Tom, While not an S-1, here is how my Stalker is set up with an in-line pressure switch; no issues with brake lights/switch: http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=23555 X

Any update on John Watson?

bigdog, I don't know what you have available in Germany, but here in the U.S., when I have a need to tow my car (track day), I rent a U-Haul. It's relatively cheap and when I'm finished with it, I simply turn it in and I don't have the burden of ownership, nor do I have to concern myself with storing it when not being used.

Croc, The brunt of the impact never migrated past the engine bay. However, I would have to say the cage definitely added additional 'overall' structural integrity to the frame.

Awesome work! Very impressive!

Stupid spell check . . . modify IT right away. And you can't edit from an iPad!

LOL!!!!!! Leave it to a 'car guy' to buy a brand new car, get it home and then modify but right away. Now that is Crazy.

You need a solid mounting point for all belts including the sub belt. Here is what I did to Stalker chassis #85: http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=21959

Pickup occupant was okay.

The word I got was that the F-150 driver was engaging in adult-beverage abuse.

To all, I’m posting this for 4MARIO (his forum user name on this site), a friend and fellow Stalker owner, in order to post a few photos with this post. On Saturday Nov 9th, 4MARIO had a major accident involving his Stalker (chassis #142) and a Ford F150 pickup. The pickup ran a red light and 4MARIO impacted the Ford in the right side at 50 MPH flipping the truck over onto its side. Except for some temporary soreness, and a few stitches to the right hand of his passenger (braced himself for impact using the RH mirror support), both 4MARIO and his friend walked away from the accident without any serious injuries; both were wearing their 5-point harnesses. :blueangel: When the Police and EMS personnel arrived, they were amazed to see both of these guys out of the car, up and walking around. 4MARIO’s message (his words) to all is this: 1) WEAR ALL YOUR BELTS AT ALL TIMES (hopefully you have 5 point harness) 2) SCOTT MINEHART BUILDS ONE HELLUVA STRONG FRAME (ALL the structural welds were intact in spite of a very hard hit) I (4MARIO) was Chief Engineer for Vehicle Safety at Chrysler when they introduced airbags as standard equipment. I've seen hundreds of crash films. Belts are super important to prevent the secondary collision of occupants into whatever is in front of a moving crash victim. These days we presume that we'll be OK in most crashes because airbags yield miraculous protections. However, the belts in our kit cars are the primary occupant safety device. Please use them ALL. I tip my hat to Scott Minehart. I urge you to be careful out there. thx 4MARIO

Congrats, bigdog . . . back to 'The Ring'?

Obama care; the very term is an oxymoron. :rofl:

Did this car used to belong to John .... in the Dallas area?

I used these on the rear of my Birkin: http://www.s-v-c.co.uk/product/mk2-housing---ultrabright-led/ Here is what they looked like: http://www.texasmotorworks7.com/2012-Birkin-Super-Seven-S-3-Arlington-Texas-76012/3371978 Worked Well.

Could be oil seeping past a worn valve stem seal. Just a thought.

Wings Aviation, Welcome aboard! Awesome ride. :seeya:

Yes . . . and your point is . . . ?

:iagree: . . . . . NOT! :jester:

Oscar, If it's front fenders you are wanting for an ultralite, contact WestTexasS2K on this forum (aka Loren Edwards, owner of WCM at (325) 650-7049). X

Mike, Welcome to the madness of 7-mania! :willy_nilly: :ack: :cheers: X

car-part.com. Good web site. Over the years, I've found several parts (including engines and transmissions) using this site. X

Oil pressure; maybe picking up power for the gauge via the tach contact. Just a Stab.

Vinnie, Have you simply tried contacting Emerald? X

With Automoda in this one; the Stslker is the only 'sevenisque' type I know of produced in the lower 48.
