Does anyone recognize this VEE. It is really well built but has a very strange engine/transaxle mount. The engine is hard mounted at the lower front mount and the transaxle is mounted only at the top with no frame underneath. The steering box is also strange and the front beam mounts between 2 frame...

I can use those mirrors on the Zeitler Neil!!!! The battery mount too! You just gotta love those saddle tanks!

Neil,

I'll take the battery box and the bullet mirrors! Should have asked about the box when you were in FL last week!

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I have a 1915 with dual Delorttos so it is not quite legal but it has one nasty power band!

If you flip it flywheel side down on the floor, you could build a nice lamp for the living room. Give it to your wife for an anniversary gift. I am sure it will be one she will never forget (neither will you!!!)

Great photos. Thanks for posting. It looks like one of the V's is running dual webers. I thought you could only run one?

Makes a great start to an engine test stand....

Some photos of Richards D13 at Tavares Fl. Nice Job Richard! http://www.usarmysignalcorps.com/photos/pic1.jpg http://www.usarmysignalcorps.com/photos/pic2.jpg http://www.usarmysignalcorps.com/photos/pic3.jpg http://www.usarmysignalcorps.com/photos/pic4.jpg http://www.usarmysignalcorps.com/photos/pic...

Got a chance to meet a fellow board member and great vee guy today. Richard (RFickes)has built a great solo vee and is very proud of it (I would be too). A lot of time went into building it and it shows. Glad I was there to capture it on camera and video. He and his VEE did very well for the first t...

I will try to see you there tomorrow.

So when and where are you going to run it? I would like to come see it on it's first run.

Did you ever figure out why your front end was binding? What was the problem and fix?

Wish I had known you had a transponder... Still looking for one.

No problem. I should have made it clear in my first message. I have been getting a lot of PM's with questions. I think this will clear it up.

My Mistake. I spelled out what I was looking for in one of the other threads and did not copy it over to this new one. After more than 10 years of film making, one fact is true... You can NEVER have enough footage. I would rather go thru 4 hours of video and get 4 minutes of excellent quality film. ...

My set of rain tires has tubes in them but my slicks do not. Do you need them or just an extra weight? I know it depends on whether your wheels can seal well but if they don't, do you add tubes or find new wheels?

I have a 1600 long block with replacement 040 heads that look very good. It is an AE code dual oil relief engine and is complete from pulley to flywheel, Clutch and pressure plate. No tin. Never had it apart and it spins over nice. $250 but it has to be picked up. No shipping. I am in central Florid...

An extra FV engine came with my 72 Zink. It is supposed to be a NOBLE but I can not find any markings other than a W under the oil cooler. Is there a particular place I show look for a rebuilders stamp? I am in the middle of taking it apart. here is what I have A F1 code factory replacement 1600 blo...

Is a 4 gallon fuel cell (Fc-140) big enough for most tracks or should I spend then extra 20 and put the 5 gallon FC-150 in if I have room?

GOOD NEWS! Fred Clark called me and we have worked out a FV rental for the February Double Drivers School at Roebling Road! In case you have not had the pleasure of meeting or talking to Fred, he is one of the most knowledgeable FV guys in the world. He is also a very nice person and a great guy to ...

That worked. That looks just like my Zink frame except mine also has a bar that comes down the back hoop and bolts to the transaxle. It holds up that GINORMOUS rear hump-back body. I think thats the Speedway or Daytona body. Thanks for the photo.

Once you get the 2 races in and you have your regional license, is there any requirement, other than the medical, to run a certain amount of SCCA Races? Does racing with other groups like Vintage groups count in any way toward a SCCA requirement?

Fred Clark at Caracal does have a FV rental and he is going to call me tomorrow to see if we can work something out. At least I have abunch of options at this point and I have some time to decide which way to go. I really appreciate all the great advice especially from those who have been in my shoe...
