The snake deal is some serious s&#%! We live in an area that has a lot of snakes but I have never seen any in my back yard (maybe because of artificial grass) and as a result have been lax on periodicaly checking things out. Our 2 mini Dachsunds love the back yard and have been terrorizing...

An additional problem on some cars is the AC ducting going to the dash vents is crushed (during assembly) and does not give you full low from the blower. I am going to pull the dash out and change them as mine are flattened. Dave

Hi Ian, I am interested in attending from US can you e-mail details? Anybody else from US interested in shipping a car over for this event? Dave

Keith, how about more pictures of the Lotus?

Hi Frank, what does that car have for an engine? I hope to have my own Indy car done in time for next year. I was set back on that by the accident last year but am getting quite a bit done on it now. I will be posting some pictures of the progress pretty soon. Dave

Hi Frank, how about some pictures of the Eisart car, couldn't go this year but will try and be there in 2010. Dave

I purchased a set of Simmons wheels for a Pantera 18 years ago, they were excellent. Sorry to see them go. Dave

Ian, that is all true, but I have added some sound deadner to the SPf, the fire system is not in nor the 5 pt harnesses. We will weigh Cal's and get a better idea of a newer CAV's porkiness. Dave

The transaxle will come out if you remove the 4 bolts that attach the block to motor mounts. You can then tilt up the back the engine. Unless you hae modified the bellhousing so that you can reach the nuts on the inside, you will have to sepearte the bellhousing from the engine. Tha CAV clutch...

I always use studs on the intake, then you don't have the issue involving mis-alighnment. Dave

This is not that hard, The CHP needs to verify the Vin,the CHP accepted my SPF chassis number as the vin.T The BAR referee station needs to look at your car (they don't test anymore), on my car I selected 1966 as the year and they required a closed PVC system, as I already had a PVC it was easy...

Fuel pressure is critical, 3 1/2 max, take the idle jets out and blow some air thru the internal passages of the carb, verify float levels are correct.

Hi Richard, project looks good, smart to cut the reliefs for the upper bolts on the ZF. Dave

Hi Richard, your collectors should work. A spring is not needed on the slave set up, when you adjust it push the piston all the way down into the slave, adjust the clevis so that you have about 1/8 inch of clearance off the clutch fingers. The bearing that Mcleod supplies is a full run...

Richard, good luck on a quick replacement of the exhausts, it took about 6 months to get my 302 headers! The factory was closed for a month in December and then they had to find a container to piggy back them to the US in. But it was all worth it in the end, the car is awesome! Dave

Hi Jack, Doreen and I are planning on attending. I can't take enough time off to bring the car. David Briggs and Doreen Harvey SPF 2214 MKI David Briggs on the forum. Thanks

There was a discussion about longer links for the rear sway bar and somebody was making them for the SPF. I cannot find the thread does anybody know who is making them? Thanks, Dave

2214 is finally up and running, we drove it to Reno last week, round trip of 1200 miles. I installed the Safir bell housing and flywheel/clutch combo and it works very well. The clutch is very smooth and the lighter weight does not affect the launch of the car. I highly recommend it. Dave

I just drove 2214 to Reno and back (1200 round trip) and the AC worked ok but I have not sealed the area between the radiator and the nostrils and quite a bit of warm air comes into the footwell area, this is pretty hard for the AC to overcome. Also the fan does not seem to have the volume...

Cal, as soon as you can get that thing up here. Dave
