The result here is that you have what appears to be a period correct motor, but with the advances of the FK series motors. There is a line of stupidity that can be crossed when restoring a period car to just play with, where you build a motor too hot to enjoy driving. This method stays short of that line, while being easy to build. I like it, and intend to try this myself. I like to run my old cars, but I don't want to fight with them.

Was kind of a toss up of what to do for me. I had perfectly working Hong Kong EBD motors in these cars that I don’t have to worry about and they work fine but are boring. all these hot arms and motor parts I have aren’t doing any good in a parts bin! and yes I drive all my vintage cars so I need the good brakes. biggest issue with this mod is you have Irreversible changes to can to make it work.
