I followed your purchase of the lot of Hewland parts. Looks like a great purchase but you have your work cut out for you sorting and identifying all that stuff. Scotty Young I’m sure would...

I run a BDG in a Sports Racer, so lots of frontal area, at two local tracks. The tracks average 2.5 miles in length with one having a straight +2800 ft long. In a 25-30 minute session I’ll...

2 reasons for my decision to run the heavy weight; i’m running a BDG torque engine (makes max torque over a very broad range) with 275 hp. The FT is rated at 200 ft pounds of torque so I...
I have always used redline shockproof in both my Mk and FT 200 transaxles. I used the lightweight in the Mk and heavyweight in the FT, never had a failure related to lubrication. They shift smooth...

I restored a Bobsy SR6 2 years ago. I used a pair of AP/Lockheed LD20 front calipers. I did have to machine adaptors to fit them to the spindles, which are different than the SR3 spindles....

disengagement is more about the pressure plate needs. I would contact the manufacturer to determine the amount of throw needed. The amount of throw the slave can deliver is a function of the...

The mysterious label your referring to comes with each new crown wheel and pinion in the box. It specifies the recommended backlash as well as the gap to the shim tool. In a used gear set it...

That’s very interesting. I always thought the metal would interfere with the signal. The belly pan on the tub is .90 aluminum. I was thinking about making a hole and covering the hole with...

I’m building new brake cooling ducts for my sports racer which will mount to the outside of the tub. This will necessitate remounting of the transponder which has been mounted in that...
I use the straight strings set up. The kit is a little pricey but once you get it set up and use its definitely worth the price. Measure to the edge of the wheel (assuming the wheels aren’t bent) ...
Hey David
I was on the site a few days ago. Looking good!! I used the link from Bob Alder' s Sports Racer site. Nice pics, looking forward to more info on the history of this side of the Bobsy...

Stress cracks in the gel coat can be caused by several factors. In an older piece (unless it has been recently refinished) the cause is usually due some form of stress to the area...

The parts are at the pattern maker. In a few weeks the bucks will go to the foundry and the order window will close. No more orders after that, if you have an interest please contact me via...

I own a Bobsy Sports Racer as the handle implies. The Bobsy Registry can be found at teamterrificracing.net The original builder of the cars is Jerry Mong whom I believe is still alive. His...
PaulIf the pinion is too deep (no clearance between tool and gear face) you need to ADD shims behind the bearing to move the pinion back. This will give the clearance you are looking for. The...
