My sub belts are too short as they are, but I can't see how to get any other anchors with the seat clearance (back yard rail) I have.

I am afraid of drilling through the fuel line and still not getting the desired result.

I haven't heard anything back from BSR on the instructor clinic. Maybe a phone call would be better than an e-mail.

Lou,

You could simply show up for the clinic with your NASA instructor license and they'd fit you in no problem because there's always a few no-shows. But it wouldn't hurt to call BSR and firm up a slot.

I finally got out to the garage yesterday and did some work on the S. I removed the passenger window, window track and drive. I fabricated a bracket like the one Piper made that allows the window to be put in place to keep rain out but lifts out easily.

I also wired the heater vent open for defrost, removed the cruise control and started on the A/C removal. You have to pull the alternator to remove the A/C compressor--what a pain.

I still have a seized right rear axle bolt and bad bearing I'm working on but at least I'm making a little progress.

For eye bolts and backing plates go to OG Racing they will have exactly what you need.

We have the log books with Dan's stamp of completion. I think that is good. At least it would be for anyone that knows Dan.

Yea, that should work just fine or BSR or any other sanctioning body.

I got the alternator off, the A/C compressor out, and most importantly the alternator back on. The new shorter serpentine belt was easier to install than I thought it would be. Thanks Honda for that very cool auto-belt tensioner.

Next project is to pull the nose off, remove the A/C radiator & lines, remove the air pump, upgrade the brake vents to 2 1/2 inch hose and trim the back edge of the splitter to make it legal for H1.

But right now it's time for a cold beer.
