Rodder's Roundtable / SPEEDOMETER COUPLER
February 10, 2005, 11:15:51 PM
Years ago, I saw a coupler some where that allowed you to couple 2 speedometer cables together.

Anybody have an idea where I could find one?

Thanks,

Rodder's Roundtable / LOW BACK BUCKET SEATS FOR SALE
February 01, 2005, 03:24:01 PM
(I hope it's OK to post this here).

These new bucket seats were originally built for a GM  van in the early 1970's, they and don't appear to have ever been installed. The only flaw I found was a small pinhole on the bottom side cover on one seat, and unless you knew it was there, you'd never see it.They are clean, and don't have the old odor or moldy smell found in seats from a junkyard or seats that have been improperly stored.

They are made of perforated vinyl which is tan in color, are adjustable with new sliders which were custom fitted to the seats ~The backs are fixed and don't tilt forward.

They measure: 19 1/2" wide,  25" tall, and the bottom of the seat cushions from front to back measures  23".

These seats are absolutely new, and would work well in a pickup, A-100, roadster or many other street rods.

I decided to change the interior color on my Econoline Pickup to black, and couldn't bear to have these nice seats recovered.

$120.00 plus $50.00 shipping -- lower 48 states.

Thanks,

Jim

First of all, thanks for the "how to" on the English Wheel -- it appears easy enough that even I can build it!

I have one question, though -- it was stated "the bottom bearing should have a flat about .075 wide sanded in the center, and blended into the radius. Not totally necessary, but it makes the wheel more effective".

How do I sand the bottom bearing  and blend the radius where it's the same on both sides?

This is my first post -- glad I found this site!

Thanks!

Jim
