Hmmmmm if only you had a shrink ray, if they were 1/3 smaller in scale they could be cool. As they are, to my eyes, they look too big and clumsy....
As I mentioned above, the only time I have seen extreme wear difference side to side is in areas with high numbers of Roundabouts, providing the...

I really enjoyed it, the last few minutes were heart breaking and even though I was aware of the situation still found it shocking :(
How much fuel does one have to go through before you get a pay off from all this additional expense to make it 'economical'? I appreciate you're...

Good on you man! that an incredibly hard thing to do, but this way there is a very good chance you'll see that car back on the road. Those guys...
thats ludicrous money!! you boys clearly have too much spare cash!!
So it wasn't a heat soak issue at all. Definitely another lesson in addressing the basics first, the amount of times folks jump into electrical...
Bought a ‘56 rear bumper, straightened the LH end up and cleaned all the flakey chrome off. Offered it up, didn’t like it. So cut the centre out...
As a UK resident I find it very amusing all this enthusiasm over Rover V8s haha, maybe I should just round a load up and ship them stateside....
That's very true, my experience was with the Stovebolt in my 51. No alternative replacement for them so new rope it was!!
In my fairly limited experience, removing the old one was the easy bit!!! You'll need the Sneaky Pete for installing the new one for sure.

shift light made from an aircraft marker light?
Gotta agree, that’s a very complex part with a bunch of processes for a very very niche market. I guess sometimes you just gotta suck it up...
You really need to take and post some photos, advice is impossible without being able to see it
Been that way in UK for a while now, most new built houses you're lucky to get a driveway let alone a garage, then if you do spec a garage on your...
It’s easier to get people to come to the attraction than bring the attraction to them!
looks fine to me
wow I stand corrected, never seen then them that thin before. My comment on the spacer was that if the ID matched the spigot ring then it would...
You wont find Hub-centric spacers in less than 10mm thickness though, at least no where near the thickness of the current 'shim'. Now there's a...
He will possibly have to bore out the ID of the spacer to clear the ring, seeing as he said he had made those spacers himself I cant see that...
