Just a caution about using bolts in place of studs for the rear end. The cast iron used for the casing is rather brittle. When starting to thread a bolt into the case, if only 1 or 2 threads have 'ca

Put the pump down low. This will not matter to you until the first time you run the tank dry late at night in the rain, walk 5 miles to get gas in a 1 gal can, and then cannot get started because the

On my son's 1500, the PO had to grind back the edge of the chassis to create a notch to clear the 4-1 header downtubes. Must be a common problem with these. Carter Do You Yahoo!?

My condolences. You could start training yourself now, perhaps by riding shotgun in some demolition derby contests. Then, by the time you actually ride with your son, nothing will upset you. Carter

Glad things worked out for you, $10 is a great price. I realized (too late now, maybe) that you can get small quantities of teflon sheet in many thicknesses (and a lot of other stuff) at Small Parts

On the swing spring, only the bottom leaf provides roll stiffness. The front springs and roll bar contribute most of the roll stiffness for the car. And the front springs are notoriuous for sagging.

Calculate your speed with this formula: d * RPM -- = speed, MPH 336 * ratio where: d = tire diameter in inches ( 2X rolling radius ) RPM = revs per minute (duh) ratio = rear end ratio, 4.11, 4.55, 3
