It might be a step-down bushing for a shock mount. Depends on the size.

Kevan McLurg has a 90d for sale and can provide all parts.

Sean does excellent work and very timely. SKelly is his APX name.

Chris childs 510.734.5977

I also use Chris for work on my Shadow and FT200 gearboxes. Excellent work.

I am having a run of 10 units made, Cost is $230 each plus shipping. Seven are spoken for at the present time. If you want one (or more) please contact:

Thanks,

Steve,

What is your opinion of steel pin-drive rivets as opposed to bucked solid rivets?

And, do you use a different epoxy bonding aluminum to aluminum? If so, what is your preference?

I am having a run of RT4 RIGHT HAND SIDE engine mounts made. These bolt to the upper right corner of the engine block. ONLY the piece that bolts to the block, NOT the plate that bolts to the tub.

I've used them for years and have always been extremely happy with the service and quality.

Fiberglass repair kit with mat and cloth. gloves. cups. rechargeable battery pack. spare battery (charged). master kill switch. valve stems and tool.

I can empathize/sympathize with your efforts. I am rebuilding a Ralt RT4 that sat out in the Canadian weather for at least 10 years. Never knew rust could be so bad. Evaporust, Kroil, WD40. heat. ...

Try a fine wire brush or sandpaper to make sure there are no burrs.

I want to recommend Alvin Brantley at Brantley Precision Works just outside Indy. He recently rebuilt my Shadow tub, a tub he rebuilt 12 years ago. It needed very little work, which speaks to his...

For years I mounted atlantic tires with the Kraus machine with little problem They were 13 x 15 wheels. Never tried with radials, though. Depending on your circumstances it might be feasible to...

Thanks Julian. I had not seen them around. The blue one for $38k is about double what the price should be. The red one (yours) was a much better car. I'd like to find that one again.

Anyone know the whereabouts of one of two Reynard 89/90d atlantics painted in Benetton-style colors? One red/green/blue and the other blue/green.

Thanks. That appears to be an RT5.

Thanks. You are correct. I’m looking for a “before” car, not an “after.”

Thanks. Not quite what I need

Looking for an early (1980-1982) RT4 project. What have you?

"I have exchanged the front and rear wheel nuts. The nuts appear identical, the front and rear spindles do seem to have different dimensions. These parts are quite old of course - I'm sure the nuts...

Well Spotted. Obviously an incorrect installation and will probably lead to other issues - disk location, etc.

Something has changed, or been changed. Verify those are the proper nuts. Try the rear nuts on the front to see if things change (and vice versa). The car should not have that type of mis-matching...

I used the safety clips on the rear wheels. Being a bit anal probably, I also put some shims to take up the space between the wheelnuts and the clips.



Can't...

I'm guessing someone installed locating studs that are just a bit too big and the fit is an interference fit. Check the size of the holes in the wheel with a drill set and measure the size of the...

A very light coating of anti-seize on the face of the hub, the outside of the centering barrel, and the locating studs. Do not put anything on the threads. Brush them to keep clean.

I don't have a dog in this hunt, but the 1800 Super Vee (IIRC) ran 8" and 10" wheels. The 1600 cars ran the 6" & 8" wheels.

Check with Mark Bailey. In your area.

Lola S2 used 180 and 125.

Ralt RT-4 used 180 and 140.

One critical factor is to NOT retorque your wheels when you come in from a session to see if they loosened. The only thing you should do...

The front suspension from 1984 on was pull/push rod. The rear suspension was rocker until 1988 when they tried pull rod suspension on the rear. Unsuccessful. Cars were converted back to 1986 spec.

Dan,

It looks like it's all there. Find an engine from the VW crowd and source the bodywork (which may be more difficult). Then you are faced with a lot of grunt work cleaning and inspecting and...

Rodorico,

Every major airport should have a repair/maintenance shop nearby. Or, send the old cell to Fuel Safe in the US for their opinion. I had a new cell made for my Shadow using the old one...

first if all, probably impossible to find a new one. Secondly, a good fuel cell specialist can bring it back to life.

no need to use ATL. Go to your local aviation fuel cell shop and have them repair and reseal. Emphasize you do not need certification, just a safe and clean cell. If you do need certificates then...

i have not removed mine. I believe you should be able to remove all bolts and push the plate inwards. You will have to gently separate the sealing gaskets. Then rotate the plate sideways by...

Rodorico,

If it is like my 1996 Lola, it is a wet cell fitting with two sealing gaskets under the mounting bulkhead (called the front hatch by Lola) The gaskets for this are 9720-12012 (outer...

I bought the car from Jerry when he decided to upgrade to the March. The mods were all very well done and it must have been a very stable car with the extra length. Having bought all of the Ralt...

probably because you, like me, always finish the bottle.

You can use the gadgets that are designed to extract air from open bottles of wine, then seal the bottle. Fancier ones replace air with an inert gas.

There is a CNC (brand) ally caliper that will fit the Lola uprights and will need minimal grinding to fit inside the 13" wheel. These were used on some ACRL cars. Haven't seen any available for a...

Contact Dennis Eade. Many moons ago he had a 492 with all sorts of info and panels. He may have had a 496 - I'm not sure. He's in your area.

Last number I had was 847.209.4850 (mobile)

Here is the difference.

Mike,

Pretty sure I have two brand new. I'll get back to you later today with pictures.

Might as well raise the issue again. These are not designed as "drive pins" but mainly locating pins. Yes, they will stop the wheel from rotating if the wheel nut loosens. However, if the units...

Hedre is the spec sheet for LOLA F3000 Brembo brakes. The dimensions shown should help you determine if your pads atre correct.

I have the entire manual so drop me a PM if you need more info.
