  1. Hello Peter,

    Thank you agaqin for all the time and effort you put into sharing your project. I would like to contact you more directly. Our current restoration is of an european 280 sl from 1985. I would also like to convert the mechanical CIS to electronic. So I have been reading your posts with great interest and appreciation. If this message gets to you, please send me an e-mail at osprey2014@juno.com.

    Thanks,
    John

  2. What brand are those LED's that you're converting your dash illumination with?

    Regarding the MegaSquirt conversion, congratulations on a timely and cleanly executed job!
    Mine has been dragging on for a few years now...
