You might suggest that John also check the condition of your inner rear trunnion bearing.

142. Re: wheel studs (score: 1): Author: Donald H Locker <dhl@chelseamsl.com>; Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 13:29:09 -0400 (EDT); The other thing to be careful of is that the cup is going squarely into the bore of the yoke. If it isn't, the (rather sharp) leading edge of the cup can carve its own way for a small distance, ruini; /html/spitfires/2000-10/msg00640.html (7,712 bytes)

Re: Floorpan repair (score: 1): Author: Donald H Locker <dhl@chelseamsl.com>; Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2000 15:16:17 -0400 (EDT); And I see now (on a second reading) that Nolan did say they use panel pins.

The larger jet is for some other vehicle. The front and rear jet difference is in the angle that the hose comes out of the jet body at the bottom.

Re: 78 Spit electric fan conversion (score: 1): Author: Donald H Locker <dhl@chelseamsl.com>; Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2000 22:08:02 -0400 (EDT); Actually, I would expect pushing to work better -- the turbulence generated by the fan will break down the stagnant layer of air near the heat transfer elements and effect a higher heat transfer coe; /html/spitfires/2000-09/msg00264.html (8,243 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: Donald H Locker <dhl@chelseamsl.com>; Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2000 09:45:58 -0400 (EDT); The information from the crank sensor is used to get very precise cranshaft position information.

Re: Blown Fuse (score: 1): Author: Donald H Locker <dhl@chelseamsl.com>; Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2000 15:53:35 -0400 (EDT); To track down the culprit, try substituting a lamp with clips on it for the fuse, then work your way along the wires connected to that fuse, until the light goes out.

Re: Blown Fuse (score: 1): Author: Donald H Locker <dhl@chelseamsl.com>; Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 23:44:29 -0400 (EDT); I'm confused -- are you thinking of an electrical fire near the lamp or near the position of the short. I'm guessing the latter from your comment about "location of the fire to spot the short", but; /html/spitfires/2000-09/msg00892.html (8,391 bytes)
