I'd have to go back to the various Rootes group history books to get all the names right but you could easily get all the street names from the various Rootes-operated plants, and a few places in the

Sigh. Alright. Send me your ideas and I'll compile a list. If I get enough ideas I'll dust off the C++ Monopoly game I wrote (the beginnings of) a few years ago, and make the appropriate changes to i

I have found the Volvo ones to be easy to work with. The early / middle 70's volvos had two per car, one for each rear brake. Take it, clean it, and replace the internal spring with one that's a litt

The force produced by a piston is the area of the piston times the fluid pressure. Your pedal sinks (farther? further?) more, but the same pedal pressure gets you more rear brakes if you put more pis

They will move as far as they can until the pressure in the system is equalized, i.e. p = F/A results in the same "p" for all four calipers, and the master cylinder as well. So for any caliper, if yo

Your math is impeccable, as usual, but you should specify _which_ piston needs to be large to move the slave a lot. Be careful, now...

Okay, I'll take a swing at that one. How about if we revive the rear axle location debate? It's only been a few months since that one has been pounded to a pulp on the list, but I would like to up th

The good part about the Nissan 2x0Z rear ends is that there are 3 different flavors, the R160, R180, and R200. The R200 was used in Paul Newman's Turbo 300Z Trans Am car, among other things, so it sh

I have an original (real old, anyway) series V tonneau cover that is shorter than what would be required to stretch to the defrogger vents. If yours is the same length then I'm guessing that it won't

Good idea. The tonneau I have is kinda ratty anyway; anything I do to it is unlikely to make it worse. The dash pad I have looks like it's fairly rigid molded vinyl (over a foam base?); the other Tig
