Default Re: new build with zero clearance,Hagerty

Crazy, I would say no. I noticed the shop that did the work for him has model T stuff featured in there catalog first. so maybe their T experience is coming through on thier A babbits. Also at 240 for the three mains poured and cut, the time not spent finishing and preparing for a burn in might be the reason for the low cost.



But do you consider the amish crazy for churing butter and using horses? Them not having curtains might seem crazy till you think well they dont have lights so you wont see anything in there. Due to price and location I might go there if i need a Babbitt. And well get to see if the work holds up through the videos. Unless haggerty doesn't want to show its failures. Im thinking they will though.


Now if I was not someone trying to have the fun of working on my A a lot or had a car set up pro for touring or just for trouble free. I would go with 1.5 thousandths and pay a babbiter who put a near mirror finish on them
