The thing with pools/spas is just because the water looks good does not mean it is. When I was in the business we made a lot of repair calls to people who tuned their pool water “by eye”. If you get the PH and total alkalinity way off the pool can look clear but be eating your heater heat...

Honestly I don’t know, been a while since I machined any and I wanted to brush up on it. Took about 5x longer than if I would have used aluminum and twice as long as stainless. In the end the 12” shifter weighed less than the 7.5” steel one out of a Celica. Got it up high enough to feel right...

Wild- I’d look over the carb with a fine toothed comb

What do the chamber side of the heads look like / spark plugs?

Been tinkering with the 1967 Toyota pickup with the 18RG / W50 swap. Machined a shifter out of titanium

Making jets? Drill one and check it. I don’t think you will be oversize. Might be fussing over nothing and the set screw costs less than a dollar. You might be surprised what a quality chuck will do for reducing runout. Figure out what taper your spindle is and get a ball bearing Jacob’s...

Wild- that is about twice what I paid a few years ago. It’s too bad David isn’t active on the board anymore. I think he bought all the stuff to crimp and rebuild bendix boosters. I know that Booster Dewey isn’t actually Booster Dewey anymore, he sold the shop.

Sounds like a bad brake booster diaphragm. Booster Dewey could fix it for you

Could be worth a trip to the eye doctor. They might be able to help you out.

I can’t comment on your setup. Hard to go wrong with a speedglas brand. I have had one for years and have found it to be robust, and the consumables are reasonable. I have a fresh stash of outer lenses in the toolbox.

Couple more pics of it from late last year. It has been sitting this winter, good news is I finally sent off the vinyl top trim to have it redone.

I mounted it in front.

If you can’t find them draft something up and have a local waterjet or laser place cut them out.

I never took any pics measuring up from the bottom, and the trunk lid is likely a washing machine or Kia hood by now.

Looks like they are 7”, should fit

I did- that thing is nuts. I’m shooting for a 1970s inspired build.

Been working on the Toyota Stout. Got the rear axle swapped and the 15x7” wheels on it. Also working on cleaning it up, pounded a few dents out of the roof.
