I have fitted the following to my UK model 1972 96 (65 BHP) and need to tell the Insurance company how much BHP it will have increased the power by: Weber...
I'd suggest telling them it is less than 10%. There is data to suggest that this is likely... According to factory specifications, when the 96 came fitted...
All, I am taking my flywheel to a machine shop soon and have a couple of questions. What is the minimum thickness at which it is no longer usable, if it has ...
... Two mufflers on the stock system? That front one is just an echo chamber/collector tube. There isn't any baffling in the tube to which the header pipes are...
... Considering that your old engine probably didn't have 65 bhp when you started this project, those parts should make quite an improvement. Andy in PDX OR...
Ok, I am planning on getting a set of my Sonett wheels "prettied up" and it occurred to me that I should check to see which wheels are the straightest to...
More complex than you may think, what really ovals is the inside disc to the rim, tough to see without a high-speed spin. ... _________________________________...
But that would be measured on the micrometer when one does the measurement of the inside lip (Tire off of course). I recall the factory manual has two...
I've always used .660 inches for the "step" between the 2 surfaces-- I've heard anything from .650' to .670' from others, but .660' (or the metric equivalent)...
Lester- Instead of taking the time to make a jig from an upright, just go to your local garage that has a wheel balancer, and ask if you can mount them on it...
Don, I did think about that but info from other lists has made me realize that the bulk of the wheel balancers are not set to handle our steel wheels. Newer...
Well, when you said that you were getting wheels "prettied up", I assumed that they were Soccerballs, not steel- and you're right, they don't fit on modern...
why not just bolt the wheel to the rear axle of the car and spin it ??? if it's bent enough to be a problem, you'll be able to SEE it from looking from the end...
Lester, when I had new tires mounted on the Bugeye's wheels ( Rostyles) the guy asked me if I knew that they were ALL bent. I said to just do the best he...
Hi Michael, I remember finding that number on the saabnet when I had my done some time ago. The message title was "V4 flywheel step height." Here is the...
I forgot to give an answer about minimum thickness. Umm, I have no idea. Seems like there is plenty of meat to grind away, but the number I don't know. I have...
Oh sure.. come up with a quick and easy way to do it... ;-) But the dial is the way the factory said to check it in the manual. Lester ... Oh sure.. come up...
Back in the dark days I remember an attachment that had 5 short arms extending from the center and each one had a gear on it at the center such that if you...
At Sports Car Service I actually mount the wheels to an old SAAB brake drum and that drum has a custom bushing pressed into it that fits the arbor on the...
... Those of us who have them... I do look at it once in a while, but more often to jog my memory on a point in a discussion than to look up a job that I'm...
You know what they say about getting older, things start to fail.... they say the Second thing to go is the Memory..... Now?? What was that First Thing...
I could picture something like an engine stand, with a brake rotor of drum mounted to it, I expect building such a creature wouldn't be hard, but I can't...
Just to measure the relative better-ness and worse-ness of a bunch of wheels? I can't see it being worthwhile for less than 100 wheels. I'd just... Throw a...
Yeah I know, the suggestion of using a car and putting wheels on it seems to be more practical although having a stand or an attachment to an engine stand...
Somehow I suspect you have better donor axle alternatives lying around than that one! ... -- -STEFAN http://www.at-speed.com http://photos.at-speed.com VSCCA...
