So who came first EMPI Speedwell or Berg in the development of garage door type linkage?

Speedwell was first.

I think they were inspired by the 356 Porsche linkage

Most likely but the 356 linkage mounts to the front of the fan shroud.

They are all crap, Mounting linkage to the shroud is the dumbest thing you can do. Coils fall off and do nothind!

If anyone needs some old angle iron and crusty hiem joints, apparently that seller feels its worth $750. Ewwwwww..............

I disagree. I've had a Berg linkage since 1980, put over 300,000 miles on it and never had any problems.
