        Got all the centers of the Fikse's blasted and ready for paint. I'm thinking classic gold.

        Side note: anyone know if I need a longer throttle cable for a carb setup? I still need to do some test fitting.

          Not sure, those brakes look CLEAN! What kind of rotors and pads are you going to run? Do you know what the width of a stock rotor is? The braking surface? I tossed my old ones.

                          So whats the big deal? You can only be one of the first guys to swap in a certain engine, you were, right?
                          If you want your swap to STAY unique it either has to make no sense (smart 3-cyl), or be not affordable at all (ferrari v12, though some crazy swede probably is doing it right meow).
                          Now go slap itb's and a megasquirt on to your 302 :D:nice:

                          This here seems to come along nicely, would've never had the patience for that bay cleaning ^^

                            I think gold with polished lips would be a great color for the Fikse's.

                              The stock rotors are approx. 13mm thick while the G60 rotors are approx. 21mm thick. Braking surface on stock is about 35mm while G60 is sitting at about 50mm. Here are some comparison pics, stock vs. G60:






                              Hope that helps!
