    vert rear seat belt hole location?

    my 63 has front belts, but i want to add rear belts. Anyone know of a recommended location to drill? I can measure the distance and angle of the front belts, but would prefer the factory recommendation.

    Rusted 63 fury vert tack strip

    Every piece of the vert frame is rust free, except the front bow into which the top material folds or is tacked. I cannot find a replacement from any supplier. Am I searching under the correct name? Anyone have a parts diagram for the 63 top? Thanks.

    intermittently dies at idle and backfires

    Thanks, GTX. I like your mantra, too. I once met Mandiba's personal pilot, who was also a Flight Surgeon. Wonderful stories of the Great Man.

    intermittently dies at idle and backfires

    Perioldically, my 63 Fury 400 dies at idle and refuses to run for 5-15 min, then cures itself. It will only run with rapid accel pump shots. did it today on the way to have my new vert top installed! I don't think it is vapor lock, as the temp in PDX this am was 70! My fuel pressure gauge acts...

    Who Likes Aircraft ?

    For some reason, MOPAR fans are posting photos of WWII air to ground attack aircraft. Good! The photo of the F-86 with 6 50 cal firing is spectacular. the later Canadair Sabre, or F-86H had a bigger engine and 4x 20mm cannon, same M-39 as the later F-100 Super Sabre that I flew from '64-79...

    Beethoven 9th symphonie 200 anniversary.

    One of the most elegantly simple concert halls in the world is not a hall, but the Music Shed at Tanglewood, surrounded by the peaceful Berkshire mountains. It was the first, now there are many. At Tanglewood the last concert is always the Beethoven 9th, and the acoustics of the shed are so...

    Bud Anderson passes

    I was stationed at Edwards Sep 88-Aiug 89 and met Bud Anderson, who was a close friend of Chuck Yeager. Julie and I and 3 other people had a private dinner with Yeager, who was as fascinating as you would expect. I think i read that on the 50th anniversary of supersonic flight, he flew in an...

    Who Likes Aircraft ?

    PS the cockpit module was the solution to very high speed ejection: an open seat is lethal above about 500-550. The B-58, the original B-1, and the Vark had capsules. Pilots today face the 600 knot breeze with neck stabilization and arm and leg restraints. I personally evaluated, and flew with...

    Who Likes Aircraft ?

    Don't all ye who post these want to guess as to their location, type, etc??!! The RAAF Mig Killer flew a Meteor made by Gloucster. Howver this was a one-off; the Meteor was no match for the agile Mig, and they were withdrawn from air combat and used air-ground only. I think the USAF F-86s are...

    My factory to Eddie is a 1/4" 24 tpi. I got a bolt from the hardware store, sawed off the top and used it to extend the linkage. Works perfectly. Good luck.

    For all of You Train Lovers

    Elegant, purpose-built pax cars. For a tourist train, not overly pricey. Too bad about the style-free freight switchers up front. The Canadian LRC locos were very pleasing to see.
