What do the threads of the drain plug...

    Disk brake conversion kits

    I didn’t have a low pedal nor did I need to replace the master cylinder. Just ensure you perform a good flush of the brake fluid thru the system, ensure the caliper brake bleeders are at the top and do a good job of bleeding the system.

    Headlight relayed harness for only $9.90 shipped

    After reading the description on EBay for that harness; no where does it state what the gauge of the wiring or the rating of the relays. The only information provided is that the harness is rated for 80A; which I highly doubt. For the harness to be rated for 80A; that would require 4 gauge...

    Vibes

    I understand you are looking for the contact point of the vibrations, but how about where are the vibrations starting.
