a grainy pic of my Drag DR-54's. I've got no complaints so far. sjd

nope, I'm afraid I don't have knowledge to pass on. i just send mine out for rebuild. I wouldn't mind trying one someday... a place in atlanta called southern gear has a bearing/seal/etc rebuild kit. i'm still waiting for my rebuilt one to get back before I pull my mostly working one out. When i replaced the first one with a mostly working one, we drained the really bad one, and parts of bearing carrier came out on the drain magnet. OUCH! I have a picture somewhere...

it's most likely the bearings inside the trans. I've had two. one was a TERRIBLE rhythmic clunk that would disappear when i pressed the clutch. the one in the car now has just started clunking. sjd

little hands make it look bigger... sjd

Glad I'm not the only one... Saw this thread and was thinking "you guys eat and drink in your cars?? sjd

Cold one today. A bunch of people seemed missing.

With ANY centerlock setup, you should have a safety keeper. This can be a spring pin, a pair of little tines that pop out, a safety clevis, whatever keeps the nut on the hub even if it loosens up. I was a data guy and a mechanic on a professional lemans prototype race team, I have 'knock ons' on my austin healey (early center locks, oddly without keepers). The cobra replica guys who run center nuts on their halibrands safety wire them in place for street use. just my .02. sjd

Thanks man, its really coming along. Sjd

Here's a new one. Haven't gotten to the lowered suspension yet. sjd

There is wave in the weave. They're real.

Cool meet! And the weather was just perfect! Thanks for setting it up.

Is there going to be a January meet? Trying to finish my floors in time.

The first real outing. I've only had the car a month. sjd

I've had solexes, and SU's. I've had british cars as well as japanese and german. sjd
