  1. At this point, im thinking of building a set of stable rolling chassis dollies out if Unistrut, just tall enough for my floor jack.
  2. This is an excellent deal, and I could be there in 2.5 hours. But its not right for me now. I need something i can have the wheels off with. its a bit too large too.
  3. This would make an excellent engine hoist. Thanks
  4. No, I don't have to have cables.
  5. One thing I really don't like about the FIA roll bar, is the FIA roll bar. I mean, for a road car, its a bit bit much, the angle and all. I don't intend to race, and I understand its a valuable thing, with Petty strut and all, but, I would prefer more of a DeDion style. There never were many options for live axles, the dune buggy and the FIA. Its when the metric chassis came that the roll bar options opened up. So what I wish to propose to the forum is 1, a trade for something else, or 2, have welder chop and fab from the FIA? The option I really like is have a jig made and fab up a new bar from scratch. I would have to farm that out to someone I can trust. Any ideas?
  6. I do like the ability to "thumbs up" or apply some other cheeky emoji.
  7. I suppose the benefit of the GPS is no calibration needed? point A to point B in X time = MPH. That sender! omg. but compared to setting up other senders, price for convenience.
  8. Hey, the gear is already out. A totally clean housing that never got dirty. I have all the parts for a cable speedo but the electronic/ GPS options are so clean. Very tempting. VDO had a unit that took several different signal inputs like Hall, optical, etc. I am wanting to try and keep that 90's Caterham style on the instruments.
  9. Thanks Des
  10. Its a new part, I neglected so it got rust on it. Anyone have a Ford part number? none on the item. Box is not Ford.
  11. Im inclined to go that route when I settle on a model . I have all the hardware to make a working cable speedo now. Did you use any speedo blanking plugs? Berring kits has a plug kit but won't sell to USA.
  12. yea, I would be all into the buggies and rails. solid pans are getting scarce.
  13. I have another T9 tail in my box of parts. the previous owner probably did a swap.
  14. 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?
  15. Pics! I want to see this please.
  16. 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
  17. I can't do a 2 post. need a small 2 car garage item
  18. 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.
  19. you know the ones, low profile hydraulic, scissor armatures. Can anyone recommend one?
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
