Burton Power lists two. https://www.burtonpower.com/steel-crank-77-65mm-x-f-rwd-std-journal-en40b-6-bolt-fp324w-77-65.html https://www.burtonpower.com/steel-crank-77-65mm-x-flow-rwd-narrow-jour-en40b-12-bolt-arrowc139.html

Agree with John. I have Schroth 6 point drivers side, and the ASM for the passenger. They both are pull-up for the lap belts.

I do! Ford part 79IF-6K614-AA Hmmmm. I just googled the part number, and I think they modified the original part. I didn’t take a pic from the side, but it’s essentially the same as the yellow one you posted. They must have split the part and gotten rid of all the stuff on the bottom. Not what I expected!

I don’t, but will see if there are any numbers on it over the weekend.

As soon as I actually see some oil in the can, I’ll change the orientation. But essentially nothing there in 10 years, including track days.

My Crossflow spit out oil like crazy when I bought it. There was a hose from the crankcase fitting (no PCV) to the catch can, and a hose from the cap to the catch can. The catch can was, and still is, a second windshield washer fluid container with two holes drilled in the side. I had to empty the catch can, and add oil, after every session of a track day. I eliminated most of the oil venting by implementing the Roger King (of Blatchat fame) venting solution. I added a hose fitting in the middle of the side of the valve cover, and another at the rear corner. The crankcase hose was then routed to the middle of the valve cover, and the corner valve cover fitting to the catch can. Huge difference in what was landing in the catch can. I ultimately had the engine rebuilt, and I’m not sure if there has been any oil in the catch can since.

I used Transport to ship my Seven from RMSCI in Denver to St. Louis 20 years ago (!!!). At the time the were based in St. Louis, I believe. Looking at their website, they were purchased by FedEx in 2010, bad subsequently went back to being privately owned. They are based in Lebanon MO. I had a great experience with them.

CAD = Cardboard Aided Design? 😊😊

S3 Chassis w/ lowered floors Vs SV Chassis "try on"/Sit in.

IMHO, it’s not really about the size of the pedal box. Let’s face it, it’s small whether it’s an S3 or SV. But regardless of which you choose, both feet will fit side by side.😊 What it’s really about is the distance between the pedals, right? The width of the pedal box impacts that, but the question is more how much farther apart are the pedals in an SV. And, does it matter? Personally, I think as long as you wear appropriate shoes (ie narrow sole) you would be fine in an S3, at least in terms of the pedals. I wear a 10.5, and have no problems. But wear narrow sole shoes. The seat space and driving position may be more of an issue. I’m 5’10” and 170, and an SV feels huge to me. But that’s why you want to sit in them.😊 -
Well, I was on the right track at least. I purchased a self leveling laser level, but it’s not 360 degrees. I could probably use the one I purchased, but it would make the process more complicated. Probably best to bite the bullet and buy a 360.

Great thread as I’m about do an alignment for the first time after replacing the lower wishbones on my Mallock. I’ve done a fair amount of research on the process, and using floor tiles to level the car is frequently referenced. What I haven’t found an explanation for is the process to establish four level spots on the floor. And if only a few tiles are needed, assume you’re able to roll the car onto them? Having the car settled on the suspension also seems to be an important element. And thought I’d include a pic of the reason for the new wishbones.

Always enjoyed his posts and comments. I thought he had a build thread here, but haven’t found it. I remember reading of the various challenges he had getting the Miata engine!transmission into his Seven.

So, tell us a little about yourselves

@44 AND COUNTING Is that an aluminum nose cone on your Seven? There was a great multi-part write up on BAT on bringing an SM back to life. I found it an entertaining read, and gave me some understanding of the incredible complexity of those cars.
