Ahhh, those are sweet. Hopefully you haven't gone down the rabbit hole of Astrophotography. I hear that sucks you in harder than a black hole!

Liking the telescope in the garage....StellarVue?

half-shafts and sway bar are in. In a RHS, there's a panel right behind the gearshift that enables you to adjust the shifter fore and aft as well as clock it for the right position. Think I have that done correctly. First two photos are the initial shifter install mismatched, 3rd one is the...

Just found out the vent plug for the hole on the top comes apart and you can unscrew the vent leaving the plug in place. It's a 3/8"NPT. Now I'll be inserting a 90 degree 3/8"NPT to -6AN into that hole and use an external vent. Should prevent the blow-by that Dennis has noted on the track...

Bob, engine is already in place, no cutting needed with Dennis' front dress kit. Next, clutch is bled and seems to be working fine. Rear subframe with the support bar is attached. Have no idea what the torque specs are. Started at 20lb and went up to 65lb. Really not sure about this but...

Dave, what model of back up camera are you using? I'm also looking for a wireless model to use with my iPhone

I'll use that as a torque spec to start off with. Assembled the rear subframe. Will be upgrading the Grade 5 bolts to Grade 8. Next up are some custom brackets to hold the dry sump tank and oil cooler.

Unpacked the half shafts today and they're nearly dry. Not sure what SPF was thinking. So, will be taking them apart this week and repacking. The bolts that are included have no lock washers. I also have no torque specs, which I'm assuming means "tighten it as much as you can......but don't...

You can run a remote breather off the port where the brass vent screws into. It's a 1" port, just wondering if an aluminum NPT fitting is the way to go as there are a lot of options there, not many with a straight pipe thread

Here it is

Chris, I'm going to insert a file Lynn Miner gave me on the transaxle. I think the top port with the brass fitting would be the easiest port to use for filling. Use the instructions in the document. Also, Dennis Olthoff told me the brass fitting (which is essentially a breather valve) tends...

The linkage for the RHS is next. The hole in the shaft of the transaxle is parallel to the ground, but the linkage seems to be too oblique for the hole in the linkage to match up to the hole in the transaxle shaft.

Transaxle is in. This is the proper face to measure for the throwout. Unfortunately, the throwout "wobbles" a bit with the shims. I had the aluminum fitting machined down a bit which necessitated more shims. Overall bearing clearance should be 0.100 to 0.120 inches. It will thoroughly suck...

Quartermaster 721 series

I bought that bracket several years ago. Don't remember if I ever checked to see exactly where it's supposed to go. Brilliant! OK, next question is on the throwout bearing. I've measured the distance from the bellhousing face to the fingers (first photo) and next I'm supposed to measure the...

Next up, I purchased a steel bracket to reinforce the bottom of the horse collar. Not sure if this is where it goes or if it belongs between the lower control arm and the rear cage that holds the rear clam. Any thoughts are welcome!

I cut the transaxle flare and beveled it with an angle grinder to continue the flare of the bellhousing.

Back in the saddle. I found a fabricator closer to home so the aluminum fitting has been modified and now seats fully and interdigitates with the screws so it won't spin. Dennis recommended cutting a hole in the flare of the transaxle casing for the bleeder hose. Studs are in place on the two...

Haven’t bought the winch yet but that may be in the cards

Oh, and the l-track with Mac tie downs works great. These tie downs (no COI) are made for low clearance cars. I did the ones where the straps interdigitate with the grooves in the tire rather than the nets. Has worked great taking my spec e30 back and forth to the track (2.5 hours each way at...
