    Many times when I have looked at pics of sevens, in the background is a samurai or tracker. Wonder how many on the list have one of those; I have a third gen myself. Neat little run about parts chaser. Wayne

    Got curious, so ran some numbers rpm HP TQ 3450 90 137 4100 110 141 4750 130 144 5400 165 160 6050 190 165 6700 210 165 7000 217 163 7350 210 150 As rule of thumb, most 2.0L put out TQ of 150 and 1.6L put out TQ of 125. There are some motors that are outside these numbers, but they either have very high compression and run very high RPMs, or both. Wayne, 187 RWHP Zetec

    Sorry to hear about your trans problems. One solution for shifting problems on my rocket box was to install a machined brass strip to the side of the case. The aluminum case had worn down the factory stop. The brass strip was epoxied and screwed to the tail housing. Maybe this will be of help, Wayne

    I have been using a 1.5 watt SP to keep the winch battery charged while stored. Doesn't hurt to have a charge line from the tow vehicle to add more "juice" when and if needed. For the motorhome, have 5 watt SP and they required a charge controller so as to not overcharge the battery. The charge controller cuts out at 13.7 volts. Many of our newer "electronics on wheels" need SP to keep up with the battery drain if left sitting for too long. Wayne

    You can also send Porterfield a tracing of your pad and they can match it.

    Bill, James is correct regarding the sprung disc, but I disagree with the puck being abrupt. The abruptness comes from the solid vs the sprung disc. Since most solid discs have pucks, they get thought of together. I found from RAM, a sprung disc with six pucks and it works fine on the street. My previous solid disc, not so well. The pucks make for a lighter weight disc assembly. Wayne

    Depending on the flywheel and throughout bearing setup, you might look into RAM clutches. I was able to use one of their smaller (7.75') steel clutches predrilled for larger flywheel bolts and their 6 puck disc. All up weight is 9 lbs. The clutch assembly is thinner so resetup of throughout bearing is required. Their setup is for the Pinto 2300. My raceline flywheel was already drilled for larger bolts. Putting over 200 HP through it with no problems. Wayne in San Diego

    Thanks for posting, Skip

    Just a note regarding AR tires. These tires are designed for USAC midgets that have specific rims sizes in each corner. Some have the tried the tires only to find that they were using a specific front tire on a rear drive application. If it doubt, call Boudin tire in Iowa. You can talk to Troy Boudin regarding AR tires. I will be trying out the new SC2100 8x20-13 on my Cat Super 7 D mod this weekend. This tire has increased sidewall stiffness. Wayne

    Depending on your intended application, a couple of us run our zetec using SDS. Great service and tech support. SDSEFI.com Magnets placed on either end of the crankshaft supply the timing. Options include fuel pump relay, fan relay, fast idle relay and rpm relay. They now have AFR data logging.

    Suggest time pressure monitor for your single axle trailer. I'm using tire minder which connects to the valve stem and has replaceable batteries. This will give you an early indication of any tire problems. I have sensors on the tow vehicle as well.

    SDS supplies a separate box that allows running the normal type injector. Look at sdsefi.com. Ross can probably help you.

    Many west coast guys are using Bogart with great success. I would try to buy closest to you, if the prices are close to the same. Always good to trial fit, if possible, before committing to the set.

    One way to have a 5the or 6th attachment point on the Caterham, is to install a threadsert into the crossbar in front of the seat. Another is to drill into the floor pan. Wayne in San Diego

    Also heard it called 7 America. Perhaps John D of Simplesevens will chime in. Wayne

    I have heard that the American 7 was a clam shell fendered with an under 1 liter engine. Think it was allowed in FP; which did not allow the Super 7. Wayne

    On the 2005 USA Tour, One of the Caterhams had the V8 engine and he ran complete tour. This car also had that attitude that if I need it, I already got it. Beautiful car that was air lifted in from Dubai for it's owner.

    Derek, The confusion might be that the 4 speed and 5 speed use different shifters. Quaife makes or made a shifter for the 5 speed. I think that tailshafts are different and therefore the shifter is also different. The Quaife 5 speed shifter is a nice piece. It bolts on with three bolts. Wayne in San Diego

    Have seen some in circle track in the smaller size. These are the type that have rubber backing behind a larger washer.

    I have an almost complete set of DHLA45 jets for sale, at least four of each size and almost all sizes. Would sell duplicates, but would like to sell the complete set. Open to all cash offers from the list before hitting ebay. Thanks, Wayne super7guy7@yahoo.com
