Steve not to be argumentative but truthful. Try this math for 2012 120 sets of tires X $0 = $0

Dave

If they do a weight increase survey I hope it isn't as biased.

Dave

And don't forget to shorten your bearing locating pins!

Buy a new case.

Stupid question here. Did you take the clips out of the P.P.? Maybe with no free play you are forcing fluid past the seals in the slave. No movement possible.

That plate will probably work for balancing, but will not be strong enough for tire changing. Check the balance on the plate alone, adjust as necessary.

I have had 3 Van Diemen FC cells repaired at Hartwick, all were around $450. They wrapped the bottom and 2-3 inches up the sides as they were all seeping fuel. All were ATL 2001- 2005 cells.

Dave

Send your cell to hartwig for repair. They are reasonable and can repair all most any cell. They are in Canada

That is a 12volt starter. You will need to install the proper starter drive to use it on a VEE. LRE sells them.

Dave

Sorry for the delay, can't get logged in at work. Jim is correct the Hi Torque starter is 6 1/4" the starter on the right the light weight starter is 5 3/4" long .

Dave

Here are various starters I can measure the 12v tomorrow http://www.flickr.com/photos/42527415@N07/3920849627/

CONGRATS RON!!!!

You can loose about 7lbs. by putting in a super light weight starter. Better than giving up the beer for a month.

Dave

I would guess you replaced the cam or lifters at your last rebuild. They were mis-matched . Wore the lobes of the cam.

Dave

Now that is a place where you can add a small dab of grease. I used Red Line. Keep the axle pushed in, as the fulcrum plate will slip behind the axle and out of place causing your problem.

Dave

If your tranny builder is telling you to grease the bearings or they come pre-greased , GET A NEW TRANNY BUILDER! Or please come race in the upper mid west.

Dave

Don't forget Brew for the Crew.

Check with a local Fire Protection company, that services fire extinguishers. I found a guy that stopped by 15 minutes after we called, picked up the bottle re-charged (top off ) the nitrogen and brought the gauge back into the green. $10. Most bottles can be refilled. I had 2 bottles filled at Tran...

Mike was fitted several years ago by Dr.Hubbard. He has a Vortec and was sold a 40Hans. Here is a interesting pdf.

Mark, look at this link. http://formulavee.org/interchange/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3366 I started using the heavy gear reduction starter several years back. I have now moved on to the light weight gear reduction 12 volt starter. Bob at LRE sells the starter drive that I have developed. Brian is cor...

I have used the bearings for years. I only use one washer, the other side rides on the spacer. You can't run the cheap aluminum spacer in this application. FYI the washers are available in at least 3 different thickness. I also run the bearings on all my link pins. Dave

BRP usually has pipes available for his systems. Who's pipes do you have? What pipe dia.? Mike's systems have 1 5/8" pipes.

Dave

The news release I read said it was to be a purpose built track, no mention that it would only be used for F1.

Dave

The light can be kind of distracting I just use a gauge, and if it gets to hot you fix it by putting a piece of race tape over it.

Dave

Sounds like not enough end play.
