Buy Saslow's Womer. At his price you can't get hurt,and you'll have a car that can run in the lead if you can drive it.

Cornish lives in Reno and still has Petunia. Ron Chuck has his number.

I bought one and it has been flawless,spins the starter fast and will last through a 3 day event with no jumper or recharge. Left it on it's charger all winter without a care. Fired up and ran a full test day and a double in March, came home and let it sit for a month and it still starts.

Aside from the sealing issue,I spoke to a Hoosier engineer a few years ago regarding how old a sticker tire could go and still grip. Response was quite good up to 2 years,ok until three,throw it away after 3. Opinion will vary,but I found that the old stickers literally tell the story - old browned ...

What jet change to go from avgas to E10?

Les Wildgoose developed a bearing lube system in 1983 using sewing machine oil and found that his car speed increased markedly, but only under braking when the light oil soaked his linings.

Has anyone installed the new shoes? I called Monday and was told no new shoes have been assembled.

You should recognize for future reference that the people responding to your inquiry are firstly trying to help you and secondly in the parts business. To take their advice and then buy the suggested part elsewhere may result in your supply of advice diminishing next time.

I agree with Mark. Adjustment on 4 wheels takes 15 minutes tops.With a good brake system including leverage that will lock the wheels at will,the limitation is tire grip not drum brakes. In trying to help those with weak brakes,more often than not the pushrod lengths,bias bar,over-center pedal or a ...

Brian H Admittedly this stuff is arcane to anyone with modern brake experience,BUT managing this obsolete system is a competitive advantage while discs remain out of the equation.

Brian - I rotate each weekend but often have a hard time figuring which shoe to which location based on wear,leading or trailing,etc. Do you have a system,i.e left top shoe to right bottom? Or maybe just inverting on the same side? Get it wrong and you'll have a big wear taper quickly.

Sorry to see LRE come to an end - always first with the best advice and parts. Best to you,Bob. Bob and Quinn Posner

Looking for a set of Koni 2911's for a vintage Titan ff - any leads appreciated. New ones are $2500/set if you can believe that. Thanks Bob Posner

Jess # changed to 503 407 3854 He has p2 molds,no P3

Seems ridiculous to conceive of increasing the machined groove to 2.5mm and then spacer it back to 2.0mm. for those of us using the Chinese piston. How is this in the class's best interest?

M+H had a big market share until a quality control issue in about 1985 when the a big batch of tires were horrible and people scrambled to find alternatives in a hurry. I remember calling Marvin(the M) who said a window had been left open and a raw batch was affected - anyhow,they never really recov...

Jess Heitman 503 282 0159 has a p2 mould and made a new tail for me this month -gorgeous.

As I recall the result was to lower the pushrod that also leveled the stroke from what had been misaligned originally. Tiago has this car and maybe could send you a pic.

When I had a Caracal with the stock VW pedal cluster I had to change the pedal fulcrum point to decrease the required pressure. Couldn't lock a wheel and it became like power brakes with the change. Added an inch or so to the pedal stroke.

The new Goodyear is a great tire. If cost is the driver of a spec tire,both GY and Hoosier should be invited into competition. I've seen no difference in life of either aside from the Hoosier being able to withstand sliding and very aggresive use in an individual session better. This fact points out...

Post this on Apexspeed to get a reply from Steve Lathrop who designed the system.

I had a line failure on a P2 and the divided reservoir preserved function for the unaffected brakes. I'd use the dedicated small clutch reservior so as to not lose rear brakes in the event of a clutch line or slave failure.

Ahhh,Brian applies what the therapist suggested would make him some new friends.....

Rebuilt set of five. Ten inches compressed,13.5 extended. A rare find for a period correct car. $900 for the set. Bob Posner 425 453 9136

Depends on whether you use the mean,mode,or median...
