Can't wait to see what it's like!

Me too.
Comes in a box that is smaller than you’d think.
I got mine as I’m adding A/C

Is it easy to install?

Fri May 31, 2019 2:39 pm

Piece of cake.
Hardest part is at the pedal assembly.

Any pointers you could give me?
And do you have some pics?

It comes with great pictures in the instructions included with the kit.

Like they said above, installation is a piece of cake. Hooking up the cable to the gas pedal is the hardest part....and it’s not that hard.

Pete did a thorough job with the pictures in the instructions.

Thanx,
Is there anything I can prepare before it arrives?

Wow! Really surprised to hear you say that, i had given up on dual's all together because with the ridiculous hex bar stuff i could never get them set up and sync'ed without wanting to commit suicide.
On the buggy i just did, I had the notion that it was going to be a nightmare to set up the synclink as well, but it took me about an hour to install the sync link and maybe 10 minutes tops to get it dialed in perfect. It's still perfect.
Maybe i got lucky.

It has arrived!
Quicker than I expected, looks very well made,
Came with a sticker (I love stickers for my toolbox)
But it did not come with instructions
A lot of it looks straightforward, however a couple of things
Look special, anyone have the instructions?

I never really figured out why so many people have problems with the Hex bar systems. Except of course with the flimsy versions.
I actually surpressed how clumsy and ugly the synclink is, but I guess functionality over looks come into play here. Even I have to respect that. But not something I would put on my own car.

I'm upgrading from a csp bellcrank linkeage, which was fine, but a bit fiddely, so I thought I'd give this a try.

One suggestion.
Use some locking nuts on the carb throttle shafts. The nuts with the nylon in them. I had problems with the regular nuts coming loose.
