mfg Posted November 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Yes....Blake definitely wanted to 'lose' the Bendix/Dunlop disc brakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottgriggs Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 He didn't like the "II", the slow steering ratio (fast steering arms), the loss of the rake (partially remedied by smaller front/larger rear tires), the lacquer paint, and the 5 mph front bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Also added heavier front and rear sway bars. I think that was his idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
