Fraud XP also fits very well if you require a bit of room around a larger pumkin diff.

Re: Nice wagon
Mick,
You are right, in the day I did the same thing. Actually I was talking to one of the Grimmas at the last nationals and we had used the same engineer based in Guildford NSW, not sure if that guy would still be with us ?
The unfortunate thing is we so call "progress for the better" and with ...

Re: Nice wagon
Red motor and trimatic, what size ?
The argument for the red being in a HR could be quashed because the Red was in right up to the UC and HZ and both those had collapsable columns, dual cct brakes, seat belts, demister, drivers side mirror.
It is a pain but necessary cause we do need to keep ...

Re: Elle’s 1960 FB 225 mild custom
Went for a 40km drive. Other than a slight ping in a couple of spots in the rev range under full throttle top gear, I can’t fault it. Bottom end pickup is markedly improved as is idle over the 350. I will back the timing off a couple of degrees as it is currently at 12* initial. The fuel is over a ...

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Looking good blacky,
I ended up using polyurethane bushes on the front spring eyes, the original kit from McDonald bros used aluminium, just too noisy on the street.
I haven't given my car a run at the drags yet but early indications show zero wheel hop and good grip for both wheels.
It will be ...

Re: Elle’s 1960 FB 225 mild custom
Hi Clay,
Having fun no doubt !
I would pull the caster back on the passengers side to +1*, that will give you a slight compensation for the road camber as we talked about before.
If you have -1* camber then see if you get the toe to 1mm or even zero. Take the car for a spin, and see if wanders left ...

Re: Harv's FED thread
Harv,
I just realised what I wrote, I hope it didn’t come across as a smart ass, I meant it as I read your post quickly.
I did however have a similar issue many years ago with A Chev into Nissan patrol auto. I had the exact same issue and that’s what I ended up doing.

Harv,
Read this real quick, can you put spacers on the convertor pads then increase the sandwich plate thickness between the glide and block ?
