MBA Cap Cover Question To those who have MBA cap covers...
Is there a specific cap for the clutch fluid reservoir, or do they use the radiator reservoir cover for it? The reason I ask is that I just went to put my new covers on and I noticed that the bag said "clutch res. cover", but "rad res" is stamped on the inside of it...so, basically, do I have two radiator reservoir covers mistakenly or correctly?
Thanks...

Just go visit their site and hear it from the horses mouth - MBA went out of business and has closed down the shop.
Probably had something to do with the high cost of their parts - don't get me wrong, I have every one of their caps for my WS6 (bought them as polished version but ended up having them chromed to cut down on maintenance) they were all very nice, but there are a lot of people out there that don't have that kind of money to waste on decorative caps
LawmanSS-
I thought I might see you at the show in Beaver this past Saturday? One of the best shows I've been to - between 2000 & 3000 cars
Any chance you'll be able to come down to Norwin Hills 3WS Cruise -a -Palooza this Saturday? Starts @ 3PM but we'll be there @ noon to lock down our favorite spots.
Let me know...

Although, a couple of pics would be cool...maybe an overall shot and an engine bay shot!
I shoot you a PM...I need to finish my endless detail session (Menzerna, Souveran) and take some good shots of the SS...we can trade! 2000blackta-
My buddy and I (he has a 02 CE TA) go to shows from Latrobe to out by Pittsburgh airport all season long, but we do concentrate in the Gbg, Mt. Pleasant, Murrysville/Monroeville area. I have been to (2) shows in Mt. Pleasant so far this year. We also hit the Summit Racing Nationals Show in Ohio & plan to go to the Pontiac Nats. I didn't know there was an upcoming show in Frick Park - shoot me the details if ya have them. Like I said, we'll all be at Norwin Hills for the Cruise-a-Palooza this Saturday 8/13 from noon on. They always have about 400 or so cars there on the usual Saturday night cruises starting @6PM - for this show there should be around 1000
If you stop down - look me up. I'll be parked with a CE, yellow Mustang, & 79 T/A. BTW- I love the wheels on your car in the sig - I had a choice of those or the TTII and went with the polished TTII's. I usually regret this choice every week while I'm polishing the wheels.

I'll see what I can do about getting some lower res pics to send over...

. But there is another pretty big show this Sunday at Cedar Creek Park in Rostraver if you are able to attend (noon start). They usually get a fair gathering.Thank you for the compliment on the wheels. As soon as i saw them, I imediatley fell in love. I was actually torn between mine and the TTII's as well. As far as the two wheel choices, I don't think that you could go wrong either way as they are both very nice.
Too bad you can't make it - I won't be able to make the show @ Cedar Creek (or is it crick - PA lingo ) I'll be @ Kennywood for my wife's work picnic. I was at the show the past two years though.
Yeah, I've won quite a few trophies with my T/A, which makes me feel good that other people appreciate all the time/$$ I've put into it (over $32K above the $27K original cost of the car at last check of receipts). I tried to keep a balance between both the 'show' and 'go' attributes of the car. Actually I've just about run out of stuff to do to it - allthough I've been thinking about adding a remote DVD/TV Tuner with multiple screens just for the car show circuit.
