  1. standard Kent engine crank should not exceed 7K RPM. Yes, I would put on a rev limiter.
  2. remembering other posts about glass shops, apparently the 7 glass is a non standard thickness. some glass shops have been able to get it, some not. YMMV Yes, I have plans for my aeros. When I paint the 7 RAF green in Sopwith Camel livery, with a faux Vickers gun on the scuttle. I will use the aeros for that. When im old and batty enough to go through with it.
  3. Who would be interested in a Gorilla glass group buy?
  4. how high? is it right in your face?
  5. Ive been saving all year
  6. Ok, Did Farley have an opinion about the 1700 treatment? I could try the 1300 pistons and 234 cam. which might even out to 1600 with the deeper pockets required. I do wish the forum had dedicated sub fourms for the various engines. All the Xflow stuff could be in one place, if posters will put it there. But reality is the mods end up having to move discussions around too much to keep it organized. We could be self policing.
  7. since there is no particular point to this thread, I'll ask here.. Should I seriously consider a 1700 conversion? AX block.
  8. Mechanical fuel pump from Pegasus. these carbs REQUIRE under 4 PSI. An electric pump can be used as a primer. If you choose an electric pump as the only pump, use a regulator as well regardless of what the pump flow is rated at. The mechanicals reliably feed ennough fuel at correct pressure at all engine speeds. Everything shakes loose on 7s so leave plenty of hose slack. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=31616 https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=82
  9. Is a steering wheel diameter measured from the outer edge or the center of the rim?
  10. Yes, to buy a Cat bonnet or DIY, thats the question. I figure with a press break and a louver punch, I could go into business.
  11. I did a wheel removal like this https://usa7s.net/ips/topic/14316-steering-wheel-removal-splined-shaft/#comment-134404
  12. Moss has been listing T9 conversions for brit cars. they must have a source https://mossmotors.com/440-187-spt-cp-conversion-kit-5-speed-gearbox
  13. Clutch plates can stick together from sitting. I would pull it apart. On the shoes, wrestling shoes are thin too. I don't know how thin the soles are, but worth at look.
  14. Lucky feller, you got the uprated top link.
  15. Did you out corner the GT-40?
  16. Im thinking of doing this with a T9. Any complications?
  17. Those BDR seats are much taller than the old bench squabs. I can do a side x side picture in a little while. Those BDR seats should be on sliding rails, adding another inch. It may be possible to fasten without the rails? It could be argued that the height is close in the very rear. But I suspect the BDRs bucket form, not made for adults, will push a person up higher than a flat squab. This velour BDR seat with rails is 22 Lbs.
  18. Lucky. Previous owner already did the scuttle rivet to rivnuts swap. Makes for easy removal.
  19. I remember when Pegasus had a sale on these. Shipping included.
  20. I edited my OP to "Kent V. 2.0" Not 2ltr, but version 2.0 of the 1600, which had/has numerous improvements
