John, With my driveshafts level my donuts have no angle in them between the input and output surfaces, but they are stretched quite a bit to meet the two...
Install spacers, washers, etc, as required on each side of the donuts and yokes so they are straight. Other than that it sounds like you've done a good job. ...
Poll - who runs spacers behind their donut yokes to release the side to side stretch? I've looked at a lot of 51/61 photos and a handful of cars, but only seen...
Here is a photo of one of my donuts, axle (mostly out of sight under frame), axle saver, and following the pretty red lines you arrive at...... SPACERS! Lots...
Just a thought from out in left field, what about shortening the length of the lower 'A' arm and top camber link? How for out of the arm does the rod end sit? ...
Rob, That could feasibly work, but..... Even with my axle savers I've still got close to 1/2" of spacing. Yea, you could lengthen/shorten the rod ends on the...
Hi folks. Brand new on the site here and just wanted to introduce myself. I've just met a couple of you on here through vintage racing and know, or know of, a...
Get rid of it immediately, there is still time for you to escape.........hundreds of thousand dollars, a couple of divorces, a mis spent youth.........all you...

Hi Mark, Well, welcome to the fold! I've been racing my '61 for six years now, and while I would like to move up to something faster, dollar for dollar and...
Welcome Mark! I've been going thru a similar experience to you on a 51 that hadn't been touched since 1978. I'll gladly give you opinions, but watch out as I...
My next door neighbor (Loyus 47) was complaining about the fact that neither metric nor SAE wrenches fit his BSP pipe fittings. He 'miked' the flats and they...
I use one made by Crescent. One size fits all. :) -Kyle P.S. Sorry couldn't resist....

Dean, The wrenches are marked Whitworth or British Standard (BSF) The size typically used on oil coolers and such will be in the range of 7/16 or 1/2". These...
Maybe it's that time of year! Going through my FB car I discovered a torn donut, so I've decided to make the centering post like Taylor sells. This version is...
Carl: Perhaps this is some sort of joke and I missed the punch line, but unsanforised axles that shrink when they get wet? A spray can of 3M sanforizing spray?...
Well, I got the 61 ready enough to run the Spring Brake event at Gingerman, MI and it was a great experience. However, throughout the weekend I had chronic...
Hey Doug...nice to meet you. I'll forward this on to Stretch, he might get back to you. Hope all is back together for Blackhawk , in a month. Even more fun...

Doug, While I'm not versed on the specifics of the Tilton pressure plate, 'a clutch is a clutch...'. But a couple of the issues you bring forth: 1. Make sure...
Since no one has mentioned it, are you using the high temp brake fluid for racing or regular DOT stuff? It's a silly simple thing often overlooked but will...
Good theories. I am using hi-temp racing fluid and the line is routed far from the exhaust. I'll re-bleed the line this weekend to ensure that there is no air...
generally if the slave starts fail it will leak. ... From: dougboston@... To: lffr@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tue, 8 May 2007 10:36 AM Subject: Re: [lffr]...
I think Carl is on the mark with his clutch comments. Recently, I had problems with my clutch pedal going away over the course of a race weekend. I race a Mk6...
In my final bit of dissmanteling I found something a bit odd. I'd have to be back out by the car to be positive but I think this is on the REAR inner pivot...
My 51 has the same and all that I know of. I think they came from a TR4 and I assume that the taper is to make a "fitment" for the arm. It won't go anywhere....
