Thanks all. I decided to go with a top mount whizzy bits version. I will let you know how it turns out :)

Hello folks,

I am to the point that I need to fit a throttle cable and new carb linkage on the Ensign.

Looking around the various sources, there appear to be twin cable set ups and single cable...

Thanks all!

Thank you all. I like the idea of the slip fitting. More fab to do I guess.

Can one of you take a look at the attached pic and tell me how these levers work. From the hewland manual it appears...

Hi Folks,

I fabricated new linkage for my Ensign. All polished stainless tubing and apex joints. Its very pretty, now its down to making it work.

I am at the last joint before the gearbox and...

Got it.

For future reference if anyone has to do this Pegasus has the parts

1/2 BSP female to 12AN Male steel swivel
12AN Female to 3/4 hose barb
3/4 id textile reinforced hose
Oetiker clamps

Not quite. The fitting on the pan is male, so the 1/2 bsp hose barb fitting is female. The scavenge pipe into the pump has no fitting the hose fits over the 3/4 od pipe and is clamped with an...

Ok so I have scoured Pegasus et al looking for a solution to this. My Twin cam dry sump pan has a 1/2 bsp hose barb fitting. The scavenge pipe on the titan dry sump pump is 3/4 od. This sounds like...

Thanks guys.. Got it

Ok guys this is a dumb question. I am putting my Ensign LNF3 back together and noticed that the water pump drive belt is very loose. I want to change it, but more importantly I cannot seem to figure...

Thanks guys, that is easy enough to do. The car is a Formula 3 and the bag is in the side of the car. I have to say that I was surprised to see it come back with a fire hose for an outlet. Now off to...

Gentlemen,

I have been searching for a fitting that will convert the outlet of my new fuel cell which is a 1" ID rubber tube to AN lines to run to the Carbs.

This must come up over and over...

His name keeps on coming up so I guess I got my answer. I'll contact him after the runoffs.

Thanks!

Hello folks,

I have a couple of Crusader Vee Sport racers. One which runs an 1835cc Type 1 engine and the second which is under restoration which will run a Porsche 912 engine. Both of these are...

The fixture idea is a good one thank you.

One additional piece of information. the round disc to which attaches to the rotor with the wheel studs has a hole and a setscrew in the middle. The...

Hello there folks. I am in mid restoration of my Ensign LNF3. I am about to send out parts for crack checking. I must be dumb as for the life of me I cannot seem to remove the rotors (and stub...

That VW 1300 CSR wasnt a cicada was it? I've never seen one at a vintage event and have been scouring the net for one. Havent even found a picture. But I know it raced here in the northeast quite a...

Hello all,

I am trying to get my LNF3 up and running. I thought I had found the problem when I noticed my previous "mechanic" had left the + lug loose on the starter. After I tightened it the...

I am more of a vintage guy so am not up on newer sports racers, but I am for anything that attracts and KEEPS interest in motor sports. Sometimes I feel like a dinosaur with interests in bird hunting...

Currently is 1835cc, VW swing axle rear, and ball joint front end. I run hoosier 550 Vintage TDs and its a fabulous car. Pics attached

Interesting thread. Thanks.

I own one of the original VSR's from Chuck Tatum. Its serial number 1, the prototype and the one pictured on the web with James Garner in it.
