    Parking brake linkage - help!

    Not very clear in my shop manual... It shows all the components, but not exactly how that lever fits to the car. I think the lever is called the equaliser.

    Diameter of harmonic balancer? - Timing problem

    Thanks for the kind offer Jerry, but I was hoping to do something for this weekend - hence I was hoping to knock something up on CAD. Anyway, NPD list the balancer as being 6 5/16" diameter, so what's 0.0625" between Stangers? Any more ideas on what I should be setting my timing at anyone?

    Parking brake linkage - help!

    OK, So I got the cable that comes from the stupid under-dash umbrella thing poking through the firewall, and I've got the cable from the rear brakes to the u shaped bracket and a threaded rod (with a dog leg in it) under the car. From the parts books I can see that I need a pivot bracket, which...

    Diameter of harmonic balancer? - Timing problem

    OK, timing tape sounds like a good way to go, but don't I need to know the diameter of the pulley / balancer so I get the right tape, or does it come in different spacings for various diameters in one pack? I'm getting the feeling that 6 degrees is a little too retarded, I'll be using 96 RON...

    Diameter of harmonic balancer? - Timing problem

    OK, I'm sooooo close to getting my 289 2V V8 started in my '66. Whilst setting the valve clearances I noticed that I only have TDC marked on the balancer, and that is very feint. I've picked it out with some yellow paint, and the pointer on the timing chain cover, but I need to know where 6deg...

    The SN65 project car

    Best of luck guys - I've been wrong before on this project, like the vent on the front flares (I love it now). I'm preparing to be wrong again...

    Looking for ideas to go from ordinary to extrodinary!

    As 65 says - mod the lights. Mini Cooper headlights aren't round and are raked anyway. I suggest a halogen conversion, bin the H4 lamps and get a HID conversion. That way you get that cool bluey-white headlamp. LEDs have to be the way to go with turn signals, stop/tail and back-up lamps. On...

    Someone explain to a Brit about Trick or Treat...

    When I was a kid, we never really had trick or treat, and hallowe'en wasn't much we bothered about. Time goes by and the kids over here are really into trick or treating now, but I think they've got it all wrong. My son is now showing interest in hallowe'en, and I'd like to know from the...

    Edelbrock Wheels on ebay, but hang on, I smell something...

    ...I saw this on ebay (the UK site) and got all excited. Then I noticed that they are in China (if they exist at all). http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8008224252&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 I checked the feedback, which is just crazy, and the only bidder (at...

    The SN65 project car

    Krash is right - I know I'm in no position to pass comment (but that hasn't stopped me before...) but that gear lever gaiter idea would surely spoil the car. If you don't want to go the headlamp bowl route, get the guy who did your aluminium dash peices to knock something up... By the way...
