Paul, Sounds like one of those, "It only hurts when I laugh (or cough, sneeze, breath, move or .......)" situations. Hope the loss of mass also means quicker recoveries! Regards, Lynn

Hamilton is the Tiger Woods of motor racing! I don't think there is any doubt about that now. I'll bet Sato felt just as good though when he passed Alonso to put the Super Aguri Honda into 6th place! The team had said that getting into the top 10 would be like a win to them. I was saying...

Ian, To get the jam nut on and the car aligned as a road car as it was designed to be, the weld in tube end mearly needs to be machined back just to the weld. The shoulder of the bung is basically the same width as a jam nut. Worst case, the jam nut might need to be thinned just a tad as...

Well, you sure as hell can't say that Montreal has been boring to this point! Prayers are with Kubica who, they are indicating on Speed, seems to be relatively OK given the horrendous nature of his crash! David, it appears that McLaren couldn't have been more wrong; at least thus far. Lynn

Jac Mac, I think you are spot on and this forms the basis for what I am going to choose to believe happened with the design and production of at least some of the Sabre upper A arms. I made some measurements and did some scale sketches of what some different designed A arms would look like...

Bill, Huh??? Lynn

As I speculated, MSD did not respond to my email, so I called them. It turns out that the inlet port for the MSD high pressure pump can be replaced with an AN fitting. The outlet hose barb is built into the pump and cannot be replaced. The idea of the Carter low pressure pump costing more...

While it turns out that the "stock" alignment settings for the DRB are very similar to those recommended for the Sabre, it doesn't appear that I can leverage any experience that DRB owners may have developed with their use of 'Vette uprights. See this thread: Lynn's post in the GT40 Australia...

Peter and Mike, Thanks very much! Your "stock" settings are very similar to the Sabre recommended settings. Having taken a look at Lee Stanley's pictures of the DRB suspension setup, I am not sure if any altered or race setups for the DRB will be applicable to the Sabre. As I mentioned...

Lee, Do a search for "turnbuckle" Also, try this: Petersen Stainless Regards, Lynn

Since you guys also use 'Vette front uprights, it would be very helpful if you could share the alignment settings that you have found to work well with your cars. No doubt, the settings that you use will have to work better for those of us with Sabres (and other cars that use 'Vette suspension...

DRB/GT40 Australia Owners, Since you guys use 'Vette front uprights, would you care to share front end settings that have worked for you? Regards, Lynn

Russ, et al, Thanks for the input! Russ, your explanation really helped clear the cobwebs for me. My understanding of KPI was exactly as you have describe it: something that I couldn't alter; short of shimming the bearing mounts which I wouldn't even consider doing. But with all of the...

Just out of curiosity I looked up the alignment specs for Corvettes on the web. Here is what I found at Vette Brakes & Products, Inc. : 84 - 96 Corvette Front Alignment Toe Daily Driver ..............1/32" in Advanced Street .......0" Autocross Baseline.....3/16" out Track...

Russ, No clue what the KPI is. Neither SAI or included angle were provided on the printout from the alignment. Although, someone who is intimately familiar with '85-'87 'Vette front uprights might be able to deduce what it is based on the camber/caster values. I agree with your and...

John Ross, Hmmmm...............Now I am questioning the accuracy of the alignment. Here are the settings we were shooting for (settings provided by John Donnelley): Ride height: 4.5" front 5.0" rear FRONT Camber: -0.5° Caster: +4° Toe-In: 1/8" (30 minutes) REAR...

Prime examples of my favorite signature line: "Stupidity Kills; just not often enough......"

Congratulations to the both of you!! Regards, Lynn

John Ross, If you wouldn't mind taking a quick measurement just to see if we are in the ball park, that might be helpful. Below is a picture of the arm with the measurment I took off of the leading edge at the middle of the arm. The outer corner of the bushing housing (chassis end) seemed...

Here is a photo from earlier in the build, but I it is the best one that I have to show what is being discussed. Regards, Lynn
