Seller is "Bis Mark"????

We have taken two different approaches to building a rear wing. I used NACA 4412 profile and I made a forming block from hard maple. I hammered out 6061-T4 ribs on it and skinned it with 0.016" 2024- T3. As the old proverb says, "There is more than one way to skin a cat."

It sounds to me as if "drop gears" are a transaxle equivalent to the old hot rod "quick- change" differential.

OK, thanks. It is simply an overdrive gear.

The search turned up a zillion "drop gear" references but I still don't know what it means. Is it a British term?

Ok, I have to ask "What are drop gears?"

I owned a Ferrari 250GTE 2+2 back in the late '60s that developed a positively embarrassing shriek from the pads rubbing on the rotors in a slow stop. In traffic the noise was so loud that it was irritating to onlookers. Ferrari used Dunlop (Girling) calipers & rotors on their 250 series cars in...

Did you see the movie "Day Of The Jackal"?

Brake pad rubbing?

That is the same glass fuel filter that Ferrari used in its 3 liter V-12 cars in the '60s. :)

Repair?
