    Do have to do any cutting to add flares?
  3. That's what i was looking for! Thanks!
  4. Yeah, I was planing on cutting out all the rust. Then mig welding in a patch.The rail looks fine on the inside, no rust. It seems that it came with a renforcement patch from the factory?Thanks guys.
  5. Can someone tell me if cleaning then welding a double patch over this rust hole (in picture) is OK? If so ,any pictures of same repair job anywhere?:stupid:

    The R180 has the 5 bolts where the shaft goes into it.
  7. Ekustom replied to Ekustom's post in a topic in Suspension & Steering
    It looks like the R 200 to me.

    After reading ( Just a heads up: http://www.betamotorsports.com/benchracing/index.html ) I'm not so sure either.

    The driver’s side halfshaft is 3/8” to 7/16" shorter than the passenger side.
  10. Ekustom replied to Ekustom's post in a topic in Suspension & Steering
    Is there a way to tell R200 half shafts from R180 halfshafts just by looking at them(with out splined section)?

    Hello, Does anybody know the lamp # for the instrument panel lights?The bulbs only say 12V 3.4W on then.

    Good stuff. Had to add it to my favorites.

    Ok, this is the last dumb question I ask ( I hope). Every article I've read on the R200 swap into a 71 Z say's to get the r200 HALF SHAFTS also.Motorsport Auto tells me that the R180 halfshafts will work fine. Has anybody used the R180 halfshafts on the r200 swap?Will it work?

    Oh, I do not have the original relay that the fan came with.But yeah that one would be rated for that fan.
  15. Ekustom replied to z_boi's post in a topic in Engine & Drivetrain
    I believe a starter pulls from 150-250 amps.That's why batteries are rated in cranking amps,usually 500 - 650 cold cranking amps?The battery puts out this current not your alternator.What I was concerned with is the instantaneus current rating on the relays I have. I know they are rated for 30-40 full load amps ,but wasn't sure what instantaneus amp rating the contacts had . Rather than taking a chance of melting the conatacts I was just going to use the low speed windings of the two speed motor until I got a cut sheet on the relays I'm using.

    So far the only thing I'm concerned with is Starting amps on my Tarus fan .I haven't measured it yet myself,but was told it pulls 130 amps on start up and 40 amps running amps in high speed mode. I have an upgraded alternator with a 90 Amp out put.Maybe I'll just run it in low speed .This is another thing to keep in mind ,can your alternator handle the load?Don't forget you might be running your lights ,stereo also.The clearence is perfect ,I have about an inch to spare.

    I just got one at the junkyard from a 93 V6 3.8 Ford Tarus. It's two speed and has a shroud that fits the radiator close to perfect.It pulls way more air than even the Flexlite fan I have on on truck.It was $20.I just need to buy a temp control.I recomend not getting the flexalite contoller with cap. tube.(kind of flimsy).
  18. r/c

    Which one is it ? I have one called Midnight from Taito R/C.The one I really want is just the body .I believe 1/10th scale.Let me know what you find. Thanks

    Did anybody come up with the mod diagram for the 240?Is it basically plugging all vent lines except for one to the filler neck?
  20. Ekustom replied to blitzkraig's post in a topic in Electrical
    Thanks.I measured about 1.7 Ohms on the primary side of the coil.Is this a disadvantage?I would think it would limit my secondary voltage.It's a Crane PS20,should I upgrade or stick with this one?
  21. Ekustom replied to blitzkraig's post in a topic in Electrical
    How many ohms would you consider low?
  22. Ekustom replied to blitzkraig's post in a topic in Electrical
    I just asked Motorsport Autop the same question they said yes.I'm gonna investigate some more though.
  23. Ekustom posted a post in a topic in Suspension & Steering
    How much of an offset does the R200 MUSTACHE BAR have?
  24. Can I use the Crane PS 20 I was using on my Crane ignition with the E12-80?Or should I be using the 280 coil?
  25. Are you still selling the 4x4 calipers for stock rotors?
