356 Z-bar Help

I'm converting my 356A Coupe from Vintage racing trim back to street/autocross/driver school duty. I found my old H&H Z-bar in the rafters (yes, I'm a pack rat) but it's missing a few parts -- cross-braces and drop-link clamps. I've heard that H&H is out of business but that Lee Houseman is still available to help. Can anybody supply his contact info? TY!

I would contact some like Vic Skirmants at 356 Enterprise or Mark at Ecurie. These guys are still racing these cars and have many spares. Carquip would be another option.

Thanks Matt, but I bought the car FROM Vic as a Vintage racecar, i.e., with a camber compensator, not a Z-bar -- it's not legal for Vintage racing. Since posting I've figured out what's missing and think I can fab what's missing from simple 5/16"x1-1/2" stock and firing up my Mig welder. I was just lazy and hoping Lee H. was still around and had a few leftover pieces.

I was suggesting that a race shop like that might have one sitting around not being used, because of rules.

Again thanks. That's how I got (back) the coil over setup Vic put on this same car back in 1985. I can make this work.

You're welcome. Always trying to help. Would love to see some more car pictures. Even with the crazy pricing I still dream of having one in the garage one day.
