You care enough for your kid's safety to have net on the trampoline, but you risk your life in that contraption!

Yes, swamp. You can add hurricanes to the equation. I doubt a small hole of 1/16" will annoy the tootsies too much. The hole can be a gap in the seal between the lid and housing. And who drives in the rain? Mike, with as much seat time as you have, You've probably had plenty of wet track days. Also, the mid-90s were not great powder coated frames.

Perhaps not much of an issue on a driven car that gets plenty of air flow, but if sitting for months & years as these 7s eventually tend to do, any warm air trapped under a lid with cool air above will condensate, or the opposite? Regardless, yes a vent hole to allow the air between the footwell and above it to equalize will abate the moisture trap. Pedal box frame rust has happened to me so I warn others. I keep a floor fan moving air under my cat constantly in the garage and I run a dehumidifier when it gets icky. Overkill? Yep. 7s are overkill.

They're very low profile now with the reservoirs remote mounted. Note this box can be a moisture trap and rust the frame there. Add a little vent hole on top.

Link?

32/36 carb plate?

Points for verbiage

Got these. Thanks, Wayne Delete this.

Lovely Crossflow

back when I was riding my Harley, in 2013-14, I found I often had to be aware of residual fuel in the nozzle that would spill on my fuel tank. That lovely paint! So I developed the habit of placing a gas towel over the area. Back then, it was a problem. Maybe not so much now? If fuel recovery is anything like the freon recovery regulations... And, for those who spill gas on paint...JUST LET IT DRY, DON'T WIPE IT!

Yes, this exactly. A more complicated issue for FI, but not impossible to overcome. I have already obtained the correct fuel rated hose and cut to length. But I think it's very heavy and the thickness gives me some doubt to the clamping ability. I am looking for alloy or steel pipe than can be necked down or beaded to fit inside the tank neck, then clamped on the outside. The benefit of all this is to be able to see, or hear or dipstick the fuel level as you fill. As for the hole left behind, put a dummy filer cap there.

I've mentioned my intentions elsewhere, but I suppose the question can be put here... Can the filler be adapted to a vertical neck just under the boot cover? I suppose all the return and vent lines can be incorporated into a vertical solution?

This is fun as you're acknowledging the crowd of admirers oogling you

This happens all over , especially on the wiring connections. Unavoidable. Only thing to do replace the fluids and rubber hoses and inspect the parts regularly, like every three years. Not every 20 years. Its those 20 years guys that have the big problems. The best solution foe galvanic issues is to use a battery disconnect. Also ensure grounds are cleaned annually. Ensure the engine head is grounded. Many things corrode because there is insufficient grounding elsewhere.

Whoa! Ventilated diskies! I likey! Hey, wheres the pedal box and master cylinders? Cat has been up to something...what kind of pedal adjustment do we have?

I would do brass barb fittings. The rule for 7s is everything shakes loose. Or something vibrates and cuts into something. The part may say " for Automotive use". This means it's resistance to heat, fluids and maybe oils, are within typical automotive variables. But 7s are outside of those parameters. I would avoid plastic if possible. Double clamp but don't double the clamping force. Ensure the hoses are tolerant of the coolant used. Test the pressure cap before relying on it. Assume nothing.

How consistent has Cat been with the radiator mount spacing over the range of models and years, such as these are spaced? Or are they exclusively a crossflow/Ford engine fittting?

Been thinking about sky diving helmets. Or other minimalist wind ans rock protection. Must be able to drive if the wind screen gets blown out.

Ser Craig Eubanks at Speedstar in Pasadena. He's race prep shop that has plenty of 7s use his services.

Bump...
