  1. Just out of curiosity, what do Cat's use for engine mounts with a xflow? My pre-lit Westfield uses Mk1 Cortina mounts on a welded up pedestal
  2. appears to be an old Lucas tag...LRA100 and 23716 are visible a bit under 5" diameter 2 wire hookup using the stock ford mounting bracket
  3. Moss sells an alternator for most of the 70's cars It looks about the same as what's on my xflow
  4. +1 for John Berget I've bought a lot of Formula Ford and Supervee tires from him over the years
  5. #1 probably not, if you can get the line to work #2 I'd change it look at the hole where the line(s) go the bleeder uses a tapered bottom for the bleed screw to seat against, while the line has an inverted flare fitting I don't see getting a good seal, trying to put a line in that bleeder hole #3 what thread does your old cylinder have? it's prob 3/8-24 and a BUBBLE flare the Honda unit is metric I'd contact Moss Motors, and get the right ones, and do the lines the regular way your can of worms is just opening........
  6. YMMV, but I've split 14LF calipers several times over the years with no problems when ordering kits, remember to order the rings for sealing the caliper halves---they are not included in rebuild kits
  7. the flasher depends on the incandescent bulb load to operate properly LEDs are lower load, so it thinks you have a bulb out, and flashers faster hazards are seeing enough load from 4 LEDs easy fix is to get a flasher for LEDs from feebay or such or you can parallel resistors to the Leds to increase load
  8. lightened flywheel for a 2 liter measurements tell me it's for a 2 liter 135 tooth ring gear--looks new nicely done, but no good to me $125 to you USPS priority box
  9. if you still need a pan, someone just put 4 on feebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/156150141194?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20230811123856%26meid%3D08e41b736dc14195aa79a1fd4b12a83a%26pid%3D101770%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D156150141194%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2%26brand%3DFord&_trksid=p4375194.c101770.m146925&_trkparms=parentrq%3Aa46c249218e0acf2598bafc3ffff3774|pageci%3Ad3ea1363-f1c8-11ee-9344-72e3c74276a3|iid%3A1|vlpname%3Avlp_homepage
  10. just a reflection on the "screen" filters... I maintain a vintage FF for a friend years ago we were at a race, and it was running hot, ambient air way up there I had put 10 / inch screen in front of rad for rock protection -probably 3-4 inches ahead yanked it out and got 15 degrees
  11. I was told, by a prospective dealer, over the weekend that when the new folks looked at the equipment and molds, they determined that the stuff was so old and outdated that moving it would ruin most of it if true, it's probably game over
  12. did you ever find one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/304660318904?fits=Year%3A1971|Engine+-+Liter_Display%3A1.6L|Trim%3ABase|Model%3APinto|Make%3AFord|Submodel%3ABase|Engine%3A1.6L+1597CC+98Cu.+In.+l4+GAS+Naturally+Aspirated|Submodel%3ABase|Engine%3A1.6L+1597CC+98Cu.+In.+l4+GAS+Naturally+Aspirated&itmmeta=01HRN2VV35RJ7X6ZJWEJS6X69Z&hash=item46ef2b8ab8:g:y2oAAOSw5PlkmdBb&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAABAGM2S4nHwgtCGulpdrXDKPPEby%2FUpmrSjw6jnSmAhZZlNwyZJvOx3fR5uWitScNmWUW82nTAB23gNoz1la%2FSamGB4JL6uWkenPD%2FQyZfLoEzVNgNOyo4N3VC6MjT8rDjbNfOHrAkxOuWTsgfOF2r4Vzs71mD%2FO9b0fh97bHdb1ufYRsxkxPKuQqRmxniiQVnNO2C6jEwMWwjEAdIPWf%2FdB9bauWSn4sVRO2isdPf1YZM%2FeZ7zmJ1dwyGkQZIB0Vzhe1Ww0lGZ%2F8H53zlb1WIu2pkyxxzK75xJ7pWwbD51zNb6Fa49J0VKGfuU5AsV1VowoPKw3I6oV2V0x6MJv3da50%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-Cx76LFYw
  13. No info on what's proper, but I do know you will have a lot less rocks to shovel out of the seat than the burgundy car....
  14. The answer to question #1 is probably yes....and yes My prelit had a hole in the plate with a 1/4" pipe elbow on it, always wet If you do put another fitting in the plate, use an AN bulkhead fitting with a stat-o-seal washer A gob of epoxy should seal that hole, or a zap with the MIG How close is the gauge hole to an edge of the tank? Is it close enough that you could put a bulkhead fitting in the front or end of the tank near the top? when I built my new tank, I used weld-on bungs When looking for a new sender, you also need to match the resistance to the gauge
  15. Just a thought....will your homeowner policy cover it? same as theft from your car at that point it's "stuff", not a "vehicle" HO policy covered stolen trailer for a friend
  16. If you want a bottom mount, look at big Healeys Moss has a couple of sizes
  17. NPT AFAIK you could always run a tap in and open them up a bit
  18. Get longer bolts with the proper grip length, then shorten the threads with a cutoff wheel, if needed Loctite
  19. I'd be a bit worried about that thermostat housing. I've had a pressed in fitting blow out of a xflow fuel pump , and this is running more than double the pressure. If there's enough meat there, I'd tap it for a threaded fitting. FWIW SCCA hasn't allowed those fuel fittings for years
  20. it's for access to the bolts on the flange
  21. Could that rear panel simply be intended as access for the u-joint? In my Westfield, it would be damn near impossible any other way.
  22. I was told, on another forum, it will be like 8 months to be back in business
  23. Maybe check with Caterham, and see who made the harness?
  24. My prelit has the battery on the floor right behind the passenger's butt access by removing RR wheel (sort of), or remove boot floor (5 screws) garden tractor battery--2 common amperages, depending on how you want terminals arranged
  25. There will probably be some air sucked in where the primaries go into the collector, affecting your numbers
