Hey all, I just wanted to thank you all for your responses. I thought I'd post a follow-up for others with the same problem. I ended up keeping the 6 volt starter and generator as well as the 12 volt battery and voltage regulator. On the dash I have a orange light which I have hooked to the regulato...

I am trying to get the remaining prep done to my vee in hopes to run with the VSCDA at Road America in September. I have been reading through the VSCDA and Monoposto rules and am unclear as to the requirements for on-board fire systems. Currently I have a 2lb fire extinguisher located on the floor u...

So do either of you know if running a 6V Generator, 12V voltage regulator and 12V battery will work. It looks like my starter is ...

The first advice I had received was (a) so I currently have...

I just acquired the car and have dropped out the oil that was in it, but I guess that won't be part of the norm...

I recently purchased a vintage vee and have been trying to clean up some of wiring, etc. Currently the oil filter is mounted horizontally on the frame of the car (see photo of black filter) I was thinking of mounting the oil filter vertically between the engine and the firewall (see photo of white f...
