    Rear Caliper rubber gasket

    Hi, I sent my rear caliper out for PC and it came back minus the little rubber gasket that goes between the two halves. This part is NOS and is pretty much unobtainium. Well I researched what kind of rubber is compatible with brake fluid and it turns out that EDPM will work just fine. I bought...

    77GW caliper half seal unobtainium

    Gents. After taking my rear caliper to get PC, I took my finished caliper and found that the seal that goes between the halves is missing. I have found that this part is no longer available. It's a simple flat round sheet stock with about 1/8" diameter hole in the middle. I did a search for...

    Adding charging outlets for laptop and smart phone

    Ky, I hear you. I was just wondering if you would be able to tap an aux circuit and run to your trunk. If you run a new circuit, I would mount the fuse close to the battery and then run the long run to your trunk. I wasn't thinking that you were trying to "Text while Riding" like everybody...

    Adding charging outlets for laptop and smart phone

    Single Carb Conversion: Adapt the stock plenum

    Sorry, I can't quite make out where those caps come from. Milk Jugs maybe? Necessity is the Mother of Invention! I recall using some of the road crack sealer tar to temporarily plug a pin hole in my rad so I could get home. The car was a POS, it was cold and rainy and I was an hr from home. I...
