Bruce went through 3 OEM GM throwout bearings on his LS engine before he got one that didn't leak. He's the one who finally changed my mind on using one. I know there's millions in use but there...

I'm going to assume you actually went to a smaller .625" bore master cylinder to reduce the TO bearing travel. Also, I think you have Tilton pedals and they only have a 5.0 or 6.2 ratio available as...

By the way if you read the 2 reviews on that 82870 Howe TO bearing, they're both complaining about leaks.
...

Thanks for the info. I thought about using a hydraulic TO bearing but decided against it after seeing so many of them leak in other projects. Maybe you got lucky. I didn't want to be pulling the...

Yes, and it also is the contact for the light bulb. The light bulb retaining nub has to go through that hook. I have some like this Packard 56 terminal, but they won't work.

As I mentioned in my build thread, my clutch pedal force is higher than I expected it to be. I may be spoiled by the ease of effort to depress the clutch in my Porsche, but i believe it has a dual...

This is the "hook" type terminal I was referring to. It looks similar to the stock one.

Minor detail but something I need to address soon. Has anyone been able to use a stock glove box light/switch and make it work? It takes a special hook-shaped contact/terminal that I can't find...

Last night I was pondering how I could change the pedal ratio on my clutch if I needed to. When I designed the system I did a bunch of calculations to get the throwout bearing movement I thought I...

Like you, I make a lot of my brackets out of rectangular or square tubing. Early on, I even made a lot of my C4 conversion brackets that way, until I discovered laser cutting. Looking good. Looks...

What are you trying to buy? Is there some reason you want to find a local vendor, instead of just ordering online?

Did some more work on the Nomad the past couple of days. I filled the clutch master cylinder under the dash and bled the slave. I'm kinda wishing I used a remote reservoir for easier filling, but I...

You're rolling right along Robert. Seems like we're close to the same place in these builds, but you might be ahead of me on interior. I glued my rear bumper seal in with some black urethane...

Looks good Des. I'm planning on trying to cover the seatbelt below the shoulder loop. I'm not sure how that affects the interior beltline molding. Maybe it won't work.

You can copy and paste pics from any website and I have done it many times (I did it on the seats above). You can't do that if the pic is only on your computer or phone. I have no problem uploading...

Des, it looks like your belt isn't retracting all the way either so I wonder if it's too long. At least you have the sliding latch that doesn't restrict it. I wonder if you have the so-called "dual...

You're such a simple-minded clown. I don't want truck seats in my car and I already have the seats I want to use. Your solution is just to slap something in no matter how stupid it looks. Why...

Love that color, and the engine looks awesome in there.

Pretty sure those hinges are identical to a tri5. Did you use the ones I sold you on a different project? Also I wonder why you plan to...

That looks good Richard, but I wonder why I'm seeing guys run the ground cable from the battery to the front of the car. I put a ground cable from the battery to the frame, then from the engine to...

You clearly don't understand the problem.

I see no benefit of a non-sliding latch over a free-sliding one. The non-free-sliding latch also slides, it just doesn't slide freely. The...

I've never heard about 110 degree belts. I read about "dual sensitive" belts but I don't really understand how they differ. I THINK it means they lock on both vehicle deceleration and fast webbing...

It looks like Wesco Performance (thanks Brian!!) has the best choice of seatbelts for my needs. They have a "convertible/hardtop" seatbelt that's 120" long and I can get end release buckles and all...

Well RD, why don't you start a post about your LS engine and ask a few questions you want feedback on, and I'll tell you a few things about my John Deere riding mower engine and maybe show you a...

Today I finally tackled the roof rails. I worked on trimming and fitting them a little a while ago and kind of dreaded trying to install them because I expected as much hassle as I had with the...

Honestly, RD, this isn't about your car or any race car. Those seatbelts in my car would look stupid to me.

Just because I like the way the seatbelts are configured on my 4 other cars doesn't...
