Hi there boys and girls, I have a solid rust free car and its gleamingly clean in the interior now, mostly, but it suddenly occured to me that the rear seats are still the old early pigskin leather and so to match the front seats I looked in my vast array of spares and found some lovely clotch seat ...

Same... I have CAD files for a weld-in solution from a friends rally car since JVAB is looking to have something like ~30 people to be ready with cash for another run. Obviously don't take the plans and sell it as a kit (or at least talk to the guy who created it first), but I can send you the file...

Hej another Calgary Xratty...There's a real nice one in town but he hasn't entered any events yet (I hear he got a promotion at his work so he on the road being brilliant constantly.) Matt Watson is his name....With about 300 phone calls and one visit down here in The Unexplored Southern Area he did...

Man you guys like to work...

Spec didn't change the spring--the diaphragm..sop rellay no increased clamping force..400 ft/lbs Hmmmm I'd use Kennedy Engineering Stage 4 228mm pressure plate and a 4 or 6 puck sinter puck thing.. It'd call for a different bolt circle and some sort of stand-offs to get the height right..6 bolys on ...

Yeah I have 3 YB engines fully rebuilt, ready to drop in.
How many do you want?

Long term a couple plates of steel and a length of tube and you can do what I did and assemble the entire engine including the flywheel an clutch pressure plate in the stand..



Zap zap. easy...

Linz Hi, I'm the JVAB guy that guys mentioned earlier..Rarely pop in here...too much poncy bling type stuff these days. I have been doing HU...

I saw on Rockotter the Xratty cable is 62.75"

What year Mustang cable?

Thanks guys, I'm still looking, BAT is out and cannot get more, I emailed TeamBlitz but haven't gotten a reply. Rapido Group sounds confident they can get me what I need, just trying to find out which model T9 I have. Burton Power definitely has options, but they seem really expensive, hoping I don...

You might want to charge up the phone, get a pad and pencil and call the guy that has supplied all the active Xratty rally cars for the last 20 years..Or--for fawks sake go up to NC and buy Matt Smiths car aka Mothra http://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,110540 1985 Merkur XR4TI Rally car - ...

No, ordered from bilstein with compression/ rebound rates changed based on the cars weight, spring rates, etc. the JVAB ones are a great alternative but a bit softer than this car's purpose (not valved for springs this heavy / track use only / etc) Just a note: The JVABs are valved and made to leng...
