Hello, So we are going to tackle the brakes now. We had a power assisted brake system with the Ford 1.3 engine, it is now not working properly and requires...
Sloan: I may have my terminology confused. I'm referring to the actual axle that goes into the CV joint as the 'halfshaft' and the CVs as a 'CV'. If I'm not...
I bought some to use on my rear levered inboard suspension. I also bought two for the front pushrod system that I'm now not using. These are pretty cheap to...
Esko, The wheelbase of an Eleven is 85 inches. The overall length is 11 feet, 2 inches. Front track is 3 feet 10 and rear is 3 feet 11. The spec I love is...
Oops. I'm obviously not acquainted with the unique features of bike engines. I thought the "hydraulic" was referring to the actuation, not that it was a wet...
A CV joint is essentially a fancy universal joint. A halfshaft is the shaft that runs from the diff to the hub, sometimes called an axle. I'm not sure if axles...
Dennis, I thought the Series 1 was at 85" and the Series 2 was 88". I'm almost positive i've seen this in the road tests from the '50s. Cheers, Rod -- In...
Rod, Sharp eye, you are right. The data panels I found for Esko first were for the S1. Meantime, I've looked further and found the S2 did have a 7 foot 4...
I'm showing rebuilt cv axles (at Napa) for $75ish. I just looked up a 95 real quick but all of them should be similiar prices Daniel ... the shaft ... not...
Cool thats what I wanted to know since it LOOKED like the half shafts had both joints ... but the joint itself cost nearly as much as the halfshaft. -Sloan ......
... allways have the oil that the linings call for. Learned long ago that all wet faceings require a grit to the oil and the maker usually knows best. Have ...
I replaced the axles in my 95 miata, as part of a rear overhaul. Napa, Advance and Autozone were all unable to provide axles that were even close to the...
Porsche, If you want to be precise about your selection you need to account for several things that are specific to your build. These include the weight...
They may just be narrowing their focus. From the article linked: "In recent years the company has become totally focused on racing activities with the superb...
I am about to go down this road myself. If you want to plod through the numbers and get some good reaing on the subject, you might want to take a look at the...
I'll add my vote to use Mike's spreadsheet. I entered my numbers and installed the suggested master cylinder sizes, and pedal pressure is just right. Other...
... The Kawasaki clutch is pretty forgiving, but car installation takes more forgiveness than a bike installation. Mind you, I haven't mounted a bike engine ...
So, i'm now rethinking the front suspension on my "new" project. My question is to do with caster (obviously). I've been looking at the front ends of the...
I'm not sure I fully understood what you mena by "rotating the pickups", but if you mean the pickup points for the a-arm end up at different heights, this ...
... Ted Some of us are crazy enough to add both anti-dive an anti-squat. The anti-dive will help if you are building a road car and do not plan on using heavy...
Ted, Your kinda onto what i'm asking about. The pick up points are parallel, but the front pick ups for the upper and lower points are higher in the "y" axis...
As for the KPI on my current project, i'm limited to the Spitfire KPI, which i found out is incorrect in the Triumph tech specs, but correct in both the Lotus...
... Aha! That one has a cable actuator, doesn't it? So you're using the term "hydraulic" clutch to mean "wet" clutch, or "constantly oiled." I think I'll ask ...
It's good to hear that sheet is useful, thanks guys. Of course most it is stuff I learned or was prompted to learn from talking you all on this list. The...
G'Day Rod, You are correct in your observation that the 7 front suspension was rotated around the spindle because of the trunnion bottom joint. It was the only...
This thread has been golden! it has constantly made my day. Best of luck on the clutch! but please clear this up for us. Actuation?: cable or hydraulic seems...
