    A T70 spyder dimension question - height of front wheel arches?

    Hi Fred I know its not a spyder but I could always measure up the nose section on the coupe if that helps. I have heard the the standard MK3 nose is very similar. I could only do the top of the arch to wheel opening measurement as its not on the car etc. Cheers Joe

    CANAMSA - SA stratch build

    Thats the one for me, when you are working on something completely from scratch with no patterns its so hard to walk away and do something else as you keep looking and seeing improvements, but you really have to walk away and get on with another section sometimes. I took not far short of six...

    Possible emerging trends on Forum?

    Securing / Bolting Seats in a Tornado

    If a car ever gets airbourne and hits the deck the force of your bodyweight is transmitted downwards through the floor, most seat belts only restrain you towards the back and down. No belts actually take your weight and suspend you! So your seat does do some work! You cant truly beleive you...

    302 failure - any opinions???

    That looks like bearing material to me, although that is quite a lot of material, big end or main bearing are normally the main culprits, does the 302 have a thrust bearing on the crank like smaller Ford engines? Could it be a small end bearing if its just a clatter? inspection of bottom end...
