    Vector and force analysis

    I have a problem with my 930 clutch settings and maybe you guys can help me out. I am trying to set the clutch slave cylinder and pivot bar. For simplicity I have labeled the pivot bar as the long free floating arm, short central shaft rotating arm and central shaft. The long arm lines up...

    Woody's new project

    Hi Guys I'm Woody from New Zealand and this is the first stage of the build. The body comes from Australia DRB in Brisbane, with the front and rear clips and doors hung. This suited me because Im an engine builder and fiberglass just makes me itchy, so I could get stuck straight into the nuts...

    Parking brakes

    Eric, I too am one who think that an e-brake is a personnal need unless state laws regulate it, as I don't think it is necessary except for the stated reasons seen here on this thread. If you are so paranoid that a piece of debris will sever both lines, then you should consider where the lines...

    Budgeting for a DRB

    I agree with Dimi in that you have asked a question that is so hard to answer. Parts such as the corvette suspension and brake package are expensive in Australia but very resonable in the US. Steering rack and column are cheep as cheep locally. The price of the rest of the build will be directly...

    5 point harness mounting

    I am about to start the mounting of my 5 point harness. In the DRB chassis, the center and outside mounts are part of the chassis. The upper shoulder restraints are another matter. There is a section of the bulkhead just under the rear bulkhead window that appears to be where they should be...

    ...years and models that used it. It is a reverse action shifter(shift forward and the mechanism pushes the cable to the rear).

    Master cylinder sizing

    Bill, See attached spreadsheet for what I used with my DRB. Short answer is, use 5/8" master cyl if you don't want a hard pedal and don't mind some pedal travel. Mine does not have a hard pedal, and is very easy to modulate, albeit with a fair amount of pedal travel. Got to bleed brakes up...

    930 shift pattern and cable shift question

    Thomas, Sorry I missed your post from the other day. The shifter footprint is 3 1/2" square. The pieces for the connections can be cut and welded any way you would like them. The neutral gate arm(on outside) has a double bend that moves it away from the body of the shifter. I was having some...

    MK1 dual Nostrils

    A lot of the manufacturers did the dual scoops. Most if not all used the short depth on the nostrils. Orignial? I don't know, nor do I care. I have to ride in it and I want it to be as pleasureable as I can for me and my passenger. I have DRB #5 which was manufactured by Dennis Bedford before...
