Technical ***May 2024 Banger Meet Thread - Remember your Mom this month***

Could you give us any info on those banjo fittings you have on your oil filter please Phil ?

 

Watched the live stream on Saturday. Started watching on Sunday, but had yard work to do. I did see the roadster run, but not the belly tank. A friend of mine is the guy that does all of the Ardema-Braun videos.

 

"May Is 2024 Banger Month . . . Remember Your Mom"???

 

Phil
I think Greg does the video for Pete and team
Owen and Greg are First Robotics competitors and went to World Finals Championships this year in Houston
It truly is a small world

Straight Rajah terminals would solve hotrodfil's problem and look period correct but you need the boot to insulate your wires in the plug well as I recall. I'm probably going to end up with 10mm plugs in some adapters because a 14mm plug in an 18mm adapter makes for a pretty thin adapter cross section. So I'm planning on Rajah terminals to slay that dragon.

 

Yur absolutely right Dan, nothing I do is normal! My plugs are down in a hole so limited options for wires and lots of opportunity for arcing. I haven’t actually identified an arcing problem, but any air gap will eventually allow arcing or at least corrosion eventually.

 

LZKAR7A - a Citroen Berlingo plug by all accounts.
Just being lazy - the boots were already on the leads. Also, the top of the plug is fixed without the removable nut.


Oh, and the fan has been swapped out for a Northern Hemisphere one... I was checking the diameter to see if a Morris Minor one might fit.

 

We just started working on a 28 roadster and found this e-brake setup. Unlike the AR setup on the left side in the Tudor or the side mount in the 30, I have not seen this before. What do we have here?

I've known Greg for 25+ years. I didn't realize it was him doing the videos until I saw him last year at a Christmas party. Very small world. I worked for Randy Nelson 30 years ago, but wasn't involved in his land speed efforts. I was crew chief on his drag race team.

 

I have one of those transmission top covers. It was with a bunch of parts that came from my dad. I have always wondered which model it fits.

 

I believe that's the mid 28-mid 29 top. I'm at work and not around my book collection. I'll try to remember to check for you tonight

 

1/4” BSP hydraulic banjo into the block And 1/2” BSP straight into the filter I recall. Had the hydraulic hoses made up, and the fitting into the gear cover was made by RKE to run into the gallery in the Burtz block.

 

I believe you're right on that one.

My coupe has the same setup. My body number is 313, so it's an early production

 

This Sunday.

 

Exhaust blowing at the manifold flange but it’s running…

 

You know you’re on the wrong side of the road, right?

 

Woohoo, good to see! @hotrodfil it's a cool jigger!

I drove my model A to the local historic's race day, but no photos or it didn't happen yeah!? Haha I guess it didn't happen.

@Jeff34 didn't even notice hahaha

 

It turns left!!!!


I changed the leverage on the linkage and installed the barrel reducers… it sure feels snappy!!! Gonna lower the floats a touch to reduce the accelerator charge and button er up. Ready for the Virginia City FAST hill climb next weekend

 

Woohoo

 

Good Antique Nationals video
I want the spun aluminum wheel covers on the '32 at 1:26

 

Probably should wait until tomorrow, I need the part number for a throw out bearing for a T-5 transmission in an A with a v-8 clutch. One I have says MADE IN USA. GREEN. It’s 3/4” thick.

 

Someone on here sells one that has a bushing installed in the bearing, Cornhusker ?
