Yeah, the flexplate is just aft of my knees (so the engine is still 'front', sort of).
Wayno, good to be here, watching the net, seeing the volcano spout.
C-mmmon rain! (washes the ash out of the air
)
Yeah, we're having fun working on it.
We have the pedals mostly sorted out (we think) just have to work out the connections.
We think we have the throttle sorted out. We need a new cable as the one we have is too short for the new routing. We found most of the pieces at the local Hog shop, planning on a clutch cable sheath with 3/32nds cable (at this point). Now we just have to sort out the ends (thinking of using a sealed ball bearing for the sheath mount at the pedal end, so it won't bind when you slide the pedals).
We are reusing the clutch cable at this point (with a few minor mods to it's mount).
The brake is in work as well, we have a Wilwood MC that was in our Model A (the one we went to see Wayno in, we swapped it out for a different bore size). We also have a couple of the two piston Wilwood calipers and some bolt on rotors, so we are working on mounting a new rotor to the rear. The old one is on the pinion yoke, we're planning on puthing the new one back there. We're replacing the old one as it's warped and thin enough we doubt we cold get it to stay straight after fixing it.
I have pictures of most of that, in my home computer, I'm at work now, we are standing by to see how much ash we get and how long the eruption is (what, you thought I was kidding earlier?
).
I do have pictures of the header though, cool lookin' little thing.
Complete with 1 Qt bottle of Mobile 1 ATF for scale.
It's in pretty good shape, planning on sending it out to have it blasted and coated, worst corrosion we found on it isn't bad at all.
