  2. I definitely support any unloading option thst doesn’t involve a forklift. Accidents. Bad word. Oops. Another bad word. Oh, Sh!t! Two bad words. I have seen plenty of accidents. Load that stuff in a large moving truck with a hydraulic lift on the tail. It can handle the engie. Every thing else can be unpacked in the truck box and walked off. If the crates are staged in a reasonable order, the chassis will be last and the wood can be cast to the front. Then all wood can be hauled off. Or made into cool man cave beer tables.
  3. I recommend the AllStar chassis dollies. I cut one in half and widened it 6" by inserting a 1.25" square tube. This is MSRP. Can find for less at Jegs and Summit. Buy one little thing and wait for the *% off coupon. Just get the seller to admit if the distributor has them in stock or if it's a drop ship from China. I'd pay more for any in stock. These will give you the height you need for the drop-in angle, and to crawl underneath to feed the propshaft, etc. Just pad the bars with cardboard so paint doesn't get scratched
  4. West Branch. Excellent, you can borrow my gantry crane for your engine install.
  5. Are all those wacks on the wall Wyobi?
  6. Not even if using a Pinto bell housing? I have one. Starter position 4 o'clock.
  7. An exhaust leak can allow oxygen to be pulled up into the hot spots and detonate.
  8. I have the deflectors. They don't do enough in my experience. They get in the way. My solution is to dress for the wind and sun. Long sleeves, vest, head cover, ear plugs, cords for my glasses. Pretty much what I would wear for a cycle ride, from the waist up. I think it's a lot easier to do this than re-engineer the car. I have wondered if creating a forward facing edge extending from the wind screen edge would create a spoiler effect?
  9. It's better to post a description of an item and let someone search for it. Months weeks, days from now, the link to the seller may not be valid. Or could be an impersonation scam.
  10. Oh sweet jeezus
  11. Damn, your car is nice, bro. I'm thinking of painting my alu. It would have to be a a colour easily touched up and available, like a long running rattle can colour.
  12. I'm thinking the same. I watched a half pound steel shard get kicked up, fly over several cars, and strike my truck hood, a few feet in front of me. Got it on dash cam too. Even with a wind screen, I would want some eye protection in case it got shattered and I had to punch it out to see. I know, it's a 7, whatever. Eye safety. The thing I remember the most, when I was driving, was how the top of my head was getting beaten up. I started wearing a welders bandanna. Hats didn't stay on too well.
  13. This is the golden boy, AX block. Very valuable. Get a head with it?
  14. I think the issue is that Burton said the filter orientation was more or less vertical, even gave a diagram. This would be incorrect, as the filter location is obstructing the engine mount. I wonder how this went wrong.
  15. I've been looking at helmet options. Not for protection, just for wind. I'm thinking some of the newer sky diving helmets are close to what I'm looking for. Just not sure how silly I'd look in it. But then, I'm in a ridiculous car anyways.
  16. Burton guys...
  17. @32eachtime you still haven't shown us a complete URL. On your phone, turn it horizontal to take the screenshot and get more of the URL. You can copy and paste it into the text here like this, after adding quotes to it: "https://usa7s.net/ips/topic/15036-caterham-parts/#comment-143881" Horizontal shot: Vertical shot: I am in agreement with you, you were likely taken by an imposter. Caterham parts doesn’t deserve the bash it's getting on this thread, especially since we don't have a URL to judge! And, so I'm at least somewhat helpful, now I know what you ordered, I have a plate light I'll give you, the black plastic housing type. PM me and I'll get you pics. I'll hook you up.
  18. Put some straps on them and call them baby seats. I think there is a reduced rate for those.
  19. @CarlB did you see any part numbers on the BH?
  20. Well, Going through my parts, I found a 2.0 Pinto flywheel and a 1x23 green spring Pinto disc. Now I am wondering, for my T9 conversion, If I should go all the way with a Pinto pressure plate and starter? Staying 100Hp and possibly lower with the Xflow. I also have 1x23 Xflow 7.5" discs.
  21. Suspecting that voltage fluctuations may be a cause of false readings, Has anyone tried running the oil pressure circuit off the battery, out of the loom?
  22. Have an oil catch can going from the case breather. Fill ultil the excess blow out. It's normal to have some discharge on every run. Top off when you don't get discharge. Crude, yes. But a good visual to know it's full
  23. All good advice. The scammers/thieves are very clever. A goid practice to follow is if someone contacts you claiming to be from a business, or government, or anyone requesting money or personal information, Always question it. Do checks to see if they are legitimate, imposters, scams, etc. Ask close family for their opinion. I have a close family member who was taken for thousands over months. All she had to do was let someone know ir was happening. She isn't a dumb person, the scamming was very through. At her age, the financial loss, and unfortunately the loss of confidence in her reasoning, is, unfortunate. All she had to do was question it.
