Re: Differential ring gear wear question
Thanks Tom, I don't mind spending the money to do it right but I'd rather not spend $500 for gears I don't need. I had planned on keeping them as a set. The first ring gear from the rear end that...

Re: Differential ring gear wear question

Re: Clutch release fork question
This is the style that I just purchased. Compared to the two picture above the hole position is different so that the arms are further back.

Re: Clutch release fork question
Thanks, I will do so. I actually have an original set from a dealer in Michigan. The thing that threw me from the newer style is that the arms are longer and the hole seems to be in a different...

Re: Mac's survey
Glad to see the reply back from Ecklers. Mac's used to be fine, it was the past year or so that something changed and the shipping went up but got slower. Hopefully they can right the ship.

Re: Mac's survey
When did Eckler's take over? I've ordered from them in the past for my '51 Chevy (can I use that word here?) and have been pleased with them. I even had to send back a master cylinder and had no...

Re: Tie rod question
I used my vise partly open with a towel to hold in like a V and it bent back to straight. I wonder why they were hollow, I think it would have been easier to just thread a solid rod.

Re: Speedster Project
