    Converting RHD SLC to LHD

    I cut out mesh guards for the the bottom side of the fender vents. My vents are bonded in place so I wanted protection from larger stone strikes. They will get bonded up in place after I powder coat them. I also plan to make solid copies that a magnetic. When I get the car certified I will...

    Stock headlights diameter?

    The stock lights are 90 mm. https://www.rallylights.com/hella-90mm-classic-modular-headlamp-h9-halogen-dot-sae.html Some builders upgrade their headlights so I’ll bet a few sets are available unused if you are looking for a replacement. I decided to repurpose my original lights for my 1980...

    My vote is for 2 1/2 gallons minimum and 3 gallons ideal.

    Michael's GT-R Build

    I’m collecting parts for a future GT-R build so I’d be in for a set of the fog light lens as well. [email protected] Plus any other parts you might want to replicate/sell. Especially the CNC side mirror mounts and rear grills.

    Fastener Information

    Howard here is the McMaster-Carr part number for your application if using the same stub shafts as me #91074A353. They are $13.96 for a pack of two (One pack does both rear stubshafts). They are reusable as well.

    Fastener Information

    It all depends whose axle stub shafts you are using Howard. The difference is in the size of the nut. I think you are using the same stub shafts as me (DSS 33spline C7 Corvette). If so….the following pictures shows the part number and fit up. For anyone else using the upgraded factory rear...

    Fastener Information

    Nord-Lock washers are used on the C6 ZR1 Corvette rear axle outer stubshafts. I’m using them on my SLC as well.

    Stainless manifold studs and nuts a good idea?

    That’s correct Joel. Although these torque measurements are for the LS7/LS9 manifolds and LS3/LS7/LS9 cylinder heads. I’m sure the LT4 is the same.

    Stainless manifold studs and nuts a good idea?

    Those are the ones I have. The GM part number is #11518424. They sell for about $10 each new.:oops: The matching nuts are #11517996. They sell for about $4 each new. They are distorted thread lock nuts so I would recommend buying new. I would just use regular m10x1.5 nuts for fit up and then...

    Stainless manifold studs and nuts a good idea?

    The 6 bolts holding exhaust manifolds to the cylinder heads get thread sealant and torqued in 2 passes. First pass-11 lb/ft, second pass-18 lb/ft. Starting in the center then alternating outwards. The nuts on the studs get tightened to 37 lb/ft with no mention of a thread lubricant or thread locker

    Stainless manifold studs and nuts a good idea?

    A good high temperature rated anti-seize I just noticed that the stock nuts are magnetic. I’ll see what the OEM service manual calls for regarding the threads.

    Stainless manifold studs and nuts a good idea?

    CV boot replacement with Ricardo

    BT-36 is the correct boot (that’s what mine is). The Driveshaft shop (DSS) is your best bet for new ones. I tried to find them elsewhere and came up empty. Once and a while DSS were known to install the wrong boots and they only lasted a couple of drives. In the last few years I have read about...

    Windshield Wipers

    Something like this should work. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Universal-Windshield-Wiper-Switch-for-Single-Motor,2371.html I guess most users of the Intrigue steering column remove the right wiper/washer stalk. You could mount a momentary push button switch (for the washer) next to the...
