I'm working on the front wheel bearings of a Lola T200, which are a pair of deep groove ball bearings (6208-2RS, SKF#) mounted in the upright. The old bearings, which are sealed both sides, had...

There are many shops in the northeast that could easily do the work - Powerslide, Stonebridge and GMT come to mind. If your goal is avoidance of the metalastik rotoflex coupling, with its...

In the east with FFCS you do need steel wheels to be considered HF (Historic cars on alloy wheels are bumped to CF). West coast groups accept alloy wheels in HF. I've got a set of four black Weller...

There's plenty of time to forage for nuts and berries. Our schedule finishes at 1:30 Thursday through Saturday and 9:30 on Sunday.Lots of family time available and an easy daytime drive home on...

Gary:

Thanks for the information. We'll add those models to the draft 2020 rule set.

Is there missing punctuation?

Allan:
Have no concerns about dinner- there will also be a vegetarian option. Plenty of wine. Manhattans also available upon request.

If the Wellers or Dunlops don't work out, many of us in the East have been using Diamond Racing wheels. They're well priced, made to order in a variety of powdercoat finishes and lighter, I believe,...

Call made to WRD . . . early style is correct; apparently lots of fretting done for no good reason! Gears are different, but washers not. Thanks for helping.

Andrew

I'll give them a call just to be sure, but the "early" and "late" style they're referring to are all for Mk.8 & 9. Still, worth the call. Probably going to end up hunting these down from...

John:

Thanks for the info. Was hoping it was something more common for availability of the washers - conical ones in particular. If your drawings indicate washer dimensions that would be most...

Does anybody know what differential was used in a Hewland MK6? There's quite a bit of backlash in my spider gears and I want to source new thrust washers.

Andrew

One more thing - if you're not sure what your schedule looks like for Labor Day weekend at this early date, you can request a full refund from Lime Rock Park until August 21. So, if you're "on the...

Direct quote from Mk. 11, 11A & 17 Merlyn US set-up manual from when they were new:
With car ballasted -

"The ride height is measured from the center of the bolt from the lower wishbone to the...

I'd agree with Brian; with #225 9" springs they're almost free at full droop and ride height is as low as I dare using Mk.17 nose. 13" is the very longest you should need with my spring. Could run...

Mine measures 13 1/2" extended, c-c.

It is either a copy error or else there is a shortag of word-ending e's. Supporting the latter possibility, th on missing from "Royal" was used to fix the last nam of Geoff Clarke, which was Clark...

Many excellent points, largely without disagreement. SVRA is a for-profit business with a right to do as they please. Originality with regard to cylinder head material, flywheel weight, shock bodies,...

The tire rule isn't great for all. I understand the availability and cost advantages of the Toyo, but it's not exactly appropriate for a vintage FF like my Merlyn from both appearance and...

I've got a new 11a tail bought a few years back on ebay - don't recall who made it - but it's not so easy to modify it for what I really want - a Mk. 17 tail. So, if you want it that's for sale. I...

A bit of gentle prying and the gears came off last night. No burrs on pinion shaft, but as the photo shows the gear lube (Swepco) burned on to the shaft in high spots and built up, which I believe...

Yes, the drawbolt is out. I'll try the tapping/prying tonight. I think the hub is "stuck" on the burr as I also cannot reassemble the gear case to the main case. If I can manage to move the hub...

Thanks. The transaxle has been used four times this year and had a new r&p installed last winter, so it hasn't been sitting. I don't doubt your analysis of where the problem is at all. Might there...

I'm unable to remove the gears from the case; when sliding it out there is interference involving the reverse selector fork. With about 1" separation from the main gearbox case the reverse fork...

The diff. was reassembled over the weekend, but here is the photo of the assembled gears. Can't find any Zephyr/Consul people so far that are involved in these parts.

Yes, Zephyr gears are what I've been told, but I still don't see any availability on the bevel washers. I'll post a photo tomorrow.

I'm putting a new crown wheel & pinion in my Mk. 6 Hewland and am being told to consider changing out the transmission in the future because the differential parts are obsolete. I've located new...

In 2013 Historic Ford rules, II (C) states "Aluminum heads are not permitted". 2013 Club Ford rules II (A) says the same thing. Monoposto also still sticks with 20 lb. flywheel minimum on uprated...

Dave Bean Engineering in California has clutches: British American Transfer in Florida may also have them. Everybody seems to stock/supply tilton-style metallic clutches. I had a stock clutch &...

Here's the photo you're after.

FWIW, I'm no engineer or chemist, but am told there is a lower concentration in modern "road" oils of zinc dialkydithiophosphate (ZDDP) or zinc dithiophosphate, which is said to be important in...
