[Fot] Expired Belts (was Shop cleaning)

Mon Jan 4 14:33:11 MST 2021

 Hi - if you know local autocrossers that are just starting out, offer them the old belts for free. Else, I cut the belts and recycle the metal. Seems like a shame, but what can you do.
That said, I might do FIA belts next time. 8 to 10 events on the SFI belts seems to be not cost effective (calculated 4 - 5 events per year).
Regards,Bob Lang

Really Henry? It’s my recollection that when you use lights, wipers and heater you run out of gas! Cheers,Greg “Lunker” HilyerAlbuquerque NM

Subject: Re: [Fot] Shop cleaning I'm with Henry in that I use the originals regularly. Haven't had one fail yet on race or street cars (now that I said that, they'll start failing left and right!)...Of course, I also have an in-house rebuilder (old Skippy skills die hard!)

I still use the old generators and starter motors.  They have date codes on them which make them more valuable to restorers.  
I weeded out my collection, something like 40 of them and took them to the local starter shop who gave me some money and they might have made it back into somebody's car.  Now I'm down to about 5-10 of these with dates that match my cars...............

Subject: Re: [Fot] Shop cleaning Greg, if you have a scrap metal recycler near you, you can get a few to five bucks each for such electrical items.  If no one wants them to use, it might be worth the trip, instead of just trashing them. JoeB

I’ll never use one of these in a car I build or maintain so up for grabs, you pay shipping. I’ve probably collected a dozen of each over the years. Mostly TR3/4 stuff.
