Re: Pressure plate adjutant
So if you adjust on the bench, with the fingers just touching/below the cover, when you bolt it to the flywheel you get the required 5/8"?

Rainmaker Rob's cooler
I saw a picture of Rainmaker Ron's front cooler holder and I like it. Removeable, simple, only thing is from the picture I can't tell where the back legs go? Do they sit on the axle? Hang in the...

Re: Pressure plate adjutant
If you adjust it on the bench, and then readjust again once it's bolted to the flywheel, what does the bench adjustment accomplish?

Re: Peep mirrors
Well...I reversed the clamp and that helps get the mirror where I want, but it does make it only set on a small area of the arm on the door. So I decided to make my own arms. I have access to a CNC...

Re: Timing gears
I understand and read some of the price/quality issues, but the difference in the macerated vs laminated gear is $20. It's not exactly break the bank.
Better question, if you were replacing...

Re: Peep mirrors
Rotated every which way, every degree, and it is mounted on the front edge of the door, I cannot see the edge of the car. I'm going to fab my own mounts.

Pressure plates
Snyders will sell a rebuilt pressure plate or a brand new pressure plate. The brand new one is $100 cheaper. Are there problems with it? Why rebuild your old one?

Timing gears
Snyders sells a macerated, a laminated, and a aluminum timing gear. The original is macerated and prone to disintegrating, laminated is better? Aluminum is bullet proof? Why sell a macerated gear?

Re: Peep mirrors
Did that, didn't help, I was trying it on the passenger side to see if it worked there, that's why it's adjusted different.

Re: Peep mirrors
I can't even see cars in the opposite lane because it's angle so far out. I'll take a picture of the mount, it looks like it's bent wrong. It gets worse when you insert of rubber protector.

I bought a clip on peep mirror from the standard vendors. It is the straight shank, and I mounted it just above the hinge. Worthless. It is angled out so far that you can't adjust it in enough to...

That Kari-Keen is a sweet set up, and that's probably what I'm going to try to fab up with some modern box.

That's what I'm afraid of. I can see getting to them, and possibly making a jig to adjust them, but I'm not sure how you could do the "rocking" test to make sure they're all even.
