Default Handle

Hi Guys....I guess once your car is built you don't look back. To a certain extent that applies to all of us.
I am thankful there are those who do like to help the guys still in midstep here....
Many of the actual builders and wrenchers ( AKA known as of late as "real car guys"...LOL)
Putnam, DoubleVenom, George Anderson, Richard from JBL.. are just to name a few who have been a big help to me.

As I have said in the past, I have yet to receive a build manual with my 85% completed car. My builder thought I wouldn't be needing it and he wasn't finished writing it up anyhow. So this site and its many frequent flyers have been a godsend and watershed of helpful info.

Having said that, you will see the majority of my posts are on the shoptalk site. Hopefully I can and will give back once I have done this journey.

Ken, my thoughts were to stay on the passenger side inner tunnel rail, where they originate as well. It seems easier and stronger to attach the beast there as well as thats my biggest metal (box tube).
I also seem to have more room there. Going to the left could be a squeeze.

DV thanks for the tip, I was sure we could acquire cables from the auto jobber that would work just as well. Both Lokar and Gennie sell their cables at the same price as the handles if not more.

Anyone else want to chime in and fesssss up to what length handle they are using?? 11" or 16" What is the Jag XKE measured at? Bob??

Thanks in advance

Tim
