Ian or Carol, 'tis a delicate subject;but could you loose a little girth? Your posts don't fit on my screen.

Me too,great for my small wife;or is that a negative point?
-
There's an echo in here.
-
Probably get a better improvement in 0-60 time by leaving your heavy wallet on the dresser at home.
-
The above would only work if white vans were fitted with indicators;all the ones I meet are short of this aid P.S Silver is now today's white.

Before you cook any more; wire a big lamp (or two) between battery positive & your cables that are supposed to connect to same--then if you get a smoke producing short ;it won't be ;'cos the lamps will glow. Makes everything go slow as well, which helps this old 'art.
-
Drill right thru & use a spring roll pin thingy--can supply a few if you require.

My EFI pump had 15mm inlet,which is same as 15mm copper tube,so removed "swelling" on end of pipe & fitted 15/8 compression pipe fitting(some soldering involved--but NOT when on the pump) then standard fuel filter & Gates hoses.

I'm so glad I fitted a CVH engine-- with exhaust on the "wrong" side my steering coluum goes straight to the rack & so my steering wheel is square across the car--(smug at the moment) regards Bob.

Both of you ,hold hands nicely & grope your way over to the door---light switch is top left.

About 500 or there-abouts--never bothered with jacks--just lift a corner & get your mate to slide in a block of wood a bit sharpish--but that was near 50 years ago--OMG--I am OLD.
-
Joel,sorry,haven't been in the work-shop this week-end (fine weather = work in garden clearing winter damage) do you still want the wish-bone measurements? Your latest post would give a very soft ride as the load is able to compress the spring more easily (I think?)
-
Smack that man with a stick of soggy rhubarb--bricks are only load bearing when they have a mortar bed in between to spread the load--if you're going the trad.route use blocks of wood;just make sure base dimensions are greater than height--WOOD=GOOD.
-
Come-on now lads; if you can build a car you can make these--a few dozen M of 25mm angle & a stick welder--not sure about your weld? Try breaking some test welds-if it bends before it breaks it's O.K--design so that loads compress ramps not shear or stretch & triangulate to ensure ridgidity.

Sooo Soorryy, 'tis now ammendeded;; but the guy in the picture has got way to much hair.
-
What the hell did he mean--ALL our panels are pop-riveted--mine are all S/steel-mandrel & stem--how else did he think panels should be fixed to chassis?
-
Joel, I've got my 2B+ up to rolling/running chassis stage if you can tell me what measurements to take from where I'll be pleased to do same. Please bear in mind that I need a big KISS factor in the instructions.
-
You need to bear in mind that "sometimes" (nearly always) the hole in the Sierra trailing arm does not fall in line with the roll bar -- so the damper is being twisted off line -- I welded lugs into the arm, offset from the central hole to avoid this problem.
-
Would be interested in purchasing new improved wishbones--sorry can't help on the technical side--an on-line tutorial on suspension parameters would help my understanding if any-one wishes to talk to the bone-heads like me.
-
From other posts on here you may need to register an engine change to the Sierra in order to get an age plate for your RH--unless you're going diesel 7!!!
-
On our 2B I've drilled & tapped the wish-bones at mid point so the grease goes in between the nylon bushes--makes sure the steel tube/nylon mating faces are lubricated & prevents the possibility of water creeping in & rusting the tubes--which would give a less than smooth turning action,regards Bob.
-
They're very good looking wheels, how many, any damage, how much & thanks for taking the trouble,regards Bob.
-
Brilliant--or not--depends on potential difference--thanks to all--wheels may be very interesting--I await a further post,regards Bob.
