Re: 58 TRUK intro
the resin might eat into the plastic, i'd do a test piece to confirm compatibility
i'd also scuff the plastic with some 80 grit sandpaper to give it some bite

Re: 58 TRUK intro
the cost of front end accessory brackets is stupid expensive, as many of you know i preach build your own
i had my alternator out to replace the regulator this week and took a few pics of the bracket everything was cut out with a 4.5'' grinder with a cut off wheel and a drill press for holes 3/16'' flat plate, some 3/8'' thick wall tubing for spacers and an adjuster bar i had laying around it may be a little too industrial for some, but it has worked flawlessly for 30k miles here's the view from the front, same basic location as the original generator side view with alt removed front view 3 bolts and spacers that go into the vortec head the thought/design process is pretty simple: start with a cardboard template of the head bolt locations transfer to the main plate, lay out the mounting bolt locations, then the alternator bolt location to clear the head trim plate to a nice shape and fabricate the actual alternator mount, i traced the main plate to make the shape of the smaller plate for the spacers i estimated the length and bolted it up to check belt alignment, then adjusted the length to fit i tack welded the spacers on while the bracket was bolted to the motor for the adjusting bracket i cut the slotted end off a bracket i had, bolted it to the alternator and welded 1'' angle down to reach an existing bolt no extreme engineering or autocad drawing needed, just designed and fabricated on the motor fabricating your own brackets allows you to place components where you want them, not where ''they'' want them it started with my ac bracket, all the universal brackets mount the compressor way high to be universal i wanted my compressor low and out of view when looking at the motor

Re: 58 TRUK intro
Ya, great pic. Some people are wimps. When people see my 56 driven in the rain they get all bug eyed. Only thing I won't drive in is ice/ snow.

Re: 58 TRUK intro
This is a HUGE impact to online forums of any kind.
Over the last few months there have been many, many complaints about slow access and the addition of advertisements on Photobucket. So, to deal with the online traffic problems they, without warning, cut off all 3rd party access to photos and hold them ransom for a $399 annual subscription rate. This is obviously a move to just eliminate the traffic instead of upgrading their systems and maybe just charge a nominal extra fee for it. I expect they are either going to file for bankruptcy or they will have to back off what they did. It was a totally arrogant move. If I were a member and even if they backed off, I would be moving elsewhere with my photo hosting service. Ogre, when you find an alternative hosting source, I hope the site will give you permission to edit all your posts to change your photo links. I also hope you have all your photos archived on your own hard drives or you are really up the creek. |

Re: 58 TRUK intro
Hi, I've been using www.Postimage.com since the mess up with photobucket. I like it much better than photobucket and it's free! I like you and many others lost many stored pics which were on photobucket, not to mention time it takes to upload, etc.

Denee;)
Thank you Jim!(I don't want to high jack here) I'll post a little thread about the crap that we went through soon, it's been a crazy ride. Long story short, we moved away from the flooded home, and bought a nice place in Cypress, Tx. We've been here a little over a month and I've been working crazily trying to get my shop up and running.
The 59 Apache was spared due to being stored away from the flood, but my 67 Mustang(totally under water), the 73 Triumph was up on my Maxjax and got halfway. Again, thank you~ I'll be back! dne' Quote:
