The Curve isnt the issue but the location and rake angle are important, ideally I would like to borrow, or have a drawing from an actual stanchion ! To...
I just made these stanchions yesterday from some aluminum. I bought a CMC windshield from Russ and he kept the stanchions but traced them for me on some...
For location and angle, measure some photographs. That's what I did with my build. The rake of the windshield is one of the things that visually affects a...
... Some measurement: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/skinnyg/DSC00008-1.jpg I matched my windshield angle with the dash angle. Greg "angle matcher...
Nice work, Ed! Sorry, I don't have any Caterham windscreen stanchions. It's funny that you should post this today, though, as I am just starting to plan the...

Hello Shaun Spell decoder mode on, I typo.... I used the shape of the top edge of the dash board and traced around it onto a piece of 1/2 plywood, I glued said...
Shaun, My car is a Lotus 7 / Caterham / DSK clone. I used a Caterham scuttle, side skins and fiber glass in my construction. Made a template out of wood in the...
Hi, Esko. My question is more related to *how* you bent the 3/4" tubing for the dash hoop. Most benders work with a single, fixed radius for a particular size...
Shaun, On the bottom left of the template there is a piece of shiny steel with a hole in it that Is just bigger than the tubing. It is secured with a couple of...
Ed and Esko, Thank you both so much for describing what is obviously a simple and effective method that even an idiot like me can understand! Ed, as you have...
That's basically how I bent the 3/4" round 304 tubing for the part over by the fender/arm area. I made the form from 2x4's because that's what I had laying...

Shaun, I still have the 2x8 that I made the form out of. It does not make much sense to send it to CA. I will trace it out and send it to you. Wednesday I am...
I have an opportunity to go with a different drivetrain than the unknown condition 4AGE and T50 Toyota units that came with my basket case. A friend who is...

You'll have to do engine management and the turbo setup isn't that compact. Don't use headers just use the stock exhaust manifold, it'l handle up to 450HP no...
Actually the 84-86 Stellar was a Cortina MkIII clone with a Mitsubishi engine. The Hyundai Pony has a rear axle the same as the MkII Escort. More info and pics...
Its a heck of a lot bigger than the Toyota stuff. The T5 transmission would be more suited to a plus size chassis I would think. Merkurs did use a T9 which is...
One thing is that this engine is carbed and converted to standard distributor. There is no ECU. Apparently the turbo feeds in UNDER the Ford 2bbl carb so...
I'd be REALLY nervous pulling an engine on that without something to spread the weight evenly across the top pipe. Most kids swingsets (my kids had one just...

The engine is quite heavy at around 350ish pounds. The only other bad thing is they eat starters. And they are about 4 inches or so taller than other engines. ...
Well, I take it all back (gleefully, actually...) at the same time as admitting my own ignorance. The last time I rode a street bike it was a 1982 Kawasaki...
Kerry, I agree with Dave King here. I used to be on contract with several Formula Ford 1600 and F2000 teams. This was when I was a lot younger. I could swing a...
