Thanks for that Ron… Unfortunately there’s no “magic button” we can push that will bypass the rules encoded in the forum software for a single person.

I think you might mean @Randy Folsom …. So from your measurements, you should have .850 from the end of the crank to the face of the balancer hub as installed..

Pressure gauge suspect? How is your float level setting?

I’ve used 12v bilge blowers to boost the airstream to my rotors on a couple of my racecars. Like this one -...

Mark - it sounds like perhaps you still have some varnish on the contacts. I recall having to use very fine emery cloth on them along with contact cleaner. I just can’t recall the exact electrical function of the switch in circuit…

Speaking from experience - skip the AMP gauge and find a suitable Voltmeter. There are some that look very much like the original Amp gauge, but I couldn’t tell you where to find them right-off..

Are they all the way up against the front edge of the alloy chassis? I couldn’t tell from your photos. My tires rubbed those sill covers when turning them, so that’s how I found out.

My sill covers needed to be shifted all the way rearward to start the body alignment process over again - once I had the front end rough-aligned. The positive caster shifts the spindle rearward a little ways.

Possibly from the original tank install at the factory? Thinking NPT fitting screwed into the tank. NPT threads is the only place I use that stuff..

Check that the threads go all the way to the bottom of the holes. I’ve been bit by that snake before…

I think I’d probably weld up the holes that the upper brackets are bolted to and drill new holes about 1/4” further rearward. Perhaps find some heim joints with thinner balls?

Good to read you again Chris! Please consider becoming a vendor once again!

Sounds right! When I set up our racecars, I usually ended up between 6.5 and 7° and if aero was right, we were quite stable…

Lynn - I moved your initial build thread from Introductions to the Lola lounge. I am not able to combine the various threads you have started - please don’t start new threads with info that’s applicable to your build. Thanks..

Bumping and trying to combine posts..

RCR40 I built had something like 5.5° positive caster with the lower control arms shimmed all the way forward and the upper control arms shimmed all the way rearward.

Good to see this update Lance! This is a very interesting driveline combination!

Thanks Chris.. I guess it was this photo that prompted my question about a leveling system.

What an amazing trip! Thanks for sharing the photos! ?? Are you thinking about an automatic leveling system ??
