No. Uses barrel type springs. Is that from your rod?

Say if u had a blown grey in 1960 before adr's and the laws about turbos and blowers etc, then how could they prove it and wouldnt that mean u dont need a engineers certificate? is this wishful thinking?

Blower as still allowed  Grin Grin spoke to an engineer last week about this   as are V8's up to 312Ci in NSW at the moment as no laws have changed yet.......... if you had one fitted in 1960 it would be up to you to prove it was in place then .....FC427......

I need about 30mm and when the engine torques it comes up on that side even with the link I have made for the engine mount to limit movement  .I guess I could mill a little of my blower adaptor a little of manifold,and a little of carby manifold lower the engine 10mm and it might just fit  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes ::)but I'm just getting lazy in my old age  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin......FC427......

Kathi at least the colour is right and if it destroyed another engine  with larger Ci and more cylinders some one may have cause for embarrassment  Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink.....FC427......
