My 2c Re the battery and correction of AlanW's 9/12/11 post Re my MSD box
I use an Odyssey PC1200 (1200 cranking amps for 5 sec, 44AH).Great battery
The MSD is a "6ALN". The back is NOT removed. The PWB assembly is conformally coated to prevent moisture damage (this is what causes most...
Alan,
Won't the Rubber-Insulated Rivet Nuts be too deep for the top holes and don't they have a shpulder that will keep the plexi away from the frame?

I like the original beveled screws and countersunk plexi (makes for an easily cleanable surface).
Seems like SPF went to no countersink and pan head hardware to preclude stress cracking the plexi if the screws tightened too much.
I eliminated the possibility of cracking by putting a drop...
Rich,
Screws you show are not what SPF uses; someone changed them.
SPF supplies slotted head SS screws that are countersunk into the plastic.

Auctions are a crap shoot. In January of this yr a SPF MK11 with a Rousch small block sold @ BJ for $120K +10% or $132K
SPF's have been selling well on Cobra Country (last one sold for @ or real close to $125K)

In my posts above I tout Olthoff (rightly so as he sold me the roller, performed the install, did a great job and is an overall great resource) BUT, over the years Lance has gone above and beyond to service me with parts (both in and out of warantee), AND as I was an "earlly adopter" set me up...

1)Research other brands for comparison and as reference when inspecting your SPF with the selling dealer...

Glenn,
I am the PROUD owner of P2125. Have done lot's of upgrades, mods and tweaks to the car because I wanted to (see SPF Forum "Upgrades/Mods to P2125") and a few things because I needed to BUT, never doubted that I would need to keep a wrench handy.
My background is...
Alan,
As you know I'm pretty savvy but, I don't get it.
Where is "the part that is pinned"?
For the brakes there are 2 threaded rods, associated lock nuts and rod ends and this assembly at this end of the threaded rod looks to be pretty robust.
Now I see the bias bar guides with the...
Ron,
I must be dense
Can't figure out what partyou are talking about Re
" Dennis told me that they get rid of the threaded rod ends (the part that is pinned), and just use regular rod ends retained by a couple of nuts. "
Are they the rods connecting the masters to the bias bar assy...
Re: Little Venting
I do not have a problem with the frames/mono paint. Does not chip, adhesion is fine and no rust.
I did have weeping rubber lines fron the cannisters and was worried about possible internal corrosion of the (original type) metal cannisters so as shown in the SPF forum under...
Hi Larry,
