Re: Share your FV 50th Photos...

I would have to say it was well atteneded but NOT well run. Just my 2 cents. I was in Group 1 Vintage. 40 some cars in Group 1 and 4 cars in Group 5. Stupid Stupid. They were concerned more about the modern cars than the true Vintage Vees. Plus the management was the most unhelpful and unhappy bunch...

Link pin shims with angled bushings

I have angled link pin bushings installed on the front end.
Do I still use the total of 10 shims per link pin or would I
have to add more because of the angled bushings?

Well I found the problem.It was not thicker shoes. As I was installing my old drums I checked to make sure the shoes were installed ok. I noticed that one of the new angled adjuster screws was thicker on the high side than the other by around 1/16" to 3/32". I pulled the other screws off a...

Problem with Carbotech shoes install

I am installing a new set of Carbotechs on my vintage vee. I also have a new set of German Drums.
When I install the drums I can barely spin them once I install the bearing nuts. Should
I get the drums tuned down and if so how much? It seems like the new shoes are thicker
than stock.

Re: Tool Recommendation for axle snap ring

I just took a pair of old needle nose pliers and grinded down
the ends to fit the hole in the ring.
They worked perfect. Regular snap ring pliers are to flimsy.
