Euro KPH speedometer

Hard to find, cable driven 240KPH speedometer with reset It was working when I pulled from my car. I found a 260KPH and thought it would be somewhat unique $128 shipped

Also look at Seltec compressors. Same as Sanden. As far as insurance goes, look into Grundy which is a classic car insurer that has been around forever. I pay $275 a year for full coverage and a declared value of $37K No mileage restriction except it can't be used for shopping or a DD

Re: Refinishing BBS RC090 Wheels - Pictorial and Video

I opted to skip the splines, they are an absolute pain to install. Very true. When I bought the new stainless spline bolts, the trick I used was a dab of grease on the spline and once I got them to grab in the grooves, the nut on the back side pulled them tight and I was able to torque them to 22-f...

Re: Refinishing BBS RC090 Wheels - Pictorial and Video

Those bolts are not splined as original. After speaking with several wheel restorers in town, I determined new hardware was not necessary and I had my originals chromed at a cost of about $1.50 for each pair of nut and bolt. Those bolts are torque specific but I am not sure what it was. What I did w...

Re: Schrick 284/280, valve clearances same?

I have a re ground 284 cam done by Schneider cams in CA Their recommendations .010. That cam is nasty and when you get into it, about 2500 RPMs all hell breaks loose. My motor is an M90 over bored, 10:1 compression, ported and all the other goodies like balancing etc. I don't have enough miles on it...

Hey Ralph, do you have the socket the flash light plugs into? There's guy on eBay that rebuilds them for around $50. He will even take non working units in trade. He did mine and it looks new. He also sells them outright
