wow!
nice job.

Thanks, after looking at the Cobra Automotive page, I went to our local bearing store and found that bronze bushing. I asked the guy if he had a sealed bearing with the same ID. He showed me an R-14 2-RS bearing, I had the bronze bushing in one hand and the bearing in the other. I like making my own stuff and I thought to myself, ''putting a bearing in there would be a lot more work, but way cool, and it won't ever need grease!'' so I gave him the bronze bushing back and bought the bearings.

John's roller perches are one of the best upgrades I put on the 66. The front end is so much better. I wish I would have thought about rollerizing the whole front end when I was rebuilding it. Now I'll have to wait for something to go so I have a legitimate reason for swaping out all the parts.

With Jon's ( Opentracker ) help I made a set. Next is the sturt rods. Now I can hook on chitty tracks with 28 psi with street slicks.

Which strut rods did you use?? I to am after teh 11sec goal LOL... plus 1.25 around the road course. The car is a weekend warrior LOL

I haven't yet. But I think I am going to just sleeve a hime ( spelling ? )joint onto the stocker.

Just curious.....why aren't the aftermarket vendors producing these ?

 

[mustangman70]

They are, mustangs unlimited carries them, way too expensive IMO but i would rather give my money to a fellow stanger

I think mine are competitively priced but that is JMHO.

The 68+ will be ready in about a week.

What do those run ?
I seem to have more money than time now a days. Not that I have a whole lotta money, but no time.

I believe the going rate is $175.

I wonder why no one has done this in the past 40 years? I don't have an answer for either question.

That is the new lower rate for the roller perches, including shipping in the 48 states.

No, no. I already have those. I mean for Glen's strut rod setup. Or was that what you were referring to ?

 

[2bav8]

Oops, I was refering to the roller perches. I have no idea about Glen's strut rod setup.
