  3. 2b Pinto Radiator Positioning

    in Mechanics

    Posted

    Hi Sam's Dad, Welcome to the Forum.

    Most people with 2B's and the Coolman Rads opt to incline the rad.

    Not ideal but sufficient cooling can be obtained with suitable cowling fabricated in front of the rad so that as much air as possible gets channelled to the rad.

    Pictures tell a thousand words as they say. Take a look at my website. Here's a clicky.

    All the best...

  4. 2b Diff Height

    Hi GD,

     

    If I remember correctly, the rear of the diff is secured through a plate on the chassis.

    Therefore it's pretty well pre-determined for you once the rear de-dion/subframe is set.

    There's an indication on my website Clicky and it's covered in the Build Videos.

    HTH?

    Boo Hoo. I can't make this Show :(

    Got Friends visting for that weekend as part of their Grand Tour.

    My fault, but it goes to show the importance of getting these dates out ASAP so we can get them all penned into our diaries.

    Roll on Newark!

    i've got an old 1.6 engine round the back that still has pretty much everything on

    can whip this off for you at some point

     

    when do you need it for?

     

    Thanks for the offer Paul, but I'll take Mr Wilson up on his offer as he's nearby.

    No rush for it at all Steve. Let me know when I can pick it up and how many Beer Tokens you'll be wanting.

     

    Regards...

  15. Flywheel / Crank Locking Tool

    in Engine

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    If it's anything like a Pinto (and it will be essentially the same), just get a piece of flat bar, drill a hole in each end, clamp the bar to the flywheel with a bolt through one of the holes and put a bolt through the hole on the other end of the bar into the block somewhere.

    This should serve to lock it all up.

    "Robin Hoods are made from scaffold tubes, this is a Westfield" :fool:

     

    Yeah whatever.

    Obviously, I hope to God I never crash mine, but I sure as hell know that I'll be better off in my Hood if I do. :lol: :good:

     

    See you at Stafford Keith & Welcome!

    Hi All,

     

    I had one that seemed to be worn but actually, I think it was rocking where the bolt went through the Stainless Steel.

    At this point it was the threaded part of the bolt that was rocking in the Statinless.

    So, the bush was fine. I fished out another bolt from somewhere that had a slightly shorter threaded length and all seems fine now.

    in Driving

    Posted

    OK.

    2b Plus with 2.0L Pinto - PiperCross Air Filter - 32/36 Weber DGAV - Std Dizzy & Cam - 4 Branch Manifold - Wunoff Exhaust - 3.92 Diff - 205x50x15 Toyo T1Rs - weighing in at 765KG.

    Total Engine Mileage unknown, but seems well. Declared fit by Bogg Bros with 120BHP at the Flywheel (100BHP at the wheels).

    Nudged 105mph at the Nurburgring and I would say (although I've never acurately measured it) 0-60MPH circa 7 seconds.

    Standing quarter (Elvington Raceway) 15.99 Seconds.

    Keeps up with most stuff and fast enough for me - for the time being. :yahoo:
