    unswedge me

    Any shop with a manual knee mill ( Bridgeport ) could clean those off with a boring head pretty quick. Not having that option, then maybe the hole saw and a solid drill press. Personally I'd just look for new studs grind/cut em off flush on the back side and press them out. Grab a 1/2 in bolt...

    Torsion bars or sway bar

    I can't help with specifics but see if you can find the rate of the stock bar somewhere and see if the manufactures will give you the rates on their bars. Might take a phone call or 3 to get the numbers. If the aftermarket bars are the same rates, materials, heat treats etc. just buy the...

    Torsion bars or sway bar

    There's not really a simply answer. Stiffer/tighter bushings will eliminate some of the "dead" zone between where the spring ( torsion bar) and the anti-roll bar begin to effect weight transfer. Keep in mind that a heavier roll bar WILL effect an individual wheel rate also. Two schools of...

    Drum brakes, all new, pulls left hard, hub still gets HOT

    I might be inclined to call Porterfield and ask if even remotely possible that they managed to send you two different pad compounds. Dave

    Switching from single to dual master cylinder

    As already pointed out the distribution block provided in that kit really does not work as advertised. Stupid design! You would need to make or extend one of your existing front brake line to use it. Seems after a few years they would have figured it out and got it correct. I like others blocked...

    Generic question: which brakes should lock first in an hard/panic stop?

    By testing on wet roads or gravel, both relatively low friction compared to dry pavement you're not really getting a picture of what happens . You're not able to create enough friction to create substantial deceleration and the resulting weight transfer to load the fronts. Example...on a track...

    Generic question: which brakes should lock first in an hard/panic stop?

    Not going to write a book here but a couple of things to keep in mind about braking. Tire and surface friction are load dependent ( to a point ) a tire with more load will generate greater traction ( again to a point ). When testing brakes you really don't want to apply them in what I call the...
