Update: Kyle Wolski over at Black Rock Fab helped me out. He had the dxf files on hand to do the conversion as featured on "Hank's Deuce". It uses F550 calipers all the way around, and B700 rotors all the way around.
Unfortunately, he didn't have some of the materials on hand to fab a set of...
I already tracked Keith down on Facebook, the long way around. He's not accepting new messages, as of this afternoon, and has nothing on the auction site. Also searched C&C, and all the usual suspects... didn't find anything from them.
This is NOT a pro/con thread comparing drums and discs. Have spent long HOURS searching, reading, studying on the subject until I'm blue in the face, and not interested in entertaining anyone's opinion about which is better, or why. Also, not asking to join in a technical discussion, which has...
Great price! I was in need recently, and thought I had searched everywhere...missed this one. Bought four cases from Rock Auto; 12oz bottles, $4.87 ea., 6 per case. Total was $148.36 including shipping and tax for 2.25 gallons. Ya win some, and ya lose some! 😅
Reading up on adjusting the valves. Lots of info also relating to adjusting the rack. Noticed at least two forum members mention having the tool set. Wondering if anyone with the set would consider loaning it out? Postage paid both ways, of course!
Took a look at the situation today on both a steel hood, and a fiberglass. The steel will be easy-peasy...just drill out the old rivet, pop on a new one. And luckily most of the washers are in much better shape than I remembered:
All except for the bottom washers on the side panels, some of...
Agreed! My 99 has a fiberglass hood, and it's ok. Weighs about the same as the steel hood. Unfortunately, somebody busted off the corner hold-down...and tried to fix it with Bondo! So have some glass repair to look forward to... 😏 Last I checked a N.O.S. fiberglass is about $800! So I'm...
That's a good point. Pretty sure rattle can is good up to 200. I've used it for touching up automotive applications that get at least that hot. Have some tractor/implement paint in CAT yellow I'm going to use to touch up the valve cover...and the camo green I used on the thermostat housing...
That's a good question, glad you asked! Well...I used some flex seal on a pair of insulated pack boots one time to waterproof. Worked ok, except it cracked pretty soon in the creases and folds where the fabric flexed. But I figure the insulation blanket doesn't flex, so it should be ok...
Yes! Excellent info! Looks like that's JC Sales, which comes up as a parts supplier in other search hits. Much better price, and best of all they list the measurements I was looking for:
Tubular Component Diam.: 3/16
Grip Range: 7/8 to 1-1/16
Head Diameter: 3/8
Material: All Steel
L1 Rivet...
Anybody know the dimensions for this little gem? All the black coating has cracked and blow off the insulation blanket, which I would like to take off and recoat. And there is rust-through beginning to show on the split steel hood, which will need repair.
I have the part number for the rivet...
