Re: [Chevelle-List] Welding & Sealing
I don't see anyway in my "WILDEST" dreams that this would be even vaguely acceptable. Panel adhesive is not designed to replace welding. Dwight Absolutely correct!! Sorry guys, I was WAY too vague about floor pans! I think in no way shape or form should panel adhesive be used for floor pans. I would never use it for any car floor pan. That's a structure point. Absolutely NOT acceptable for that application. It does make a good patching technique for an exterior panel, but that is as far as it goes. My comment, "I don't know if he would use it on floorpans, though." , was not supposed to suggest that it could ever be an acceptable alternative to proper welding and sealing of the floor panels, just a comment I should not have typed. You have my apologies for the confusion.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Welding & Sealing
One of the body guys I know always uses body panel adhesive to install 1/4's and other exterior patches. He cuts out the panel to be replaced...uses a panel crimper to form a step...fits & secures the patch with adhesive & 1 or 2 tapping screws. Once the adhesive is dry, remove the screws, and all you need is a skin of filler. No heat warpage, adhesive seals the lap joint so it can't hold water, no grinding welds. It works for him. I don't know if he would use it on floorpans, though. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Chevelle-List] Fan Clutch
I use the thermal ones. They come on when they need to (providing they are working properly), and release at highway speeds, saving fuel and preventing HP loss from a solid fan. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Chevelle-List] Fan Clutch
I like to use a clutch fan to reduce noise. I usually use a 5 blade fan. Never had a problem. It's important to either: a) have a shroud or b)make sure the fan is relatively close to the rad to get the pull affect of air through the cores. I would try a NEW clutch. Just my 2 cents worth. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Chevelle-List] Stock Fan Clucth
There is a wax-like substance inside the clutch assembly that makes the fan spin. There is no solid mechanical contact between the fan blade and the water pump, just the friction of the shaft spinning in this goo (official technical term). When the clutches get old, this substance leaks out the front of the clutch (rad side) and causes slow fan speeds, and overheat conditions at an idle. Find the tightest one you can, as long as it isn't seized completely. It would be the best choice. Of course...your local NAPA, could probably find you a new one by proper application. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Chevelle-List] Stock Fan Clucth
As long as the studs from the water pump are the same spacing, they should fit. Try to find one with the least amount of dampness at the front of the clutch around the bi-metal - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
