Re: Engine Rebuild Stand
This engine stand is a pretty rocking design. Great to see some of the race car prep spilling over to fabricated tools. The gussets, capped tube ends, bearings in double shear, and some quality TIG welding. Well done. May have to try my hand at one? I do want to swap the head and build the intake ma...

Re: Engine Rebuild Stand
Fantastic job. I’ve been thinking about an engine stand too. I like the design of the Beta tool, but I’m unsure if I’d trip on the two forward reaching legs?
Nice gusset work and the bearings in double shear.

With all due respect John, we have to hook you up with some TIG welding clinics.

Re: Frankensaab , The '78 99L
For what it's worth, I've never actually seen or had an inner driver failure besides a broken axle or tripod taking one out. I think the sleeve would be slightly beneficial as more of a protective armor, but not much need for it otherwise. Let's just say most everything we do for prep is overkill. ...

Re: Frankensaab , The '78 99L
Time to upgrade the inner driver sleeves since it is apart?

Re: Been a while.
With the camshaft fitted it’s all over at 6500. Using B234 turbo injectors in the original place in the manifold, welded in some bosses. Changed over to LE type injection. It won’t let me attach pics, maybe too big a file. Not very tech savvy but will try some more. Yes this website kick my ass whe...

Need a money shot of that. Although those flares look good.

Re: C900 gearbox girdle
Bit of an involved process. By design I left a gap between the inner driver outer flange and the interface with the girdle’s side plate. 54337A38-6221-4B21-BE4D-8F4A469CBA54.jpeg I added (2) .60mm shims prior to tacking insitu the reach around to the strongback.

Re: C900 gearbox girdle
Thanks. I’m pretty happy how it came out. I did not do a deflection vs load test which planning, but cold setting it to true up square, she is frickin tough. Just under double the weight of the cover I build. Approx 2.8 lbs increase. Scale is set to grams. 2568g = 5.65 lbs. C4121770-6130-403F-B63B-A...

Re: C900 gearbox girdle
Final piece fitted, tacked, and welded. The top cap really stiffened up the arm.
Next steps: paint, weigh, deflection vs load testing.

Re: C900 gearbox girdle
Some changes since the last post. I capped off the frame dimples. I wanted to add some rigidity (I value) with the dimples, but I hosed myself as I took away the shear of the panel. 10E11AA6-1383-47A5-A309-BE5F61E74D0C.jpeg Added a diagonal from the inner driver flange to the strongback. 22FFD70F-3F...
