Jonathans RCR 40 Build

[Jonathan Strain]

I got the breathers from a Marine Supply store. I don't remember where but I don't think you will have troubles finding them. Marine Supply is also a good place to source the fuel filler hoses.

Jim, I plan on running the Dragon in it next year.

 

[Chuck]

West Marine, Model 138792, chrome plated brass that fits a 5/8" hose. $10.99. Described as a "thru-hull vent."

 

[Chuck]

If you want true roll over vents, which fit a 5/16" hose (likely a better match for the threaded vent in the RCR) check these out. This is what I am using.

I highly recommend the ones Chuck mentions from Street Rods by Michael. I have them and will use them again.

 

[Ron McCall]

That's what I have as well.

 

[chris parker]

[Jonathan Strain]

Those are the same as the roll over valve that I am using.

Today was the big day. The car moved under its own power for the first time. It took a while to sort the shifter out. I could not get first gear. A bolt for attaching the shifter cable heim joint to the sector shaft was bottoming out against the transaxle before it got to the gate for first gear. Once I cut a few threads off the bolt I was good to go.

 

[Ron Earp]

Awesome and congratulations!!!

Where did you source your half shafts?

 

[Jonathan Strain]

I got them from Fran.

 

[Ron Earp]

Got you, I just didn't know if the 01E bits were troublesome to get or not.

[Jonathan Strain]

I'm running on 016 not an 01E.

 

[Ron Earp]

Doh! Indeed you are in the pictures! I don't know what I was thinking. My fault.

 

[Rob]

OK Jonathan...so I'll be the first to ask....where's the vid man. We have become quite accustomed to having sound bites and vid ya know.....

BTW congrats on the maiden voyage.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Ron et al....
there's a huge order of axles manufactured and everyone will have access to them ...
I have been sending out one-sie two-sies to have them check fitted with the various transaxle packages being used..

 

[Jonathan Strain]
