Tacoma Pictured: a similar size that I borrowed ((and my dad kissing the car good bye after gifting it to me :lol: ) https://lh3.googleuser...

Re: Missing all the fun
Max BMW was one of the first calls I made. They did not have the part, though I may have misidentified it to them. I think when I spoke to them I asked for a M16 x 1.0 when it is actually a 19mm x 1.0 and seems to be a more common size used for motorcycles flywheel pullers. (incidentally it is also ...

Missing all the fun
Alas and a alack, I'm missing the summer fun waiting for a tool and some parts. The beauty and the down side of a classic car. Can't wait to get in another event. Tool: M19 x 1.0 bolt to pull the centrifugal advance off. Parts: well depends but a clutch bearing clip and similar little ditties...Now ...

Re: Harnessing
Oh, I don't see this as harsh at all. I understand the laws of physics better than most. Tumbling down the side of a mountain or face planting into a tree does not require any more than a little loss of control. I don't intend to set any speed records; just a conservative shake down for the car and ...

Re: Harnessing
1 3/4" for an (I presume) an under 1500 lb car? No skin in the game for me-I just like see Don posting. ;) Yes, this car weighs in at 1400 lbs. and has about 50 hp. Is this the part where I'm supposed to puff up my chest and say, "Yeah, but she's wiry." Maybe I should swap the engine...

What exactly is it? It sort of looks like parts from another harness. Does it have an in-date...

Re: Harnessing
Its a little hard to see everything but it looks like you have 2 shoulder straps bolted together then to a single web that goes back and anchors. Is that right? We dont allow Y harnesses because of the loading and dependence on a single strap and anchor. That is a correct description except the two...

Harnessing
I've a new 5 point harness on the drivers side but I wasn't sure where to go with the shoulder attachment. The previous straps (out of date) were on the cross bar that is welded behind the cage; passed through then welded with a secondary strap going to the back deck. In a sense, I suppose I've crea...
