I just welded some 3/16 key stock to some cheap Harbor freight sockets. Looks like I used to 35 mm socket and a 34 mm. Note that the special socket tool that needs to go over the input shaft doesn’t have a deep enough throat so I had to cut the ratchet end off with a chop saw and weld a 30 mm on...

and to reassemble the case I wouldn't use standard silicone at the auto parts store. you need an anaerobic sealant like this loctite 518. thats whaty i am using. i spent some time searching the factory sealant used by audi and the loctite 518 is equivalent...

there are so many to choose from. simply paste a part number into google and you are off to the races https://www.scuderiacarparts.com/part-finder/lamborghini/gallardo/oe/48/3431 https://www.eurospares.co.uk/parts/lamborghini/gallardo-lp550-2-coupe/transmission-pedals/output-shaft-56983...

086307303 Is the part number for the prop shaft nut as well as the two nuts your remove Right after you take that black cover off the back of the transfer case. As seen in this pic those are the two nuts on the very end of the input and output shaft. One of them holds on the reverse gear. This...

note also that I had to buy a new water pump (a standard corvette pump like the one that comes w the crate motor) because I could find no way to make the water pump that came w the car work with the belt orientation I had to use after adding the high mount AC compressor

SO JOHAN THSES ARE THE PART NUMBERS get 2 of part number: 086307303 get 1 of part number: wht002978

I finished the AC bracket. Turned out pretty nice. Note that I used 3/16 inch chromoly plate. And note that if you build your own like this one you will need three washers as shown in the picture to properly space the AC compressor

Note that you will need two of these part number seven nuts to complete the install also. 27 mm. No controversy about these particular nuts. Note that if you are reinstalling the front propeller shaft you will need a third one of these 27mm nuts if you want to install the propeller shaft...

Here’s another example of what I’m talking about. Note that in this specific diagram Only the 22 mm nut is listed under part 15. Does this have something to do with the V 10 transmission versus the V8 transmission?

Note that in the picture I posted there are three nuts. The with the yellow mark on it was the original and it is 20 mm. The nuts sitting next to it is the part I ordered which is 22 mm. The nut that is screwed on the shaft is a 20 mm x 1.5 Generic not. If I was lazy I would just use this random...

Here is an interesting tidbit for anyone tackling this project. Look at this particular nut in the diagram. Number 15. This nut needs to be whacked with a hammer once it is torqued to help secure it to the shaft. If this nut is removed it Has to be replaced with a new one. There are a total of...

After removing the front wheel drive gears/shaft I had to plug up the hole. At first I bought a cheap set of aluminum seal installation pucks from Harbor freight. I drilled a hole in one of them and tapped an aluminum bolt into the hole. One of the smaller pucks fit well from the backside. This...

The rattle can paint job turned out pretty nice. The paint seems to stick Well with the prep. We will see.

Are there more pics of the rest of the chassis? What Forces led to the damage? How does the passenger compartment look? The Slc is particularly appealing to me because it looks like one of the safer kit car chassis out there. I have raced and wrecked in desert races, rally races, and rock...

Im not loosing much sleep over that pic. As a whole this SLC chassis is very sound. The passenger compartment is especially so. If that was a steel weld Id be a little more interested but not for an isolated aluminum weld failure. Especially since the weld is where a thin tube of aluminum is...

surge tanks work and are reliable. yours looks clean and well constructed. These surge tanks just seem overkill to me and there is nothing wrong with overkill. That said, the end goal is to maintain constant fuel pressure even when fuel is sloshing around. It can be argued that there are simpler...

its always ideal for external fuel pumps to sit below the level of fuel if the tank. As shared it prevents pump cavitation and keeps the pump primed. But in my experience its not as much of an issue as reported. My race truck has been running the same off the shelf walboro pump for 8 years. lots...

beautiful work. Thoughtful engineering. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up.

I considered using fancier paint but ive had good luck with rustoleum as long as it isn't exposed to too much sun. the real question is whether the primer will stick with my prep. I want to be able to touch up with rattle cans as there is still a lot of tinkering that needs to take place to the...
