I think it would be a good idea to make a couple and see how the demand is. https://sovietsteeds.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=38042&p=479525&hilit=brake+li...

Suggestion.....

Bump idle jets up to 42 and mains up to 125.

Welcome!!!!

When I lived on dirt and gravel roads as a kid, the county came by and oiled the roads with used oil in the summer.
