Ed has pretty well covered this; I'll just add this link to Loctite Nickel Anti- Seize: https://tds.us.henkel.com//NA/UT/HNAUTTDS.nsf/web/E898A939BCCBDBFE8825718700 00DBC5/$File/NICASL-EN.pdf I've a
Any off- road adventure needs warm clothing, communications gear (cell phone), and water. A few energy bars would be a good idea for emergencies. Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ --Original Message-- I've b

After some front suspension changes, my Mirage had no way to connect a speedometer cable. Fortunately, a helicopter airspeed indicator fit into the same hole as the old speedo. A pitot static tube w
I bought my pitot static tube from Dweyer Instruments. It is a small diameter tube and extends about 5" higher than the body; I think one important point is that it is mounted at the nose so the inf
Yes, I was just looking at the site; I hope this bodes well for its continuation. BTW; has anyone ever used one of those engine simulation programs? What did you think of them? Are they worthwhile a
Dave, Mayf, & Dick; I haven't bought it yet; I tried a borrowed copy to see if it looked any good at all. I'm afraid Ricardo is over my head and budget but some of the others may not be. One thing I
Aircraft used 400Hz AC power because far less iron was needed in the magnetic cores of the transformers used in the electronics. This reduced the size & weight of the transformers considerably. Some
If I had a very heavy load I'd think about splitting the system into branches; this way each branch can deal with lower current. Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ --Original Message-- From: land-speed-bounce
I agree-- switch & relay contacts, etc are rated separately for AC and DC operation. Make sure the toggle switches are rated for high current DC operation; using a 110VAC rated toggle switch on 12 o
You might look in the archives; a while back I posted a table of recommended wire sizes for current draw that I found in an aerospace handbook. It also had fuse/circuit breaker sizes for various wir
Thanks for the reference to DynoSim. I went to their website and took a look; I even downloaded their instruction manual and learned a bit about what the software assumes and what is analyzed and wh
Thanks, Ray. I've wondered about whatever happened to it. Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ --Original Message-- From: land-speed-bounces+neil=dbelltech.com@autox.team.net [mailto:land-speed-bounces+neil=dbel
Cruise through your local junkyard and find a coolant recovery tank that looks like it will work. Most are plastic these days. Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ --Original Message-- From: land-speed-bounces+
Maybe I'm wrong but I think that any pressure cap has a vacuum relief valve built- in. I have never bought one that made any reference to this but it seems logical-- just one of those unsung feature
If you have a hypoid rear end :) then you need an appropriate gear oil, not SAE 30W. Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ --Original Message-- From: land-speed-bounces+neil=dbelltech.com@autox.team.net [mailto:

Good for you, Keith-- keep up the good work. You'll be glad you quit. I did 30 years ago by switching from cigarettes to little "Between the Acts" cigars (which you don't inhale) and then eventually
I have a Dewalt angle grinder that I use with an abrasive cutoff wheel sometimes; it won't do anything but straight lines, of course. I also have a Ryobi reciprocating saw with bi-metal blades that
My guess is that volumetric efficiency falls off as RPM rises; the cylinders just don't get filled with fuel/air. Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ --Original Message-- From: land-speed-bounces+neil=dbelltec
