Mikey, how thick is the rear cover? I need to replace mine soon and it needs to be 5/8" to work with my limiter plate that goes behind it...


That's a TSI. The bolts are ARP 129-0902, plenty long for accessories.

Not yet, not sure if he's doing that or I am when drop it to him.

We meet halfway at the Skyway Bridge rest area.

Owner knew what he was doing picking it. Looked like Robo Cop blue in the sun light when I picked it up from powdercoat. Stopped by Costelllllo's to show it to him, looked like gun metal gray under incandescent lights in his shop.

In my shop with florescent lighting looks dark green/gray. It's a wild color.

It'll fit the dragster nicely once he's done with it.

standard brake?


It's a JW fast brake, A longtime friend/heads up racer bought one out of the JW vender trailer at a race he qualified, woke up in the am started car with little to no transmission pressure sticking pressure regulator, it had already sizzled a couple of my transmissions, so I had him install the gauge before the race.

Anyway, the thing was bad to the bone, blew my mind picked up like three hundredths on his reaction time same weekend/race. I've been using em exclusively ever since, and they're not cheap either. I'm paying double what I could get another brand for.

Easy on the tire too.

I like this powdercoat company, they're a lot better than the previous guy I used, and they actually enjoy doing stuff like this.

It's called ProFab Powercoat right down the street from Sunshine, anyone local needs work done. Real reasonable too, usually a week and they're slammed with work. Guys name is Joe.

Reason i ask is it has the smaller pancake solenoid which the standard brakes use.pro brakes usually run the bigger solenoid

Not thick enough...the one I have is 5/8" or .625" thick. The plate that mounts to the back of it is where my limiters attach. Most I've seen are 1/2"......not sure where mine came from......
