steve something, he looked manager ish.  when i threw a yoke on the table and told him i needed one of these and not to ask what or where its from, it pick up a caliper and walked to a shelf, so i approved.


sadly he was out of stock of the Conversion joint i needed.  for only 25$ i ordered two that will be here tomorrow morning.




honestly the old one is going to get new 1350 caps and new grease, i dont have time in the schedual to loose a day and the motor will be in for good tonight to move on to other things.

[mr.mindless]

hope they fit right

[M4wdFab]

replacing 1350 caps missing needles with new 1350 caps would not fit why?

[mr.mindless]

different brands of joints have different cap thicknesses/needle lengths & diameters/ cross diameters.

spec only dictates OD and lockup dimension, all the internal stuff can and will vary between brands and suppliers. I've had caps that will not fit on "the same" joint

[M4wdFab]

interesting,

all my joints are naepco(sp) or spicer

this working till 2am thing is getting old this week     


ECM is in an express box and maybe be here tomorrow





Last night got the motor and trans mounted to the buggy- needs a few my gussets and little tube for the main engine mounts, but it wont come out again.

Provisions for water temp, oil pressure, steering hydro also completed.

Where did you decide to get oil pressure from?

[M4wdFab]

that port thing on the side like you said.  it had a nice rubber gasket behind the plate that was in good shape

[mr.mindless]

awesome.

you think you'll have a computer today? I assume wiring can start either way.
Busy day at work so I'm not getting much 101 shit done, but booklet updates are all that's left and that should be sneakable somewhere. I'm picking up fliers today and will have them at the prerun.

Need to make sure my saw and hedge trimmer run.

[M4wdFab]

exhaust, coolant hoses, finish motor mounts, fit hood, extend fuel lines, plumb gages, make MAF and filter fit, chase vac holes and plug shit and remove motor junk, pull shock to rebuild, rear sway bar, rear bushings rebuild, Fluids race prep, mod hood

ECM is being expressed over today, so maybe tomorrow or monday.

[Wingman]

You have "hood" in there twice.  Now your list is -1... 

[M4wdFab]

fit hood, mod hood, two different types of fabrication

[M4wdFab]

cooling done, exhaust done, air cleaner almost done.   

needs wires, fuel hood, sway bar, and then normal race prep.

wish I could have helped, Its been hell at my house with the kids getting sick and then me starting work.
