Will he need a Schumi bubble to be able to fit in the daytona coupe? :) Al

Hi Vaughn, One thing I would mention is that many plexi windscreens I have seen have been installed by first creating a hole of that is smaller than the head of the screw you plan to use, but large enough to allow you to install a nylon bushing in the hole in the plexi and have the screw pass...

Hi Peter, I have no transaxle experience, but I have set up a lot of Ford rear ends, so just as another point of reference, take this for what it is worth. For a standard 9" (Ford) straight axle rear end, the Ford service manual states if you are looking to resolve a clunk, and have less...

Hi John, It turns out that most of the time we only use two lanes - fours lanes was really overkill and the track would probably just as much fun with just two lanes. And to be honest, I started out the same way with a Scalextric set, and I think the kids actually like the shorter tracks...

Very Nice JPC - but be careful, or before you know it you will end up like this :-) And yes, I should be working on my RCR! Best Regards, Al

Like Ron mentioned, I bolted up my headers thinking I was going to have to be very gentle with the mockup block. That worry lasted about 2 minutes and I was soon tapping on the collectors with a rubber mallet! The only reason you see a wood block between the transaxle and the exhaust is to...

Of course I would prefer to purchase a defrost panel from RCR, but Tornado lists one in their parts catalog that I suspect would require less fabrication: Full parts list for the TS 40 40-82* Dash demister louvered panel in Aluminium with fixings. £38 $57 Al

Hi Bill, Use this (or similar from SEM etc.) and it will probably never come off - but I would still go with the 2-sided automotive tape. Regards, Al

One alternative to drilling is to find a thin wall brass tube (either from a hobby shop or Ace Hardware's K&S tubing display) that is the diameter of the hole you need. Sharpen the edge (the inside edge ideally, using a jewelers file), attach to a soldering iron (a 15 watt one for electronics)...

Hi Ron, Did you need to trim the rear lip for the 295s, or the fronts, or both? Thanks & Regards, Al

Looks like water (coolant) in the oil to me. I'd throw some dye in the coolant and see if you spot dye in the oil after a few heat/cool cycles. Regards, Al H

Yep, not perfect, but way more accurate than me + blueprints + ruler :)

Hi Ron, In the past, I've just used steel tubing with theses adapters welded on: Threaded Insert, Weldable "Thread Bungs" -- Midwest Control Products Corp. Al

Here's another alternative. Not paper, but foam. I just bought one even though I do have a block etc. P-Ayr Products Replica Long Block Engines: PYP-3020 - summitracing.com Regards, Al

Hi Ron, Looks like I'm still getting the same results. Al

I don't have one, but here is an angle shot of one on an engine. Al

Mark, I think you are correct, even just 01E without a user name specified only yields 26 threads, starting in 6/2006. I'll take a look tonight and consult with Ron. Regards, Al

VairKing, I purchased a new 01E from a person that had it shipped from Europe. He claimed to have paid about $600 in freight to get two of them over here (Kansas). Regards, Al

Nah, just persistent, Thanks Fran.

Ho Ho Ho, I was at Target earlier in the week and I found all of these in the toy section while my kids were buying more Nintendo Wii games... they could not understand why I would care about a toy that does nothing more than roll. :) The Gulf Ford GT is from a Matchbox blisterpack...
