Thanks for all the good info Dan. I need to take my interior out anyway to do the rear pinion seal, so I will be doing it very soon.
I actually have the speed bleeders somewhere. I had bought them online for my old Cobra and never installed them because I sold the car. I originally liked the idea but then I heard about the sealent on the threads leaking air. I actually called Speedbleeders and they told me they should be removed every ten uses and re-coated with some sealant(I forgot the name).
I spoke with ERA and Doug confirmed this tire rubbing is pretty common on these cars because of the way some of the workers placement of the panel(FG) in the mold or after the mold. He suggested making a bump stop on the steering linkage. He also recommended not doing the screen on my car. He said the engine compartment would get much dirtier very quickly! Between that and the heat screens being in the way, I think I am going to pass on the vent install. I just loved the way it looked and that was my main reason for wanting to install it.
Now I need to sell the kit...LOL. I believed I paid 200.00 for it too!
