Looking good Nick , I reckon you will be hunting the swap meet in Launceston this weekend looking for bits ;D

Thanks Wrangler  , will get my mate to ring you direct , save the middle man thing , his name is Perry

G,day All , Trying to track down for a mate , a Passenger side front qtr window glass for an FC , more than happy to pay what it is worth , needed to finish his car off .

Wife picked up the tube for me today , no problems , 1/8 copper ,same size  as original , $3 for a piece about 250mm long .

Go to the hobby shop  ;) best send wife or girlfriend though , dont think I would of got out of there for only $3 , too many toys in there  ;D

Just have the same problem myself , was suggested to me to try a model shop for the tube .

Sent the wife off today to try it out , will let you know later how she went .

What about a Holden Gemini booster , they are pretty compact

Should fit ,but I am not overly familiar with FE,s  you will have to cut out your side panels and notch your bottom rails a bit am guessing , also the v6 commodore radiators fit pretty good with the same mods .

Reckon you will still have to fit thermos , depending on where your motor ends up sitting , will not be huge amounts of room for a fan

Hers a couple pics of my EK one , might give you some ideas

Think I saw you coming through Copping one Friday arvo as I was filling the boat up , she looked good , you must have been down Port Arthur way ???

Hope you enjoyed your trip around .

How are you sharpening your electrode tip? You need to sharpen it to a conical shape with the grinding grain running along ways on the tip, this will concentrate your arc to the centre and should stop it wandering , you may already be doing it like this? Also what colour tip is on your electrodes .

That's a bugger , thought they would weigh about the same , EK,s  scape over the 1100kg cut off , they are making it harder every year.

Ed, You need to get busy with the 253  ;)

G,day Ed

This is the new formula .

Not sure what FC,s weigh but I guess they are similar to EK,s

Vehicles 1100kg +, Normally aspirated is original mass (kg)x 5 = max capacity in cc , 

But you need to talk to your engineer , there is a heap of stuff you are going to have to upgrade to get it passed with that size engine .

Have a read through this , this is the latest copy , and will tell you everything you need to do
