Re: Day 2 Vega
I look at it like this, If you are building a MOTION tribute Vega or you are a MOTION fan any part that is authentic is cool to have.

Re: Day 2 Vega
Wow, where would you ever find a set otherwise? Vintage BBC Vega stuff is already very tough to find. Its even hard to find the vintage SBC stuff as well.

Re: Day 2 Vega
Still working on the headers.
Installed the 12 bolt tonight. I love orange and chrome together!

Re: Day 2 Vega
If you look at the Marty Schorr book on building the big block Vega, those are the same designed headers in the car.
I guess I could ask him to have them verified, but then I couldn't afford to pay for them...lol Now there is a new idea....Have a company that verifies Day 2 parts...lol

Re: Day 2 Vega
I'll do that. For a small fee of course. 4% of the "agreed upon" value of the part. I'll even send a certificate of authenticity!

Re: Day 2 Vega
About 20 years ago, I purchased the 12 bolt rear axle out of a Motion Vega station wagon being parted out. I can still recall giving $150 dollars for the rear axle at night time while looking at the rusty shell of the wagon sitting on its belly behind a mobile, uh . . . . I mean a skirted home. Anyway, it was a pretty cool piece with a 4-series carrier, GM 4.56 gear set, a C-clip eliminator kit that used GM Olds or Pontiac retainers and big car 11-inch brake drums. I also remember it being strange in the fact that it was a 1972 casting date, leaf spring housing. I know that Chevrolet wasn't putting 12 bolts in leaf spring Camaros/Novas in 1972 so I assumed it was an over-the-counter housing that Motion used as a starting point. I even tried for several months to find a decent Vega to stick it in, but even 20 years ago they were getting hard to find. It's hard to tell in your pics, but does your 12 bolt have the 11-inch brakes?

Re: Day 2 Vega
Yes,they are the 11" for a Ford 9" from Strange Engineering. I forgot my camara and used my daugthers I-phone for the pictures. Tried to edit, but I can't make them any bigger.
