"Beale St"??? in the shop overhead?

Bolts are M10x1.25 but don't know the length...

I need to source this front cross member hardware Norm @ Zeddsaver has it, but only on an exchange basis. I have looked through all my hardware but haven't been able to find them. Any of you guys parting cars have this hardware? The washers are more important than the bolts. Also size pitch and thread would be good to know if someone can check for me

Looks great. Love the Hanger pics

I sort of like that

It takes a while but you'll love it in the end. It is surprising all the little flaws that show up when you start blocking a big panel. The upside it will look like a mirror when it's finished and buffed

@kats Are you ok after the earthquakes? I wasn't sure where in Japan you were...

Those are very nice sheds

I haven't ever lifted the rear wheels but I suspect it makes it easier to get the tranny into the tunnel and not have to worry about ground clearance

Hmmmmmm, could be...

I agree seems simple in principle. Best bet would be someone who works on window ac units. Also if you need it repaired, make sure it doesn't need length added. That would be the time to do it

The welding won't take long but the prep work will take a little while and the hole below it will have to be retapped. Probably not out of line. The other numbers seem ok too

If I pulled a starter out of a box, I don't know that I would have looked it over or shone a light down past the drive gear to look for missing screws. I would have worked on the premise that all the screws were in it. I suspect they are hard to see around that gear when properly assembled.

The copper line normally has a bulb at the end that sits against the evaporator in the dash unit. I assume it has gas in it. It could probably be repaired but might be cost prohibitive

Happy Birthday

Well done

Is the starter a "reman"? That may not be on the mechanic if the starter didn't have the screws to begin with...

Contact Mike @ Banzai Maybe he can make some for you you have mail...

Used carbs are hit or miss. Ztherapy is the best play for a solid set of carbs. Rebuilt, rebushed, no vacuum leaks... Reasonable price, I guess that depends on your expectations, varies a lot...

Neighbors... highly over rated

Which Carl???

You can flex the hard lines enough to tip the master out of the way without disconnecting it. I don't know the dimension for you to calculate it and don't have a booster torn apart currently. It is easy to drop the disc down into the booster. It is possible it is already down in there. If it is, the booster will have to come off so you can shake the disc out. If it hasn't fallen down in the I use a little rtv to fix it to the end of the pushrod

When you push the pedal, part #5 in your diagram all moves forward, pushing the reaction disc that pushes the pushrod, that pushes the master cylinder. When you let off the springs in the master cylinder force the pushrod back to keep it in place in part #5

The pulley won't spin because it has a keyway in it. The bolts aren't very large so I wouldn't expect them to be terribly tight

What is your plan for numbering the plates? Dies or engraving? Font?
