Re: D-13 Body Mold

Mark, It's a two piece mold, slit down the middle. I would pick up 20-30 C-clamps from Harbor Freight and assemble it, using filler in the seam. If done with a little care, you will produce a very nice panel. It's been some years since I popped a panel but the process doesn't change. Use fresh mate...

Re: Av gas

It's a liability for the company selling the av fuel to put it in cans because they could be contaminated and could cause a aircraft to crash if it's put in a aircraft, that's why most companies will not sell unless they have reg numbers of a plane showing that it went from the fuel truck to the air...

Re: Minimum Weight Survey

I am a driver who is 250lbs now and I was 275lbs when I purchase my Vee in 8/09. Being way over weight does 2 positive things for me. 1st I have the motivation now to loose some lbs and get in better shape to live longer. 2nd it will force me to drive that much better. I realize some drivers that ar...

this gauge has a limit switch that can be set for a specific temp to power a light. I have used these and they are good to great gauges.

That is a pretty cool gauge

Re: Oil temp warning light with oil temp gauge

cool thanks I was going to run a T with both senders but the really would not be in oil flow so I would rather not run a t fitting. My engine is set up with the SR block and stock cooler but I don't have extra hole. There is a spot next to the distributor. There is one on the side of the block next ...

The warning light only goes on when there is something wrong it should be distracting.

I have a temp gauge and have the sender in the place where most everyone puts it (front lower right of the block) I need to find a spot for a second sender.

Oil temp warning light with oil temp gauge

Anyone running a oil temp warning light along with a oil temp gauge? I want to run both because where I mount gauge I can not see it very good. The problem I'm having is locateing a good spot to put the warning light sender.

Re: Refinishing rear springs

I used a bench grinder with a wire wheel on it, that way the spring is not changed in anyway. then I just used Krylon tough coat primer and paint. They look like new springs for about 1 hour of time and $8 in paint.
