Re: Pattern ERA Body Kit

After market body kits pop up on ebay every now and then but i think they are all made by these guys:-

Re: ARdiator Bracket

I made mine starting with a 1275GT top bracket and added the bends & extra holes. I'm sure that is what ERA would have done too :)

Just as a trial, pull the rubber pipe off (off the steel pipe on the clutch ...
