flexi on rally car

Our 86 rally car has a flexi joint ..

solex ... ? why ..?

I have fitted them many times ... same as normal ...

I wont buy em again though ..
seem weak and easy to twist around to unlock / steal your car ...

get some late model toyota locks ...the ones with really thick keys ..

maybe '90 onwards

I think that they offer more security
