I would very much like to have brought home a supercharged, 427-engined '62 Chevy II coupe that I saw in the carpark of the Route 66 Diner on Central Avenue, Albuquerque . . .
But today, despite appearances, it didn't rain, so I took advantage of the lull. I massaged the rear shock crossmember a little more, then massaged the slot I cut in the body shell, then marked up the centreline of the rear shock top mounts on the body and crossmember, and then, all of a sudden, the part I was modifying to fit looked like it wanted to fit. So a couple of self-tapping screws and a row of tack welds later, here it is, temporarily installed: This way I could make the bodywork fit the rear shock crossmember. More work from the passenger compartment with a hammer, and then I laid in a row of "bridge-welds" (complete with hedgehogs, which I'll grind off when time comes to install the shock crossmember for good). The wire-frame of the rear seat squab doesn't hit the modified bodywork, so that's a bonus. And I think I'll fold up a channel to retain the bottom of the rear-seat-to-boot divider and tack-weld it in place while I'm at it. Still to do: the returns at the right and left side of the crossmember. I'll make them conform to the body's profile and then fill in the gaps with 1.6 sheet. And then the donor piece might even look like it was part of the car originally. Rob |

I'm looking to buy a Hilborn PG150 pump, in the "00" scale (sometimes referred to as a PG150-00 or a #00 pump). Not overly fussed if it is a PG150A, PG150B or PG150C.
I have a PG150-0 pump but it is significantly larger than what I need. I can tame it down, but would prefer a 00 pump if I can find one. The pump will be used in my grey motor FED project, and will be leaned on. Hard. A pump in working order that has been flowed would be ideal, but a pump that has lived under a bench for a while or is in unknown condition would be considered. The 00 pumps can be identified by the serial number stamped into the pump - they all start with 00 (e.g. 00-12345). Cheers, Harv |

I have used : Door to Door Transport. & Carways, There are others if you check on Google. I sent a car to WA [from memory, the carrier was All States Transport], Some Car Carriers have side curtains which provide extra protection. Local Carriers are often used to pick up from your place & transport to the Depot of the Company you have contracted. Best to ask about that before deciding. Good Luck, Kevin.

Excellent, thank you RET.
My 20 year parts catalogue starts at EJ so the Catalogue number of 15.390 is listed but not the FE/FC part number. It's good to know the proper description too. |
