Re: Reduction Ratio Gear End Cap Removal

I use a small flat blade screwdriver and work my way around it prying it a little at a time. Might be good to soak in solvent for a while first if it doesn't want to come out.

Re: Modern Shocks

I put the Snyders kit on my coupe, set them to the softest setting, no regrets. Car handles so much better in my opinion not all over the road in the dips, bumps and corners.

Re: CAD Model of Model A Engine

Very impressive, great job. I went from ink and linen drawings to autocad during my working days but never made it to solid works before retiring. Technology sure is advancing, now I really feel old.

The 535 flasher didn't work for me, I got an electronic one from snyders that works well.
