Then I was thinking twin engine. Soooooo I'm not sure yet. Nitrous bottle, maybe lol Cage or harness probably not. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was under the assumption it was a set screw. Mine doesnt have a set screw. So must be a plug? I assume I drill that out and tap to replace with set screw?
