Just wanted to update the thread. As advised, I pulled everything and started from the top. Replaced lines with 1/4" and the slave with the 1.0625...
Thanks for the astounding instructional in clutch physics, guys! This is good stuff. I wish I'd asked when I built the car, but....if you don't...
On the Chevy truck slaves: between Bendix and Dorman, each makes a 1" and a 1.0625" bore. The 1.0625" would put me at a 1:1 match with the M/C, so...
Rich has it right. I'm running side-by-side early Ford masters because I love the look. Plus, it was a lot of work snuggling them onto that T...
Ooops. Here's the photo I meant to attach...[ATTACH]
Like this one here, Rich? These apparently have a 1 1/16", bore, so this will put my ratio pretty close. If I'm understanding correctly then, what...
bttt
I'm currently running a 3-speed Saginaw in my roadster, behind a 324 Olds, and my clutch pedal is much heavier than I'd like it to be. I'm running...
I want to replace the crummy looking two-piece filler cap that is supplied with the modern master cylinder replacements with the nicer looking...
After putting it off for far too long, I finally picked up an Odyssey battery. I just couldn't deny the convenience of increasing what meager...
Here's a link to that tank: http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=82/category_id=133/home_id=-1/mode=prod/prd82.htm
Order from Tanks, Inc arrived in about 2 days! Did not expect that kind of turn around, so it's back to work earlier than I'd thought. Tank fit...
Fuel tank revisited. This tank has worked well, but at only about 10 gallons, I'm at the pumps way too much driving the 30 miles to work every...
I'm betting that little roadster has got some real get-up-and-go! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Heads and block stripped, cleaned and loaded up for a trip to East Side Speed Shop for machining. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Thanks guys! Yup, fuxl is right, it's a 1956. It's running four 94's, and pushing a GM 3 speed into an 8" Ford. The roadster's build link is...
Once apart, things look pretty good. Ran into Tony from Ross Racing last spring at the Lonestar Roundup, and bent his ear for a while. He said...
After accepting the realization that Minnesota Roadster weather for 2013 is now just a memory, I decided to embrace the long winter build season...
Never been much of a modified guy. Watching THIS build has brought me around. Very tastefully laid out and planned. Gonna be a hell of a lot of...
Hahahahaha! Cheers, Tony, you're a true gentleman! Truth is, this motor wouldn't be on the road without Ross Racing and Tony's generous help and...
Dammit, Tony, I just realized something. I never asked ya about it: if you tell me that's a bracket you actually make and sell, I'm gonna feel...
You bet, Daddio211, they sure are!
So I cropped and printed out a photograph of Goatroper02's pic. Cut it out, blew it up on the copier until the head bolts roughly matched up. Then...
Been a long time since any updates. I've spent most of the summer driving the hell out of this thing, and trying to keep working on it to a...
Dammit that shifter trick is cool!
Best look so far. I think you got it!
Goddamn it, Beau, this is the hardest I've laughed in days!
Count me in on the cruise.
Good to hear it, and Welcome to Minnesota! The roadster and I will be there for sure.
