Re: Harmon Collins Rotors ?????
I have a HC that is complete. The internal ring has a little tit that positions the cap in the correct place. That tit is pretty much worn off do to poor removal and replacement technique.
Can that tit be built up with epoxy or liquid steel. Tim |

Re: Harmon Collins Rotors ?????
Don: The HC is a Harman Collins dual coil distributor made by that company to replace the Ford 42-48 distributor, that uses one coil. No you do not need one for any of the Fords. It is more of a Hot Rod, high performance, part.

Re: Harmon Collins Rotors ?????
Well, I'm scurrying about now trying to get them done by the end of this year. This week I have some more little 'mods' to do on the mold then I can start production. Sorry for keeping you Gentlemen waiting. Might throw up some pictures of the process, some of you might be curious as to how its done.

Re: Harmon Collins Rotors ?????
This is the mold I've made. I will post more later, just felt bad giving you guys a 'teatse then not posting .
Currently modifying the top collar's height due to some people actually having to "sand" down so it doesn't rub on the inside of the cap. Also, the rivits need to be made.... the ones I used before I'm not happy with. I want to build a rotor that won't have any issues down the road .... |

Re: Harmon Collins Rotors ?????
Thanks for posting. Very impressive! We have been without rotors for so long, it's great to see this project in the works with light at the end of the tunnel.
