Well deserved, I followed the progress of your car from beginning to end with great interest. You are the standard or top reference when it comes to pagoda restauration.

Sead, It is great to read the we have still in this world another mechanic that knows Pagodas. Those mechanics are getting fewer and fewer. Wonderful read and great job you did with your Pagoda.

Stead good to see you on here. One of the photo in the article shows a dissembled brake booster ,do you have a source for diaphrams that you are willing to share?I need one for my "250" Also do you use any special tools to open up the brake booster canister? Good luck with the new restoration
