Robert. I have just measured my old disc. The OD of the hub is 66mm and the ID therefore of the disc centre I made 66.5mm. The OD of the spacers is 22mm. Important. I gave you the WRONG PCD the PCD I gave you was for the wheel studs.!!! The best way to mark the blank disc is to place on hub, when ce...

Robert. I listed all the part numbers here, which are from rally design. they are an online supplier and ship all around the world. sorry I have no drawings, the bolts are all UNF and I had to run a dia down set screws to get the thread up to the bolt head then cut them to length. I measured the hub...

50 mile round trip today. Putting the old engine on the rolling road last October has paid dividends with the carb setup as it was running a little rich on the primary's. Its perfect on the 289 can't fault it. Oh Boy what a fantastic sound those exhausts make, Just like the mustang in Bullit. Tim :D...

Vid clip of engine run after setting timing

It runs, It growls, it's the Mutts nuts. Will try to post some vid when I've worked out how. Just a huge thanks to all those who helped and gave advice. Thank you.

Bob. One of the joy's of living in the country side. Mal. No I didn't, but the guy who did the exhaust had a Dunlop tracking gauge, so I gave him a hand and we did it when I picked up the car. Interestingly one turn on of the ball joint was enough to go from toe out to 15* to much toe in. Dizzi dres...

As this all started with the cross member rebuild I'll post the finished project here. nearly done firing up this weekend. Set myself a target of 3 months but have run over by two weeks. The exhaust is by zero, ie zero back pressure. 2 1/4" straight through with a muffler £900 all in. sales@zeroexha...

Magic. that be them. Got my car to the exhaust man on Saturday, should have it back next weekend, all being well, ready to fire up that new engine!
One hell of a mamouth engine fit over Easter.

Martin. just fitted mine at weekend, and I can tell you that there should be a spacer in there, like a fat washer.

The engine arrived Thursday, and to complete my restoration of the engine bay the X member was fitted today. I shall run up the engine next week after the exhaust has been fitted. almost forgot. The car now sits nice and level. Tim :D http://i614.photobucket.com/albums/tt229/tigerbjv666/IMG_0577MA31...

For what its worth. I was running a 600cfm on the 260. I put it on a rolling road before I took the engine out, just so I had a print out for that engine for the record. The guy said it was running a little rich on the primaries, told him I was putting in a 289, and he said they would be perfect mat...

Tony. Had all the aluminium parts aqua blasted, except the bell housing, wish I had done that as well, may have to get the polish out. Martin. you know what! Doesn't matter how long it takes, so long as your having fun and your smiling. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. As for me. I ...

Martin. I started with the wheels and tyres. Xmas eve off came the cross member, and you all know where that went. Tomorrow I pick up the engine from the Red Barron. 289 5 bolt as the final part in the up grades. Hope to have it all in over the weekend with luck. Booked in for a new exhaust on 2 Apr...
