You can use either one. A 90 nipple off the tank will be shorter in height if that’s a concern and then use a straight AN hose fitting.

Height is not a concern. All of the 90* i see have a male end and I need a female end to connect. Anyone sell hoses of various lengths already assembled?

 

[Brandy]

Can ya post a pic? Been years since I messed with any kind of a fuel cell but I'm thinking that you can remove the nipple and stick in a 90 but a pic would help clear up any doubt....

You can build your own hoses. You can buy them assembled to your specs. Just get on the WWW and look for braided AN hoses.

Wheels came today. Fit is fine on the fronts, they clear the calipers and leave plenty of room lock to lock for the tires.

 

[Brandy]

Got the front tires today, Cooper CS5 Grand Touring 205/70/15. Ordered the rears 295/50/15 Cooper Cobra. The back glass gasket came today.

Yanked the left axle out to replace the wheel studs and found the bearing to be DRY. Nearly dry and really loose. Crap.

 

[Brandy]

Where do I get the replacement for this "collar" and what is it called?

 

[Brandy]

I tried entering axle shaft collar but no dice.

 

[Fran B]

That seal surface looks pretty rough.

Usually one scores that locking collar and then a hammer chisel go to work. That area for the seal on that shaft is pretty bad in the pics. Might want to clean it to see how bad it really is. If you can catch a fingernail while dragging across it, time for a new axle. However, if you want to keep it, Green Bearing are going to be your friend.

I have no clue where to get the puller/press to get this apart and back together.

Harbor freight has good presses or local machine shop and perhaps Napa.

Got the breathers and battery cables today. Another box too but I have not opened it yet.

 

[Brandy]

Ordered this for my distributor. On the side of my Mallory dizzy there's a round hole about 1/4 to 3/8" size. What goes in there? A plug?

Windshield seal came today.

Going to have to assemble my own fuel line from the pump to the Summit dual feed fuel rail. Can't find one shaped right. Going to get a length of bendable rod and figure out the shape myself.
