Re: Project Brandy

Aeromotive Stealth II tanks have fuel fittings at stock location ( under vehicle) which is pretty neat so nothing internal to vehicle ( in case you haven't quite committed yet).

Interested in this Pro Flo install as I am comtemplating getting one myself.

Re: Husky's 65 Restomod

Good outcome, looks the business.

You would expect it to be confidence inspiring given you have performance brakes designed for an 1800 kg car with about 500kg less weight!

Master cylinder size still seems ok?

Like the idea but might have to wait till I have 18" rims.

Re: Husky's 65 Restomod

Luke - some times hole edge clearance or edge margin is based on diameter (i.e 1.5 x D or 2 x D) but really depends on many variables plate thickness being significant. You could also have a hole close to an edge, but load it in opposing direction so would be largely irrelevent. I probably would hav...

Re: Husky's 65 Restomod

Having a quick think i think this is one failure mode...

If you got an axial load ( ie towards or away from vehicle centreline you could fail the ears too.

Re: Husky's 65 Restomod

It comes down to how much meat ( ie material thickness plus strength which also effects stiffness/deflection) the factorye VE point has versus your situation. You have two points to co sider st the spindle you are using 2 attachments ( bearing in mind Ford engineers used 4 bolts) plus the interface ...

Re: Husky's 65 Restomod

They have obviously done what i was alluding too.. just going size for size with caliper bolt (and matching qty). Only down side is by drilling out you are reducing edge clearance slightly in cast spindle.. which may or may not be significant. For a big brake upgrade ( for a car you will track) I li...

Re: Husky's 65 Restomod

Size of bolts to spindle ? Less than M12 or / 1/2"? From engineering standpoint you only have 2 of 4 bolts ( compared with OEM drum brake design) plus much larger reaction forces due to new caliper and more so larger disc radius (leverage arm). Personally I would like to see all 4 spindle bolts...

Re: Husky's 65 Restomod

Depeding on what disc you end up with you could use a hub centric ring or reducing bushes over studs to locate too as otger possible options Also make sure you use equivalent property class bolt ( or grade for the imperial crew). I would suspect a 10.9 or 12.9 in this application . Have daydreamed o...

Re: Husky's 65 Restomod

Good work mate. I was almost going to do the cts-v upgrade to my vy ss commodore .. gathered parts then sold car. This would be a step up again from my 13 2" street or track 2 pots (pbr). I would recommend getting a machine shop to clearance bore so you can ensure concentricity of disc to hub. ...

Re: Vale David Channon aka Boofhead.

Thanks for informing Kerry especially for those like me who were not aware of his situation.

This is very sad news he was such a contributer and a generous person.

RIP Boof you will be missed!

Re: Camshaft

Good choice, spending money on the originals is a waste.

Check out VPW pretty well priced.
