Chris, Glad to hear you're okay. I'd like to hear more about the broken halfshaft. It won't be long until I need to shorten mine. All of the driveshaft shops...
Looks like you had a fun and memorable day despite the scare, which in the end will be part of what made it so special. Kudos on taking the car damage like a...
Ideally, chopping up a halfshaft and welding it together is not the ideal solution. I only put down 60 ft/lbs of torque, so it was worth a go. Car engine guys...
Thanks Pete: There was really nothing to be done, and it wasn't George's fault. He just didn't have the experience base as I. Besides, if it wasn't him, I...
Chris, I think that the torque is 60 foot pounds times your rear end ratio, but I may be wrong. Esko ... From: Chris Fiaccone To: locost_north_america Sent:...
It was a good day and glad we got it sorted out. it really got me fired up to finish my car and run at hallet sooner than Chris thinks ;) FYI We welded up the...
I kind of replied to the wrong thread on this FYI We welded up the shaft using a lincoln ln25 mig welder http://www.weldingmart.com/Qstore/p002186.htm it...
dumped AT&T and went with cable one, which meant I lost my email address. I took a new address on yahoo. I dunno why the FROM still has it, but it is now...
I went with an even longer sleeve- 6" but left the half shafts at full diameter. I then brazed them together in an oven using silver brazing foil. The foil...
Yesterday while driving to work a M10 bolt came loose (fell out). It is one of four that hold the Backing Plate assembly, adjacent to the brake rotor. I fixed...
Nigel, I'll look tomorrow at the local U-Pullit. Last time there they had 3 mid '80s Corollas. Does it make a difference which side? If they still have one...
thanks Larry, That is very kind of you. Come to Atlantic anytime. The Spindle is front left. I'm thinking the torque was too high. I'll be in Honey Creek for a...
Thanks for the replies. Increasing the length of the sleeve makes a lot of sense. Another thing I may look into is to take apart the CV joints, shorten one...
Hi Nigel, You might want to replace both stub axles if one broke. The car that you parted those axles from might have been in an accident at one time or ...
No guarantees, They might not have any however the times I have been there they always seem to have at least 2 and usually 3 Corollas. Bought my T50 from...
I've been running a Mr. Gasket low pressure pump to feed my surge tank. The first one was a leaker even before the car was registered. The second one died...
Greg, My friend and I are both using the Mr. Gasket pumps on our "toys", he has had one failure in approximately 5k miles, mine only has around 1k, so far no...
Larry: I'm interested in a t50 at that price. I'll even pay to have it pulled. Please email me off list if you find one. Hopefully we can come to an...
Most aftermarket (and some OEM) pumps are pretty poor. I would suggest trying to find an OEM, or OEM replacement pump. Have a look at some of the 90s ford V8...
Sorry to have falsely raised hopes. I walked through 3 salvage yards this morning with out seeing a single AE86. I even crawled under a Corolla station wagon...
If you have no luck, I have the following: - Two front spindles (never been in an accident), shortened and capped and threaded for a 3/4" rod end (you pay the...
not sure if you looked into Walbro fuel pumps, but i would suggest that brand. never had any problems with them and i believe they come in all sorts of...
I've seen a lot of Walbro failures myself. I use a Pierburg pump in a few of my cars and they're bulletproof. I think it's an OE application from an Audi. Not...
Thanks Ed, I am so pleased to be associated by this group of like minded people. It should be "only a hobby", but you acted fast, like it was a grounded plane....
I have had one since 2003 and it failed last year. Esko ... From: Mark Fisher To: Locost_North_America@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2008 4:52 PM ...
