    Redstone Deuces Arrive

    Thanks for the comments. Yes Pawnshop, the dropside does incorporate the new "high-speed-low-drag crew cover". It seems to engage automatically at aprox 70 mph. I'm glad the automatic hood release didn't engage, the transport driver did not secure the hood latches as instructed prior to...

But, to help a fellow SS, I'll speak with S&S on Tuesday and ask about where the M151 Cylinders are coming from and pass...

Most of the brake parts come from a US manufacturer, the same one that supplies the US Military. Some of their parts come from Korea and some from other...
