I have many parts off. Power steering I know is probably the worst drag I have that I don't want to part with. The 68 is a little lighter than most c3's I think. It is a convertible with an M22 4 speed, 468 tripower w/aluminum heads. It has right at 500 rwhp on a cool day.
I like the brake caliper and rotor idea. I need to check my battery. How much weight does the aluminum radiator save?

The bell is one of those things you have to "weigh" in more than one sense. Sure wish there were an SFI piece that wasn't 40 odd pounds. The blanket route is a light weight option, but I figure it's likely become a mess on the street.
