Re: Brake caliper types

:oops:

I did buy a set thinking that the photo was a std photo that they use as per most of teh other big sellers of these type of items. I can confirm that the calipers are exactlylike teh photo and are a very odd single pot caliper at that.

At least they are now taking them back.

Re: Brake caliper types

ebay item number 320473807418

the picture is of the actual caliper listed !! I thought it was a generic picture they were using.

From my green books I can only see referance to the 3 and 4 pot calipers. What is puzzling is how they have come to the conculsion they are for a amazon???

Brake caliper types

How many brake caliper types were fitted to amazons? I know there is the 3 pot caliper as fitted to single line early amazons. Then late model cars went to the 4 pot caliper with dual lines.

Re: Hur mycket ska jag låta toppen bli planad?

When skimming a head to rais the compression ratio it is best to cc out the chanbers. You need to have the valves fitted and fill the chamber with water measuring how much water you put in to totaly fill teh chamber in the head. For best results you want to deck (plane / skim) the engine block to ma...

Re: Toppackning till 92mm borr

Where can you buy the Elrings gasket from for teh 92 mm bore?

I have heard there are pistons available to fit the early B20 and B18 rods that are 92mm. Does anyone know what they are?

Re: roller tip rockers

TG-Motor look to do them I've emailed them for more details so that looks promising.

From what I've read on the turbobricks forum the ones used by V classics was a Buick V8 unit possibly altered to fit. There is no information on exactly which buick engine that was.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Your estate looks very nice. I like the two tone paint that has been used - very unusual.

Re: Insugsfläns

For a little bit extra I would pay to go for the 10mm thick one. Is that site available in english? as I would like to buy oneof those and probably a B30 one for my brother.
