Very interesting reading; I contacted Jet-Hot a while back & was quoted $200 for my header w/turbo turnout, and if I wanted, they'd jet-coat my turbo for another $75. Your pipes being re-done April 2010 puts about a 5 year design life on the coating? Curious, where & what type failures are y...

Anyone know what the coating is on Meyer's exhaust header/muffler? I had not seen one in person until MOTB, and while I have a custom exhaust w/my turbo, I like the look of sidewinder coating better than my ceramic coat. Guess the natural follow-on question, anyone know what company does the coating...

FINALLY!!! I got it on. Shear will/determination....hope I don't need to do that again soon. Thanks for advice.

update...I got the TO bearing clips on...whew! The big spring is another story, keeps slipping & flying out of my hand. Need a tip from someone who knows it well. I'm trying to start with straight part of spring in its final position, then forcing spring coil w/arm off, then slip onto shaft...ob...

Continuing from a different thread, I got the '63 transaxle out & '67 installed; but I can't get the throwout bearing clips installed & having trouble getting big spring on cross-bar (just outside bellhousing). Clips are new (heavy duty), cross-bar is new (has "holes" vs. "not...

Hey thanks guys! I ended up using a 3/8" stainless rod (~18" long), ground the tip to slight hook & drove it into the seal near input shaft. Presto, instant seal removal. The picture below tells "the rest of the story", pulled engine & '63 transaxle Friday; put '67 transa...

I'm sure this question's been asked/answered many times. Any tricks of the trade to removing a stuck transaxle input shaft seal? I picked up a seal removal tool (Advance) with nice hooks to grab inside near shaft, but can't seem to get it loose. This '67 transaxle was in the junk yard since early '7...

Hey Bud, I've got one, in good shape. You can have it. I'll send you a PM. Bill

Nice one Bud....my tank was similar in shape when I cut into it....used acid to etch & then Kreme (motorcycle shop stuff) to coat....Bill

Hey Bud, looks like you stepped in something...ha, ha! Mike's right, Clemson theme continues to grow on my buggy....a few pics to get you through the Christmas Season...imagine the surfboard in Orange...Bill http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e131/63Fiberbuggy/PC220051.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/...

Here in SC, near record highs in upper 70's; making it difficult to move forward with my plans - - - hope cooler weather comes soon so I don't feel like I'm missing out... Christmas break plan is to replace my '63 transaxle w/a '67 I've been working to rebuild over the past few months. Then, if time...

I agree, too far gone to mess with, plus it's not the Manx I'm hoping to fined.....

I thought I was on a "hot lead" to finding a Manx, but no.....so the search will continue. Just curious, anyone recoginize this type? I browsed dunebuggyarchives.com but didn't see a match.

[FONT=Verdana]Been flying the surfboard this summer, but didn't take time till now to update/post pictures...I made the front mount based on Vince's idea, w/a twist...used a stainless drawer pull from Lowes...treaded outside to fit in mirror mounts & used stainless U-bolts/nuts/etc. to hold boa...
