I can't find the vendor who makes the trunk drop kit. That is the kit to reclaim the space below the trunk floor and the gas tank top. Anybody know who that might be?

Thanks
Bob

Russ Thompson makes them, norcal-cobras.com. They don't show up on his web site, but if you call him he can get one out to you. Great guy!

I just installed Russ's kit this week and recommend it. There are a few pics in the last few posts of my build thread if interested (link in my signature).

John did a great job making his own (as shown on the other forum (https://www.ffcars.com/threads/phileas_foggs-mk-4-roadster-build.508121/post-5084425)) with his Photos showing the Alum (https://www.flickr.com/photos/91016165@N07/with/36217571431/)

Drop the trunk. One of my best mods. No cover on mine and it's just fine that way.

You can see that I am using the ffmetal battery box and I also used a variation of the Kleiner body/bumper mount.

BEAUTIFUL! This trunk looks so nice. I like the combo drop trunk and FFmetal battery box with access leads available. What's the red button on the driver's side?

The red button looks like a quick release fire extinguisher mount. Do I win a prize?

I did my own on a completed car. All it takes is a HF 30" metal brake. Mine looks pretty much like rsw81s except I also carpeted the cross braces. I don't have remote battery terminals, just an access panels. Mine mostly gets a cooler and helmet (that is why I carpeted the braces) when I head to autocross or the track. I agree, one of the best mods you can do.
