Nutserts and Rivnuts are two different products. Both are threaded inserts but are produced by two different companies and are set by different principles. "Rivnuts is a nickname for "Rivet nuts", the original name. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/ha/rivetnuts.html

If the threaded retainers are Nutserts or Rivnuts, they may have been installed incorrectly. In my experience, in thin sheet metal, Riv-Nuts do a better job while Nutserts are better in thick panels. In any case, each must be pulled tight and installed in the correct size hole to prevent the...

Jongbloed modular wheels have a conventional lip.

There have been a number of posts about adding front fender vents to an existing body. I have been wondering about two things- 1. Why weren't the vents molded into the fenders in the first place? 2. The vents seem to be upside-down in some cases, disrupting the clean air flow. My...

For those who thought the GT40 was tiny....

Saw this today on Facebook:

Of course they loosen and fall off. You need to use all-metal lock nuts. https://www.metricmcc.com/all-metal-locknuts

Do you have an insulated cover over those exposed battery terminals?

MSD does not seem to have a very good reputation for reliability. I suggest a Crane HI-6 capacitive discharge ignition.

Howard has posted some very valuable advice. "Getting F/R braking right is not easy and it will require some time and testing." To illustrate the lengths some go to get the right mix of parts to give optimum performance, I'll give my rear brake setup as a harebrained example :). Since I used a...

For street use, the Performance Friction "CarbonMetallic" pads have an unusually high coefficient of friction and they are easy on your rotors.

I put a set of American Racing magnesium Torque-Thrust wheels on my '65 GTO when it was new back then. Dogs would come from miles around to piss on those wheels. I could NOT keep them clean & shiny. :mad:

Nice! The drywall ceiling will give you a much brighter interior than otherwise.:)

Just to carry Howard's point a bit further... (probably to the point of tedium), a mid-engine car is a different animal from a conventional layout. It probably has 60- 65% of its total weight on its rear wheels so one might think it will need more brake pressure on the rear (given equal rotor...

The type of piston rings makes a difference. Without an air filter, chrome rings last longer but take longer to get seated in the bore when new. Softer , moly-filled rings seat quicker but, as they are softer, wear quickly in the presence of airborn dust & grit. Dirt track cars almost always use...

Well, that's a different sound!

That explains it; I only know Ferrari & Chevrolet engines well.

Thank you, I thought this might be a "W" configuration block.
