  1. "Ford 9 inch" is a reference to the ring gear diameter WAY too much iron for a 7
  2. I hope you get a kiss with this LOL
  3. If you are looking to run it this year, a pre built one is probably the only option. Last time I had a cell made-a couple of years ago- it was 3 or 4 months wait, and that was over the winter....I dealt with Pyrotect, very nice and savvy folks 541-504-0340 They could take your existing tank and build a bladder inside it ATL/Fuelsafe seemed to be less interested in custom work, price was higher Eagle (my first choice) told me they aren't doing automotive any more---way behind on aircraft orders
  4. Another source might be "Damperman" on the WSCC forum he works at Spax, and supplies a lot of the Westy folks
  5. this is one option https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=779 I have Terry springs on mine
  6. that brake light switch is like 60s+70s MGs Healeys etc a lot of westy owners wire in a pedal switch in parallel, gets lights on sooner the pedal switch acts first pressure one is backup I'd extend that exhaust back to lessen hearing loss

  8. Now you have another puzzle What gearboxes fit those propshafts? hopefully, you can get a new yoke for whichever one you use, those are nasty
  9. My initial take was that this affected China only
  10. I wonder how much it warped
  11. maybe you can make this work listed for a Datsun 240z https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway-Reusable-Air-Filter-15x2-Oval,351226.html?utm_medium=CSEGoogle&utm_source=CSE&utm_campaign=CSEGOOGLE&store_code=SMI-LNK&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkJO8BhCGARIsAMkswyi6uQI2pBTFaHy41ikQZ2wpJQ0-TNLr6oQdPA3HDehk-UInQOpxpjQaAgVkEALw_wcB
  12. AFAIK they take the 2.25" bolt spacing of Girling, Lockheed, Tilton, Wilwood
  13. My Royale FSV had one of these brackets for the brake pedal, fitted with a balance bar. Clutch MC was on a separate fabbed bracket A fair number of formula cars used them in the day
  14. Croc....funny you mention the HVAC blower in a Volvo 240 A friend used to have a shop with a fair sized Volvo clientele he said the first thing you do for that job is remove the back seat, so you have a place to put all the S**t from the dash LOL I think they hung the blower on a string and built the car around it
  15. Pat retired several years ago
  16. I'd def have it tapped before building an engine If not used, a plug is cheap teardown for doing it later ain't
  17. The foam is probably pretty tired, anyway, so who cares.... I'm thinking of doing mine, looking for some stiffer foam than original
  18. Easiest way is probably one of those rotating laser levels https://www.ebay.com/itm/356310236044?_skw=laser+level+360&itmmeta=01JDYTT6NSJ0C5DVGQK0GPHC6B&hash=item52f5bebb8c:g:JCoAAOSwGmRnLeN4&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKnl7%2BzhxQry%2FmBDf95E71tCrldl20fhl1LM4%2Fm0ga5Jti99SCfX15hQKrMmEyKREZmdQSkfyXnpO9UmzA0Ixmih3n4w8FVZ1wEgOiXp1kTpFYerlgqHR%2BI9NAqLhT7xZNCf5D1NUz4xDkrfMl7z2EngCHuB4Hr0kA3amIjbbda0f3nYu%2FpCAEzBEH1vRWBNp5aCzs9wSuDL1skBXBvRNaGu8kBtDB3ZlnDs5KvvrYd61qwZ9pkDVVRA7dsjY%2B%2Frzcnho0sthdA5P%2B6Xc0HFNe%2F86JQWiyi8kftK96o7BsmrMA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMgOvo2u9k just put it in the middle and use a yardstick on each of your pads some people use a water level or, if you have a long enough straight edge and a digital level yes roll the car off the pads and bounce it a couple of times after a change, then back on and verify
  19. 108 is good for a street motor But, if you want to run at the pointy end of FF, you need more and the serious SCCA types will be touching up the valves at 25 hours, and rings at 50
  20. So, an update first, it's def not an Arnie motor it is a fresh build, but prob 20 years ago still has the Ford pistons, not the current CP items had an oil pressure issue, as in none priming pump on dyno wouldn't put up any pressure finally figured out the plug in the oil gallery right behind the cam gear was missing able to fix it without pulling the gear and every gasket leaks whoever built it only put sealer on one side after all that, it did fire right up 108hp so prob a good number back then, but not now but it has a new home with a friend who's going to refresh it for his Dulon
  21. once they spin...it gets tricky I've ground some with a dremel also a narrow wood chisel
  22. I've seen an MGB fry the throttle cable
  23. No doubt the string setup is better, but for quick + dirty job, the plates are fine At one point, when I was racing my Supervee, I had a collapsible frame that went around the car to string it but, for a solid axle 7, at home nah
  24. a homemade set of these is what I use for toe adjustments https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=12736 and a digital level for camber
  25. Hmmm I know where there's a square tube locost frame hanging on a wall.....
