  1. Something else that will help the integrity of the radiator mounting tabs is to have them welded across the front of the tab, such as this: http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=6888 Welding the tab across the front will help prevent minor flexing during vibration and thus greatly reduce the possibility of inviting unwanted pin holes.
  2. Aaah . . . . Grazie!
  3. The Jethro Rotary . . . Gotta love it.
  4. I want one.
  5. z, Nice to see an update . . . just knotch the hood, watch the wheelies and avoid those low flying 2x4's. x . . . . . . :cheers:
  6. Corrected the first post. This shouuld have been the third video:
  7. jevs, Congratulations! Looking forward to following your build.
  8. Exactly!!!
  9. wemtd, The Strorker should be faster. For every action, there is an equal and opposite bla, bla, bla. If the pistons are aligned horizontally with the longitudinal axis bla, bla, bla. And they are propelled rearward during the power stroke, it should propel the Storker forward at a high rate of bla, bla, bla.
  10. My bad on the last two videos. Should have been three different videos.
  11. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet . . . . perhaps? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJSLDq7MkhQ
  12. Well, I've learned a new word tonight . . . Rzeppa. I can't pronounce it, but I can spell it and I know what it does. Very educational. :jester:
  13. Hey, Steve, Dad and I had a fanstastic time! I do hope to do NJMP again next year if all works out. I'll definitely tell him you said hello. Can hardly wait to see what Croc comes up with, video-wise that is. :cheers:

    Age restricted . . . . Mmmmmmm, must be the beer.
  15. LOL, coffee! Love it! Wish I could do a hi-five emoticon on my iPhone.
  16. Mondo, When you order a new shaft, the U-joint cradles should be phased by the drive shaft builder. The burden of getting the angles right is on the shoulders of the installer. Here are two links to a couple of photos of drive shaft I've had built. Notice in both photos that the drive shaft cradles are 'welded in phase' by the shaft builder: http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=9538 http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=24447
  17. Turn signal switch; I used a simple non-spring loaded three way toggle (IN/OFF/ON). Sorry, it's chrome. Head light switch, standard PULL ON for park and head light power with an OFF/ON toggle switch. Yep, it's chrome also. The toggles work well and are available at any parts store for quick and easy replacement when/if needed. However, lots of choices available. I've ordered lots of stuff (electrical) from these guys. Might be a good starting point: http://www.genuinedealz.com/
  18. This was posted on the Stalker forum by one of our own; thought I'd pass it along. Probably the best (and simplest) explanation I've ever seen regarding proper driveshaft setup: http://www.macsmotorcitygarage.com/2014/07/26/video-driveshaft-angle-and-phasing/
  19. sdaddy, To help illustrate what toedrag is relaying (yep, a little pun in there ), here is a simple diagram of a headlight circuit using a relay. . . . . . :cheers:
  20. :smilielol5: . . . . . . :cheers:
  21. Spell check . . . Loren, you had me at 'hot toddler'.
  22. . . . . . . . And I was just trying to be funny. :svengo:
  23. Holy stealth fighter, Batman! At what speed do you rotate? :drool:
  24. Looks great, Jim! :hurray:
  25. Well, word on the street is that the front license plate natzis (southern spell'n) have been monitor'n this thread. Now, Seveneers around the country are hav'n to scramble to figure out a front-mount solution. The redneck in me says mount the plate at an angle just under the nose and use it as a spoiler. Or better yet (my personal favorite) split the plate and mount it on each side of the nose for that fancy canard effect . . . .This sounds soooo Red Green, but just say'n.
