The coolant expanson tank on the 61 is kaput. I have checked Dave Bean, BAT, and Pegasus so far with no luck. I have an email out to Lee chapman racing and am...
Al, If you're talking about something that has an 1-1/4 inlet and outlet, are you thinking of the "swirl pot" that goes between the head water outlet and the...
Al, If your referring to the swirl pot..... I've restored two formula Fords that, in each case, had a thoroughly rotted out pot. I simply replaced it with a...
Al, I'm not aware of anyone having them "in stock", except maybe for Peter Denty. Andy Antipas, up in Carbondale, Colorado, is schlepping Denty parts here in...
Al, I didn't think of that. If your still using the frame tubes for runners you might not have enough room for the filler I sent the picture of. Here's a photo...
Gentlemen, Thank you for the inputs. Let's see what we can come up with. Al ... runners you might not have enough room for the filler I sent the picture of....
Happy new year and good racing to everyone. I finally finished the nickel / bronze brazing that I HAD to do on the 61 chassis. I now have steel back under my...
I have .7, 5/8, ¾ for front, rear, clutch. Calipers are Girling 14LF front and 10/8 H rear. (front is pretty common, only some of the 51’s still have...
I think a 3/4" master for the clutch is pretty common. Keep this in mind as it's contrary to what your brain tells you is correct. To move a given volume of...
Thanks guys. I have the same calipers that Carl does, 14 and 12 types. And I understand the science of the hydraulics. I'm just not familiar with this thing...
Your in luck. Since the nose (and the rest of the body) is off my car it was easy to go check. I've got .75" master's on my 61. Also, I use Wilwood master...
Can one of you folks with a 61 that has origial rear uprights do some measuring for me please? This one doesn't need to be super exact but what is the diameter...
I'll check when I "finally" get to the shop. In the meantime, in all likelihood your wanting one side of the car to match the other side? I'm assuming that you...
Hi Listers, I'm currently looking at a 61, but have some concerns about fitting inside. I'm 6 feet and currently 215 with fairly broad shoulders (need to wear...
Dan, You would likely fit into a regular 61 with the high bodywork especially if you took out the seat and sat on padding on the floor, which I have seen ...
Dan, THe MX/f3 is the version with the cut down bodywork I was referring to. One of the limitations of the 61 was the frontal area. The chassis of the 61...
Hi Dan, Kyle has provided you with very good info. My 61 has an early style taller cockpit that came with a narrow opening. My local fiberglass specialist cut ...
Rob, Thanks for the additional infomation. I wear a size 10 shoe and have ~32 inch inseam, so hopefully I wouldn't need to move the pedals. One other thing, is...
Dan, The previous owners of my car had to make some repairs to the right rear corner of the frame. Pat Prince did the work and suggested they upgrade the roll...
Rob, That is how the ones on this are cnfigured, just like in your picture. It does have that just tacked on look and I suspected that the body work would be...
Two drivers - 6'2+ and skinny, 6'1' and about your weight. The heavier of us is a tight squeeze in the 61MX- we took out the seat pad, but left the seat in,...
I believe Al and I are the ones being refered to by Andrew. I am 6' 1"Â 175 and Al is closer to 6'2" and 215. The first 61 came modifiied for a guy who...
Thanks all for your help. I would love to sit in the car, but unfortunately, it is 2000 miles away. From what everyone is telling me, it should work out. Now I...
Well Hi Dan! I also race a 61, and I'm 6 foot and 250 pounds. I have a custom seat and whenever I'm down to 240 actually fit in the original seat. Maybe if you...
Kyle, WOW! Now I"VE learned something today as well! Is the MX/F3 frame the same as a regular 61M? (My car is a 61M per the authentication done by the previous...
