re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

If you tossed a screwdriver into both a Gorilla compound and a Orang compound, the Gorilla wouldn't notice it for weeks until he sat on it. The Orang would use it to escape within 15 minutes....

Just to bring this back on topic, seems to me you could say the same thing about Ferrari owners and GT40 owners, respectively.

But Alan, which is which?

Call Don Wendlich at Isspro. He can tell you what you need to do in order to get a sender made with the resistance profile that you will need.

Thanks James!
I have been away a few days from the forum after my trip from the US last Sunday, then Tuesday in Barcelona, Thursday to the Revival and back to Madrid Sunday morning, drove Sunday afternoon to Huelva, in southern Spain for a meeting on Monday at Monteblanco race track and today finally at home in Madrid!
It´s been a busy week...

Keep working. I want to see that beauty rolling soon.
Take care!

HI james,
Were these the follow up rods from the SK 34375 units ??

G'day Peter,
Jay will know more about these rods. See his advice below.

I got a bargain this week - a NOS set of standard ZF-1 gears (see the tag addressed to the great man himself - Mr Len Bailey)
I'm sending these out for cleaning and polishing.

Nice work, are they the ones that were on ebay?

Hi James,

Good to hear from you and sorry to hear about your ligament.

So, you found some alternatives to the fuel hoses. I am looking forward to see some pictures.

Get well soon!

All the best
JP

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

Looking fabulous! What size of tires are they? Cheers

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

Square, in that they are as wide as tall. Just kidding.

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

Good one Jim!

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

IAN,
The tyres are DUNLOP Racing CR82 - 5.30 / 15.00-15
On origInal 15" X 12” wide wheels.

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

Don't drive those in the rain....those are bias-ply tires like the originals, aren't they?

 

[JimmyMac]

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

Jim,
These tyres are only temporary to get the chassis down on the deck. We have a bit more to do before we hit the bricks ! :laugh:

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

I had a set of those... Radial TAs that were mostly to keep the chassis off the road until I got some driving tires on the wheels. They are going to end up on someone's Camaro or GTO, I think- I traded them off.

Alistair's chassis looks great. Some of those bits look like they hail from Maine, USA, I think.

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

Jim,
Thus far, all suspension and wheel parts are originals.
