Freewheel, I think that your alternatives are in the right order of Valid -> Invalid with the cross over being slightly skewed towards the lower numbers.

Dean, For best price, check out McMaster-Carr. I used a two sheet system in areas that weren't visible (for visible areas I used Dynamat Extreme; although I think there are cheaper alternatives that work just as well now.) For the two layer system, I used a closed cell, flame retardant...

I once made a post on how anyone can do this. It involves putting your arms into a crucifix configuration and rotating your fingers to indicate tire rotation and using a wall to represent the ground. Start out facing the wall, then flip yourself over (facing away from the wall) maintianing the...

David, You've come to the right place! Look for MK -IV J6 (Jim Glickenhaus) in the member list and check out posts he has created. Jim owns J6 and has posted a plethora of photos of it including a photo diary of its restoration. Use the Search tool on the main forums page to find...

Glad to hear that all went well! I am sure you'll be pushing the envelope to speed the recovery and wanting to do that is good, but don't over do it :D Regards, Lynn

Welcome aboard, Bruce!

Does anyone in the UK have an update on David's progress following his surgery on Monday?? Regards, Lynn

Good Stuff! I am really enjoying this thread Trevor, I caught the idle speed question and couldn't wait to hear the explanation !:squint: Chris (Flatchat), I second the motion that you share some of your experiences with setting up the DRB for the track! I am assuming that you were using...

Brian, Have you said somewhere what other materials you will be using for the interior of the car in areas other than these three? (Door panels, floor covering, dash, firewall, etc) Without regard to trying to coordinate other aspects of the interior and reflecting my preference for...

I had a brainstorm after closing the several windows that got generated within a minute or so of clicking on this link: From time to time, we get these type of posts from logons created just minutes before they are posted. When they are porn sites or something equally revolting, we just blow...

Re: A Starter Predicament Here is a picture of a Kennedy Hi-Torque starter on a G50. Because the motor is offset (vs. the solenoid) and because of the mount bolt location, the $64K question will be if there is enough room between the mount bolt and the tranny case, and below the axle. Its...

Congratulations Dave! It is great that they let them finish under green; a finish under yellow would have just seemed wrong. Further sweetness, no doubt, that it was the pensioners group that brought the win home and also that Aston-Martin got their long deserved win in GT-1 also. Lynn...

Re: A Starter Predicament Ron, Kennedy talks about the use of a VW diesel starter. This picture is a one I found on eBay that looks as though the solenoid is clocked such that it might work. They do say that they put a custom housing on it, but it may be worth investigating. Don't...

BTW, I redid the drawing to make the return circuits a bit less confusing than the original. Sandy, I never really considered the possibility of the HP return overpowering the LP supply, but if your EFI pump has that much output (both flow & pressure), I suppose it is a possibility. If...

I need to correct the brain fart in my previous post: I don't think there was (or is for that matter) a "Y" rated tire. The bottom line is that that I tried the next speed rating under "Z" that was available then. (I think they were probably "V" rated.) Lynn

Ian, To clear something up that my writing style evidently caused: I was not proposing the use of a pressure relief valve and float valve together. What I was trying to say was that one OR the other could cause an on demand fuel pump to cycle on and off. You are spot on with the issue of...

The new Walbro FRx fuel pumps come in two flavors: in one, the fuel flows at all times that power is supplied to the pump. In the other type, the pump turns on when fuel is needed (back pressure falls below a preset.) This is also the behavior of the Carter rotary vane universal type fuel pumps...

David, I am very sorry to hear about your cardiac issues. Will have you in our thoughts and prayers, especially on Monday! These Docs are getting so good at these bypasses that the surgery has become nearly routine; and, with the anti clot medicines the outcomes are really amazing...

Fred, I have always been a fan of Toyo tires. Their grip is great and my impression has been that their wet grip is almost better than their dry grip. I did, however, once buy a set of Y rated Toyos to get longer tread life (which is good to begin with) and found that the grip was quite...

Simon, If you could send me info on your system, I'd appreciate it. My adjusters are almost out of threads, so I have more than enough room for the lifters under the springs and the extra inch of clearance would make the difference between the nose rubbing on my driveway and clearing...
