I ordered four 16 mm airhorns and ARP flywheel bolts for my 1973 Spitfire. The '73 was a transition year. It had the 1500 motor and the big clutch, but it had 3/8 flywheel bolts. The flywheel bolts sent were 7/8" long. Way to short for an aluminum flywheel, which is thicker than the cast iron one and needed collars for the 3/8 bolts because it is drilled for the 7/8" bolts.
I am becoming a little uptight about some of the parts I have bought lately, the dollar amount is heartattack city when you add it all up and you still have the original body up on a couple of engine stands which you spent more time and money screwing with than seems reasonable on afterthought. My point is, I called the rep for Advanced Performance Technology about the quality of the ramstacks and asked if no stacks would be better than stacks that varied by 2 mm in length. The conversation led to the rep saying "no" airhorns required an o-ring between the filter backing plate and the carb. I may be obstinant but rarely wrong. The last time I remember being wrong was when I agreed I was wrong but it turned out I was right. Larry *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** Your messages not reaching the list?
