this is a CRB for a Ford Merkur or 2000, whatever.. Supposed to be the thing for the T-9. It appears the inner sleeve is off center. Yes, there is rust, but otherwise, is this CRB usable?

Pics! I want to see this please.

I was wondering about those Scissor lifts.. the stuff in the middle negates the purpose of it. If it had enough room for engine and axle access, it would be enough

I can't do a 2 post. need a small 2 car garage item

It would be the Elio Motors, Which may not happen at all. then Polaris Slingshot body kit related. ugly. Always thought Id default to TR250/6. -
you know the ones, low profile hydraulic, scissor armatures. Can anyone recommend one?

Sirs, Regarding this angle drive: What is the top screw for? What is best lubrication? What tooth count drive gear to use with a 3.6 diff on 23" tyres? Speedo VDO unknown calibration. Are Escort transmission drive gears interchangeable with T-9? Thanks

This is getting more interesting. looking at my tail, it looks like my forward boss is for a switch, yet the rear boss is empty without anything behind it.

How to heat a 7 cockpit / seating ?
IamScotticus replied to Lightguy's topic in General Sevens Discussion
Hi. The last time I hit cold I noticed the foot well and transmission tunnel was plenty warm, as normal, but there is no way a heater blower could warm the open air. I would recommend gloves and a helmet or some head wrap and an insulated coat. I also remember the beating the top of my head was taking from the buffeting. I started wearing a welders bandana to keep what's left of my hair in place. This is open cockpit flying, on the road. -
Ride quality??? LMAO naw, man. you're in the USA where things called speed bumps exist. Your concern is grounding. I run on 185 / 70 R13 ,20psi with soft suspension. If you live in an area with really nice smooth roads, you can set up more sporty.

I have a few Webber DCOE 151 Qs for yall: I got a Webcon Webber top mount throttle cable contraption. Can someone put up pic of their linkage assembly? I got new everything for mounting except Thackeray washers. Do I need them? Burtons DCOE rebuild kit they describe as being for 40, 45, etc. But the kit package states its only for 45s. Is this still usable to service 40s? Thanks

If Im lucky, the vertical face will blank off much of that. Creativity will do the rest. BTW, What goes here?

I too have concerns of the rear cam fasteners popping open from an impact. I am looking for similar types that are locking yet low profile and stainless.

Who is this? Garage ghost?

Rob, learn more about 7s before any lofty dreams of high horsepower. Step 1 is return to a runner with same plant. You will find <200hp is plenty for this light a car. If you start a new project having to re-engineer everything, it will languish for years and no cost benefit. I would take the car to a caterham specialist or engine/race prep specialist to evaluate the state of things. Especially the transmission. You can get a replacement frame from Arch. Those are "Prisoner" wheels.

They don't neglect the oil, The oil instructions follow the "tank" instructions. The oil instruction is to put the whole 16oz bottle in 4.5 qt oil. Perhaps the product has the qualities of oil with some ZDDP in it. It is Lucas... Very sloppy instructions over all.
-
Has anyone fitted this to a V6 T-9? one one of the sellers websites there is a caution that it isn't compatible. I wrote to inquire on the particulars. The reply was that the seller didn't know, it was something a customer told him.
-
reading the Lucas label, its says to add some to the "tank" with each fill up. Assuming they refer to the fuel tank, does this ZDDP perform the function of a lead substitute?
-
Fun build. Nice trans tunnel insulation! If it were my build, I wouldn't have installed the heater. Sevens are usually hot enough. I have my doubts that those jack stands are tall enough for the engine install??? I second the tip about waiting to install the radiator till after the engine is in place. Install a master battery cut off switch and crash/inertia fuel cut-off switch
-
Who uses this stuff? XFlows only? The Lucas additive says to add the whole 16 Oz bottle to 4.5 qts of oil. Really? Does this seem high?

I found a Formula Ford race prep garage in Tx through Ken at Dave Bean I would have never found on my own. He should know the shops in the area. Possibly Pegasus too.

I think will watch this every day
