Kabriolett birthday is March 9th, 1966. So in celebration of her 47th B-Day, decided to give her some new binders & shoes. Here she is getting upgraded Disc brakes up front along with a dual circuit master cylinder for safety. Of course there's a Hurst roll control plumbed into the system as well

Im located in Sunny Southern California, so of course its always top down weather. But I hate the feeling of the baking sun on my skin for some reason. Besides, after paying sooo much $$$ for the top, Im gonna show it to the world

It's a replacement. Gets rid of the slop from the OEM Urethane coupler for a more positive feel. Drawback is it does send a vibrating noise through the shift rod on street driver cars.

Goes to show if there is something to be dreamed up, somebody will make it.
This looks like a drag only part, because a tranny with stock rubber mounts is likely to jump out of gear over speed bumps with this setup -- which is why the factory used rubber in the first place.
Still a neat solution and looks like a quality part. Shame to hide it under an access plate.
