What I use is a home built puller. Well, it doesn't pull , but breaks loose the corrosion between the brass shaft and the tin clock hand. You have to be very careful and not touch the clock face as that will cause damage. If you look at CH-4 photo you will see that the pliers contacts the shaft just below the flange of the hand. Apply a small amount of pressure by squeezing the pliers. Do this again 180 deg from your first contact. What you want to do again is break the corrosion contact between the clock stem and the hand. Once the hand starts to move stop and use your finger nails to remove the clock hand. If you try and do this all in one step you will bend the large flange of the clock hand. Also, I use a soft paper towel that goes around the clock stem so the clock face is protected from finger oil and also protects the face from pliers contact. Let me know if you have any questions.

My set of Z hubcaps arrived earlier today and they are better than I ever expected, being NOS and have their original packing materials!

Before you send it in, you might want to remove the rubber pads. They might disappear when the tank gets cooked.

I've got an LD28 block and crank build on the go. At 84x90 (stroke/bore) It's still only 3.2. The Rebello 3.35 is an 89mm custom Crower crank.

From Rebello I got titanium valve retainers, pistons, rods, bearings etc... I will be using a ported and bigger valve E31. Machine work will all be done locally. Crank repair and stroke was done by Marine Crankshaft.

I want to know about the normal set of carbs you have. What's wrong with them?

It requires you have a diesel crank to offset grind and a block that will go to at least 89mm - I believe. Thats the way mine is anyway . You can pair is with any head with any compression - that’s a matter of preference . I think he can make a 3.0 out of any L28 block and crank . To get the extra .2 required a longer stroke . I sent my diesel crankshaft and a N42 block and $$$ and I got back all the ingredients to put one together . Rebello preps the block and crank - custom pistons and all bearings .

Those are amazing! Best I have ever seen.

I would look at what local sources, like Chet, have if you want to go that route. I put the shiny bumpers on my well-aged 73. I didn't care that they are far nicer than the rest of the car, but I gave away the bumpers that came off that car a long time ago.
