be interested. Would it be possible to send me some pics? Where does the top of the dipstick tube end now?
Spac
The dipstick tube stuck up out of the block by about 25mm. It could have been longer, but that's what worked at the time.
I'll look for pics.

By any chance is anyone keen on buying this from me? As per usual I have done nothing with it and can't see me doing anything for ages. $2500 and it is yours.

I most probably can't get it, but does it come with the worked motor or race seats? Got any pics?
egads (she/her)
No worked motor and seats are basic race seats of a type I can't remember.
Comes with b23 and m45 and single carb. Perfect set up for basic lots of fun and most power.
Anything I can do to sway you towards getting it?

It is still at spacs so will take some pics when I can.

I'd love to see some pics, but no hurry at all.
I am really interested in joining the historic rally club (which I'm pretty sure I need a cage, etc for) but not sure how realistic it is yet.
I'll have to look into the rules re club rego vs the new mod and rally rego rules that are coming out soon too.
Also, what's the engine wiring currently set up for? The 82 engine, or aftermarket gear?

I think the wiring is for the old ems that was taken out.
This car was initially used for the Alpine by @spac so everything has been done with fitting into HRA spec.
Vic rally rego scheme for rego?
Spac
Seats are Velo Milano, fat boy size. Good quality seats in decent nick.
The motor with the car is the one out of the old yellow 244 race car. Was supposed to be something special, but it seems to just be a balanced GT-spec motor, possibly with a H cam (cam maybe be a regrind?).
Needs a hone and some fiddling.
The EFI-specific stuff isn't in/with the car - it was part of the deal I did with egads, as he was intending to run it with carb(s).
With the B23E in it, it would go close to meeting Vic historic rego rules - you'd just need to find one of the more lenient clubs. Definitely meets Vic Rally rego rules, but would need a mechanical handbrake re-fitted.
