How about a stainless steel c-clamp?

Then you can just have it polished :roll:

Zenon just couldn't live with the Vise Grips. So I was forced to drill and tap for studs. Some guys are really pickey.

Oh sure, blame me!

I thought we could leave the vise grips there for tech inspection.  :-o

Hate to be a pest but I thought I might use the larger vise grips to fasten the seat belts.

Rich replaced the bearings in the fuel pump drive this week

Today he checked the fuel pump to make certain it was set up for reverse rotation since it will be facing toward the back of the engine.

He waited till today because I expressed an intrest in seeing the inner workings of a Hilborm pump







Rich spent the day working on running /attaching fuel and oil lines. I was working on the Studebaker head







Oil level site gauge





The boss was pleased, but hungry

I stopped by and visited Rich today.

The head is out in the workshop and he is cutting the head studs to be the right size

He annealed the copper head gasket

He finished attaching the oil lines

He is thinking that Saturday may be the day the head is bolted on.

Sorry, no pics. Maybe he will add some.

Rich, are you going to be at El Mirage in May?

May is the plan. I installed a new aluminum push plate with an antenna for a center sight. I expect to set the head on shortly to make an "example" push rod and send it to Smith Bros. Do the soft spring test of valve clearance. And that kind of thing. Not quite ready to fire it yet.
