I'am just letting you know what I have. I have 2 new blue shock adjusting nuts,2 nylon ones and 2 of the originals with the set screw. I don't know if this came with all Raco GN or it was a option, but it's their version of a servo saver.It attaches to that front steering block where the tie rods attach .There is a slot that limits left and right travel in case of a accident.I didn't see one in the pics you posted.

Hi, Only one problem.I'am sure I had more blue ones but just have the one. I had it on my SUNOCO 94 GN. I've got black ,red and 1 white. I thought maybe you can dye the white.But you can have the blue one I have. It's used, a little dirty but in great condition. Just needs a wash.This part I don't like .Pricing these parts.I have no idea.Make me a offer.

Here are some pics, The 2 white strips are velcro and they get applied to the upper and lower part of the window inside the body. There is velcro on the window net.As for the servo saver I think you might have to drill in the upper and lower plate to install that post. I don't know if the holes are already there.That black part and bushings are not part of the kit. You use yours.Image.Image.

Hi, Which 3 jam nuts? I have 2 new blue nuts with threads .I have 2 aluminum nuts with no threads and the set screws are missing, but I'll try and find 2. I have 2 of the threaded white nylon jam nuts. There is only 1 blue net or you can have the white one to and maybe try and dye it blue.GNs only had a net in the drivers window only.

and you bought what??? for how much?????

I callled Willmann Racing Products today to see what he could do for more power with my stock g2d motor, he said these are so old and parts are very hard to get for them especially the carb he can not find any. My motor runs but I am thinking of going with a Rc 260, he said I might have to use my isolator block off my old motor to make the newer carb work. Has anyone put a bigger newer motor in a RACO? And if so did you have any issues with the carb?

I am only wondering becuase I plan on slapping my motor on ebay to help fund the new motor but dont want to sell the isolator block if I am going to need it.

I know some collectors are thinking I should keep the original motor with the car but I am not going for original there are enough of those around, I am going custom.

Go to DDM - http://www.davesmotors.com/site/index.html
They still have G2D parts like the isolator block.
