I guess that is why the T&C rules are like they are pre 78 more engine, suspension, brake mods permitted but tyre aspect ratio and rim size limited. Post 78 more freedom on rims and rubber but limited engine, suspension and only brake material changes permitted (no big brake kits)
Hi Mike, Can you clarify your statement about no “ big brake kits “ under T&C rules. Previous discussion on a different thread was stating something similar and that such cars with Willwoods fitted were being rejected for C.O.D.’s Other groups running under T&C rules claim Willwoods to be period correct and are getting C.O.D.’s with them fitted. Is this one rule for one class and other for another class or just another failing of the C.O.D. system ?
