It is my understanding that ZF Tradition buys their parts from Performance Gears / RBT in Houston and then marks them up. Good luck getting them to provide you a quote. I have been waiting since May and finally moved on. SAFIR (Bob Wood) makes a beautiful piece that goes along with his slave...

I am unaware that Jay ever sold wheels. Same with SPF but you could contact a dealer to ask them if they would order you a set. Same with ERA but more fundamentally, what hub do you have as they are all not the same? If you want the real deal, here's your source. These are the Halibrand...

So then did the rear alignment that you had done come loose? If you search the forum, there are several threads on the SPF alignment specs people have used including a PDF showing where and how to make the adjustments.

For what it's worth, since they actually wrote a very detailed assembly manual with specs, ERA specified +6 degrees of front caster and allows for shims to be inserted front and back to achieve that. They spec 0 degrees camber and 1/8" toe in. Tire pressures are 22 front and 25 rear.

When you say Avons - are they grooved race tires? Bias ply? I have a set on a wide body Pantera and they felt like I was driving on soft rubber bands. They were not suitable for street use (which of course I already knew but tried them anyhow). It was a quick experience. They were all over...

Does Gelscoe not have some? Only basing this question on their website

Your wheel selection will be driven by what hub type and number of drive pins they have. There are members on the forum that have had Vintage make 13" or 14" wide rims in the BRM pattern. You should call Bob Lacy or email him directly. The image wheels are 3-piece versus Vintage being a 2...

Congrats and thank you Paul!

How are you all paying these people - if with PayPal, they will not let this happen assuming you didn't send it "to a friend".

thank you Mark

For those that have a recent build of an SPF car and are using either MSD or Pertronix distributors/ignition modules, did you require an adapter for the SPF tach?

Vintage Wheels used to have them but no longer last time I asked them. I believe this is the spec: Thread depth 1.4 inches. 8 TPI thread 58.4 mm. 60 degree chamfer.

So these persons paid to be vendors on this site? and then proceeded to scam us? Or were these off-book sales not advertised here?

Here is a thread from my Pantera brothers which gets debated about every 2 years. I use Castrol 80W90 which is what Roy Butfoy told me 34 years ago and never have had a problem. NON synthetic. They drip as they are. Synthetic will cause a lot of leaks. Somewhere between 3 to 4 QUARTS...

The last reference you list shows pints - that is wrong. It is somewhere around 3.0 - 3.5 QUARTS of gear oil. Running in the Pantera configuration it uses 3.5 quarts. Use a quality GL4 / GL5 NON synthetic gear oil such as Castrol 80W90.

thanks DaveM

Replaced the VR which solved the short but the ammeter was still pegged. Battery could not hold 12.3V. Got a new battery, resolved issue. Checked Alternator output which is 14.6 V running fast idle. Battery voltage not running 12.7 V. Ammeter behavior back to normal - shows load, charge and...

For those folks that live in Texas, I am selling a car currently registered in California. The CA DMV Title only requires a mileage recording and signature on the front of the title. The back of the title is to be completed by the Buyer. We have executed a signed Bill of Sale which states the...
