  1. If you find a source for flat finger 190 covers in the states, please let me know. I'm wanting to stay with cable for now. Racer Walsh are all Pinto now but they used to support 1600. They know the parts. Ken at Dave Bean knows a lot too.
  2. With a concentric slave you should be using a flat finger with round face bearing. Can get the clutch cover from Pegasus now. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=3558 No curly finger 190s anywhere. Might be easier to go to a 8". Not sure if you can keep the same ring gear and starter. I've read you can. You will have to find out. Or switch to a release that is compatible with a flat finger cover, what the Formula Ford guys are using? They use Hewland transmissions, nor sure if the spacing are the same. Surface and balance the FW. Get the 190 1x27 disc from Burton. If not Burton pm me, I have one.
  3. Add a voltage regulator??
  4. And looking good. On this car, can someone ID this regulator?
  5. I will have the filler neck, please. PM
  6. Donna Mae has been teasing the sales of her 7s for few months. It probably took her a while to settle on which one of the three to let go. Keeping the Coventry S1, I believe.

  8. See PM. A fellow in NY has lots of engine parts to unload.
  9. Is that a Corvette diff?
  10. You should have two pedal axis positions, an inch apart. may require shortening the clutch and brake cylinder push rods https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=3554
  11. See: These guys moulds may be for narrow width. Have to ask. Best bet is get everything from redline in one crate.
  12. Crap. These are small cars. Being below most windows you are less visible than a motorcycle, it seems.
  13. @Cranky how is your current wheel, shifter reach and instrument view? If the pedals could be moved back as far as you need, could you drive from the current position?
  14. Prayers for your friends recovery... Fuel vapor: this is partially why a carbuerated engine is hard to start, no vapor. There isn't enough heat to produce vapor
  15. This got my interest. It's 15" wide and about the right back angle. Could it work? Tempted to be the guinea pig... Here you go. Pushed back Pushed back with the seat flat on the floor Skid forward with back Flush on the wall Verdict? No, this seat sits way too high. More importantly, it has no support inside. It's basically hollow. It could work in a pinch as a test run seat, but I doubt anyone could stand it for continuous use. Not safe. Made for lazy video gaming spoiled brats. Going to the donation store.
  16. What a squeeze! Good buy. These cars tend to sit for years so change out the coolant with the same type, flush brakes, engine oil, etc. Wheel bearing grease, upright turnion oil (if Spitfire parts). Throttle cable check. A frame bushes. Clean all earths. Steering rack grease if you're feeling adventurous. 30 yo car...do it.
  17. Glorious flared awesomeness!
  18. I believe a golf cart is more appropriate on Kaua'i
  19. Taking wifey there in July. It would be nice to show her a 7.
  20. Replace. What are the lengths and diameters?
  21. You should see the rest of the car! That crimped lever end wasn't my doing. I do plan to clean it up with the proper clip. Those DCOEs aren't on the car anymore. Next carb will probably be a DG.
  22. We can't really know you from the other side of a keyboard. We just try, that's all.
  23. The armature is actually bent around the shaft with a papers width clearance. My pedal is stiff, and I thought was rubbing, but it's in the axis.
