That's from all the salt that (and I quote) has "eroded away" and Wells is sliding downhill toward Wendover.  cromag

I thought John meant his wife would only him spend 10 minutes in Wells

[Stan Back]

I guess she would know his limits.

Stainless - in another thread you referred to your duck billed release lever (harness) - who is the manufacturer please - I will need to get mine made again now I know that rotary does not work with non-double jointed elbows and the hip buckle is inexactly the right place for a masochist.

I think it is a DJ... but could be Deist... It replaced our old lever when they decided that levers could be snagged by an arm restraint and release unless they were covered or velcro'd.  This was the answer because velcro is hard to manipulate with gloves on.  You stick your finger in the hole and pop it open.

Thanks for those.

I guess the little duck head also reminds you to miss the roll over bar on exit too - duck or grouse.

I used a duck bill on my lay down car and it was perfect. You don?t have to see anything to engage it. Easy to feel when you need to unbuckle the lap belt.

Back to Wells 

I meant sight seeing in Wells would only take 10 mins and the house of horizontal refreshment had not occurred to me.

The local cathouse has a restaurant and coffee shop in a separate building near the freeway.  They make a good breakfast.  Bella's is the name.

When I first ordered my rear tires the Goodyear specification said a 15" diameter rim x 4" width (plus or minus 1"). All I could find in the UK was 15x5 but my tire man has said he would prefer to see them mounted on something narrower.

I found some in the US sold as classic GM rims at 15x4 but they are supplied with dual bolt pattern - I need 4.75" pcd but these also have 4.5" pcd. I guess these might need circumferential welding but they are the best I've found.

Does anyone run dual stud pattern wheels - are they okay with tech? Is here a better source bearing in mind I need a comapny that will ship overseas?

John.. SCHOTT supplied my wheels. Speak to John Beck at Vintage Hot Rods in Chico...he might be able to point you in the right direction.

[Lemming Motors]

Thanks Geoff, will do.


A bit of progress attached.
