Please put me on the list of buyers. How long would you estimate before buyers see hardware?
Thanks!

Just to be clear, the information I gave above is for the one that I made for my car. Dave is developing another version.

Re: Brake Brace for 1965-67 Roadster - Single Brake Master Cylinder
I’m working on the prototype now. It would great if I could find someone in the San Francisco Bay Area to fit to a car before going into production. So if anyone knows anybody with a early car in the area let them know to reach out to me.

Not sure it’s the same firewall. However I’ll check it out and see if it works for the 1500.
