  1. Those look really nice! The battery tray is such a nice repop item!
  2. I believe it should slide past. Once the balancer is on and tightened down, it can't move. IIRC...
  3. Really nice repair! Other than the diameter of the spot welds its invisible
  4. You can click through even though the certificates are expired. I don't really know how to keep those current...
  5. I bought my shrinking disc from Wray Shcelin. He's amazing moving metal around. That's an aluminum front end. So much more difficult than steel!
  6. I think he prefers the look of electric fans. No electronic control pf the fans. With the fans on all the time it over cools and warms up too slowly. Without the fans it warms up properly but would overheat with out the fans. Looking for a practical way for control. Most of the time a temperature probe is strapped to the radiator some where. Have you looked for fan switch setups at Summit Racing or Jeg's? I like the idea of using an unused port in the thermostat housing but finding the right device to mount there might be an issue. I believe the threading is BSPT but 1/2" NPT can be made to work
  7. Yes, the three on each side. As I recall there is a little movement in each hole but more in some than others. I also recall the hinge sort of rotates when you push the hood down. Then ighten them up... The other two, I really use for lining the hood between the fenders and cowl
  8. That car might be a really good deal...It was a fun color
  9. I believe I loosened all three, but it's been several years since I have done this
  10. I think a wide band would be mandatory for the swap
  11. Loosen the bolts in the left hood hinge. Remove the light or turn signal. Push the hood down and then tighten the hinge bolts while holding the hood down. See if that helps
  12. All very common rust areas. I like those railroad jacks! 😉
  13. You might want to get Steve's help with some preventive diagnostics before you plug in you new high dollar fuse box. They really shouldn't melt like that...

    The wood works better than calipers because you can make several and use them to hold the panel In place while you tighten it down
  15. http://fedhillusa.com/ Cunifer, copper nickel alloy and they are really nice to deal with. A little scotch brite to clean the lines up nice. A nice brake line flaring tool is expensive but a joy to use. There was a recent thread about a less expensive tool that worked good too
  16. I love the look of triples and I have a set I may run. But Im not sure they add a whole lot over SUs other than lower fuel economy
  17. I suspect the fuel. The newer Fuels are designed to atomize easier to make them burn cleaner. So the bowls are just drying out

    I use little Blocks of soft wood for gauging
  19. http://www.zcarparts.com/ They give a discount to classiczcar members
  20. I would use Fedhill material and make my own
  21. Is this what you wanted? 15 5/8" "cut an inch" So 14 5/8" x 25.4 = 371.5mm The level is not "level" but extended along the body line

  23. View Advert 14" mesh wheels I was originally going to use these on my Datsun, but that plan has changed. I would let them go cheap to find them a good home. Otherwise I will scrap them I was going to polish the rims and shoot a hammered gunmetal looking paint on the mesh centers Make me an offer...
