Thanks Jiminy, checking in.

 

Will be putting my avatar Zipper roadster and the ‘29 extended cab pickup up for sale in the spring. Both will be priced to sell

 

Present, J

 

I'm on!

 

Sth Seas watching

 

Checking in for the month, but I may be letting the Cabriolet go soon

 

here

 

Yep. I probably started a convo too late in last month about an English banger 140CI it came in both 6 & 8 port, would be interested in your thoughts regarding performance potential of siamesed inlets vs one port per valve.

 

Might as well admit I'm here as well.... life got in the way and I did not get to drive my A Bone much this summer...
Looking forward to making up for that.. Time to show it some love and get it ready for spring> <Grin>

 

Hi all,

no progress to report here - still collecting parts for the transmission swap - in the meantime, I'll soak up all the information that comes from the banger threads.

 

made it sick & all

 

Just heard that my T170 is ready and shipping back to me soon. Cannot wait to install that.

Hope you each are well!

 

I couldn't find one, so I made one.

Is it December already?

 

Yes Dan, Santa in a couple weeks.

Very nice looking cover BTW, J

 

Still here, still interested but done nothing due to a new ball joint(Hip)

 

Here, still getting parts together and getting all the knowledge I can

 

Still messin with this damn Akron-Hed. Latest project was a new water pump complete with water bypass to help cool the rear cylinders. The yellow hose is a backup plan in case I can’t get a 5/8” hard line bent to fit in this relatively tight spot. It looks easy now… but the fan bracket and dizzy complicate things a lot!

 

That's a fine looking little pump. What's it from?
I hate to suggest it because it looks so hokey, but you could make your crossover pipe out of copper pipe and sweat fittings to get nice tight bends. Painted or powder coated to match engine color it might not be too obvious.

 

Would someone post some pictures of a tappet cover for a B engine that provides a spin on oil filter. I'm curious how it gets it's supply oil to the filter.

 

One of the countless accessory pumps made for T’s. This one is unique as it has an actual centrifugal pump housing design, rather than a simple “agitator” to stimulate the thermosyphon flow. We’ll see how I feel when it comes time to put it all together, I’ve been known to put in waaaaaay too much effort on seemingly simple tasks like this. Until then, the hard line is there waiting it’s turn…

 

My first foray into the four banger world. My buddy owns a CNC lathe so we whittled on this flywheel today.

 

Good to see @alchemy what are your plans?

 

That’s a really nice friend…! Did you have to promise to clean all the iron crud out of the coolant tank…?

 

A T touring with an A motor.

 

I'm here, still looking for leads on this two man car Jim Etter built around the remains I sold him around 1980. Some body has had to have seen it. Merry Christmas! Bob

 

Nah, it’ll never work…

 

I`m still here "B " four banger and gearbox in now , clutch and brake work hanging off the gearbox and currently making cylinder head studs to fit a Thomas head to the "B" engine.Video on my Youtube channel ( rubbish video but gives an idea of how it works)

 

TRIKEJUNKIE : Very nice work!

 

Cool. Looking forward to a build thread

'Never!' Hahaha
