Craig - old listing, and it’s an entire engine, but just came across this:

I have the Schroth 6 point for me, and ASM for the passenger. Consider it the best of both worlds, as passengers (not that I have that many) can be mystified by a 6 point. At on point (sometime in the 90’s) Caterham had two tabs behind the seat that could be used for the sub straps. My 1998 does not have them, so ended up doubling the sub and lap belts. And I also just sit on the sub straps.

Mas du Clos looks beautiful! Like a track in the middle of a manicured park.

Looks like (as usual) a great time! The last 3-4 years the date for this event has conflicted with a race weekend for me. Hoping that my schedule aligns next year, and I can make the haul to NJ! Steve

I use the SFI dual durometer on my Caterham when I track it. With my helmet on, the headrest pushes my head forward awkwardly. So, I remove the headrest and attach the foam with zip ties. No foam when not on the track.

TBH, this is my first foray into doing my own alignment, so I have no comparison product or experience. But once I figured out how to arrange it on the Mallock, I thought it worked well. With the live axle, I only had to align the front. I used two garbage bags under the front tires to make the adjustments easy, and that also worked well. It’s made for 3/4” pipe, but I went cheap and used 1/2”, which I’d read also worked fine. And it did, although I may yet “upgrade” to 3/4”. Not a huge investment, and overall I’m pleased and satisfied.

I purchased this kit a few months ago, and just used it to do an alignment on my Mallock. A bit fiddly, and I had to get a bit creative to hang it on the Mallock, but it worked. https://calipergarage.com

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 periodically look for one of these: https://everywatch.com/sinn/watch-9991574

For those reading along, or curious, here is what the part looks like:

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.
