All the ones I have seen have 1 bulb.

drbb,
Very interested in how yours turns out. Your combination is pretty much what I'm considering. Really like the looks of the Pond blocks. Robert Ponds also offers complete engines but I...

Eliminator,
Thanks for your input. I plan on using the car for cruising, Auto-X and maybe track day kind of stuff. I think a 427 C**ra should have a big block and that will help with resale value...

Eddie, thanks for the response. I know a lot of owners have used S/A for their engines. I've tried to read as many posts as possible doing my research. Did you go with a 427? If so, did you use...

Would like some advice/opinions from the experts. I definitely want to go big block and that raises the question, where to go to get it. I know many on this forum have used Southern Automotive but...

I want to visit Unique and the Weavers. I've was initially "bitten" with the Gumball Rally and it never has gone away. I want to pull the trigger on a DPK but want to have the funds to pay for the...

Restoring it was a fun project. I initially ordered parts from a guy in CA but found out he was importing from the UK. So I went directly to the source and saved quite a bit on the cost. I had the...

Fairly new to the forum, not an owner yet but working on it. Diegokid saw my avatar and asked to see some pics. This is a 1972 Norton 750 Commando with the "Combat" engine I restored several years...

Might try Breeze Automotive. They specialize in Factory Five stuff but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Thanks guys. Pictures are worth a thousand words. Very clear from the photos why it needs to be that way.

Frank

Alan,
Thanks for the clarification. I thought it might have to do with the mounting point of the roll bar to the frame. Didn't realize the orginals were like that as well. Thanks for responding....

Bill,
I appreciate the response. Wasn't aware the originals were offset as well. Good to know.

Frank

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I have been reviewing as many previous posts as possible to learn more about the Unique kits. It appears to me the roll bar is not centered behind the...

I will definitely take Mike up on the offer. I appreciate everyomes responses and look forward to learning more.

The correct look is very important to me. That is very attractive part of the Unique car. Also, from what I have read you will not have a better experience from a company than with Unique. Any...

You are correct with the "traditional" look comment. I'm very much that way with things. I have done a lot of research and cataloged a lot of information, mostly FFR stuff based on my previous post....

I have been wanting a C***a since the Gumbball Rally in 1976. I've been saving and researching for quite a while. Pretty much had my mind made up on a Factory Five. Mainly due to the cost, local...
