I haven't been able to work on the car for almost 3 weeks.....
here are some pics of some things I worked on in January before the ice age... The last one is my system I invented for a removable front licence bracket, I have this on my mustang cobra, it works like a receiver hitch....

QUOTE NOBODY LIKED my battery cut off switch? I thought it was cool. Nope. Sorry. We all took a vote and the consensus is... NOT COOL (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) OK, ok... everything is cool. We're just jealous. Thanks for the link John. I know jack about this stuff and I have to get plumbing soon. Part of my put it together before I tear it apart to paint it project. So... I'z got one of them fancy aluminum tanks and an RX7 cooler and an original 911 thermostat. Probably more bizaarr hose fittings than Clayton's last "event". Where do I start? |

Part of my put it together before I tear it apart to paint it project. So... I'z got one of them fancy aluminum tanks and an RX7 cooler and an original 911 thermostat. Probably more bizaarr hose fittings than Clayton's last "event". Where do I start? I would start by getting a real oil cooler (a new one with proper fittings). I would do the same with the thermostat. This would at least get rid of SOME of the fitting fiasco. If you want to keep your old used mis-matched components, I would start by welding proper fittings onto the RX7 cooler (the Japanese fittings are oddball). You can find adapters for the 911 thermostat, but I still think you would be ahead by buying a new one. Next decide exactly how you will plumb it with oil filter and all in mind. (method to drain the tank, method to vent the tank, method to vent the engine, unions near the engine for engine removal, etc.) Count up the required fittings, guess at the total hose you will need, take a deep breath and place the hose/fittings order. If you are lucky, you will only need to place 2-3 orders before you are done. The "AN" fittings are interchangeable with JIC 37 degree fittings. The AN is a Army-Navy specification and it seems that all "AN" fittings are anodized aluminum. The industrial hydraulic fittings (JIC - Joint Industrial Counsel) are typically brass or plated steel. The fittings are measured by - (dash) sizes. The - (dash) sizing is in increments of 1/16" and are nominal sizes. For instance, a -16 hose is listed as a 1" hose, but in reality the ID is 7/8", and a -12 hose is listed as 3/4", but in reality is 5/8" ID. I hope this helps a little. Good luck. |
