I've had that happen, but used this system: The threaded end of the long bolt has a blunt tapered point machined onto the end. I used a long (36") steel pipe, and BFH (Big Ferrous Hammer) to drive the bolt out. The tapered end of the bolt keeps the end of the pipe centered. Ca

I'm gotten really spoiled here in Florida. To pump gas at my Mobile station, I just wave a little transponder attached to my key ring at the Pegasus logo on the pump face. The pump 'enables' in about 1-2 seconds, I then fill the tank. The gas is charged to my credit card account, so all I do is e

Kristi, I think what you really need is the Spitfire SUV. This little known Malvern project was obviously years ahead of it's time. If only the BLMC product planners had had the foresight, Well, anyway, the prototype pieces do exist, and can be seen surfacing on eBay from time to time. It

Thanks for the reply Terry. Let us know how yours work out. I'm looking at some R/R on SU's, and I'd use the GJ if they work OK. Carter --- Terry Thompson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Carter, > I had made a similar inquiry to my local parts guy > about Grose-jet reputation for leakage, because

Terry, I hope the Grosse Jet's work out for you. I had the opposite experience. In the process of re-building the SU's on my 1147, I ordered and installed a set of the Grosse Jets. I had not been having any fuel control problems, I just did it as part of normal R/R. Well, those things never d

Brad, Since you are interested in safety anyway, fit a roll bar, then use it for the rear upper belt mount. As for the axle, if it's bent where the flange attaches, then it's a write-off, but if it's bent in the shaft area, consider having it straightened. Any competent shop with a press should b
