    C3/4/5 frankenstein frame

    Nice job Chris. I haven't logged in for a long while but wanted to see how your build was coming. After a year I finally uncovered mine and got it back into the garage. Gotta figure out where I left off with rewiring the car for the 2nd time.

    Wilwood Master with Adjustable Proportioning Line Size

    Thank you all. Before I pull out all the new stainless line going to the rear, does anyone know a supplier for 1/2-20 for 1/4" inverted flare line coupler? I've searched high and low and from what I see they only offer for 5/16" line with that thread size. I purchased the MasterCool...

    Wilwood Master with Adjustable Proportioning Line Size

    Good afternoon, First off, I don't know the laws of hydraulics hence the reason for this post. The wilwood brake Proportioning valve has 3 ports for 3/16 line. 2x for the front calipers and 1x for the rear calipers. The Vette uses 2x 3/16 line for the front calipers and 1x 1/4 for the...

    C5 brake master cylinder in a C3, Line adapter question

    Bringing this very informative thread back to the top. Firstly, thank you for posting this information. I had a question regarding the C5 being used with manual brakes on the C3. From what I could find, both masters have a 1" bore. This would lead me to believe I would have no issues using...

    Very interested in seeing what you do. I was thinking of installing some type of fire suppression as well. I'm in the fire pump business but I don't think I'll be able to utilize any of my knowledge with an on board wet system.

    New from Long Island NY

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_Kbnudc6jY It runs. Did 1 full lap around the storage unit. Now rebuilding the rear wheel bearings. Found some dents in the half shafts so after much research decided to go with Toms 3.5".

    SPC UCA Race or Street

    Think I'm gonna have to give SPC a call. Wondering if I should use the longer ball joints. Not sure what the advantage is but at full droop the ball joint cup looks a little stressed, not that it will see full droop often.

    I'm not as technical as a lot of you here, but I do like trying to solve problems. For your actuator limiting, if you can't move the limit switches, could you put the base of the actuator on a floating bracket with a spring. Have 2 pieces of metal, 1 rigid mounted and 1 floating held in place...

    SPC UCA Race or Street

    Thanks very much. You didn't have to do all that. I was just hoping to order some straps before the arms come. Think they'll be here this weekend so I'll pull it all apart and make something work. I like the cable idea as I have that stuff at work. Maybe a free solution.

    SPC UCA Race or Street

    Ive read your post numerous times over the week. Thank you for the info. How long of a limit strap did you need to use?

    SPC UCA Race or Street

    Looking to buy a set of SPC upper control arms to make it a little easier for me to do the alignment myself. I plan on trying autocross but will also be street driven (local cars and coffee meets). My question is, should I go with the Race version (delrin bushings) thats like $40 cheaper, or...

    Some interesting metal working tools

    Exactly. USA made and cheap. I would spent more time gathering materials and probably a day or 2 building plus probably spending 3/4 the cost buying the materials. Did you go with Swag?

    Fusible Links?

    Thanks for clarifying. I decided to go with AMG fuses rated for 60 amps for the time being. Believe my alt puts out 60amps but don't have an amp probe yet to verify. I noticed with the universal "hot rod" style harness I have 10 awg coming from the alt and going into the fuse box then another...

    Some interesting metal working tools

    Perfect for that. I've been using cut off wheels, jig saw, sawzall, and hacksaw for a long time. I'm working out of a storage unit so I had to pass up on many good used deals for a proper bandsaw. My buddy had one of these saws so I started researching, that's where I found swag. USA made and...
