Thanks for that! I'm already drilled and tapped for 4-40, and a new outer hub is at least $30. Going to get those rings to work by widening the notch for 4-40.

Running change, it looks like they started with a setscrew size hole and moved to a 1/16 pin instead- likely due to it being harder to balance the heavy steel screw. Buds became BRP so you probably can't pin down that the buds package would be a setscrew, but it's more likely than the much later br...

Got the MCI decal sheet yesterday. If this sheet was half the price, twice the delivery speed, and pre-cut, it would be more acceptable for me. Paid about $40 with the premium colors, to change the hood stinger to white. Honestly, you can see the ink jet pixelation dots in the chrome decals on the s...

These are the directions that came with the BRP #2110 kit, it mentions a 1-16" drill bit. What's that in relation to a 4-40?? I'm a VW air-cooled metric guy, the SAE/imperial fractions do nothing for me. https://i.imgur.com/De0p1OS.jpg There is another BRP product with the number #2111, it is a...

Found a vintage NOS set of asc6192 knockoffs, not in chrome, but from the original smooth mold; $20 shipped was the right price for making the attempt to chrome them with pens or spray. Seller's pics - in the mail. https://i.imgur.com/4UAmooS.jpg Picked this brick up on ebay for $31, (14) cells of S...

This may not be the answer but an answer. There are several tip types for set screws. McMaster-Carr shows one of a couple that could possibly work. The .075 being the tip diameter. Probably several other methods to solve the fitment issue. I can't remember if I ever ran across this years ago, not s...

Got the idler pivot glued in place, this was spinning freely in there. When I glued it in, I had to refile the gear mesh in some spots, as the idlers are solid now, not like old wooden wagon wheels bouncing down a gravel road, like it was when when I got this. https://i.imgur.com/bDuf2V6.jpg Mark se...

All of the steering parts are cracked in some place. One set is original, the other looks like an early repro, the texture is rough. I've always wondered if the non-threaded portion of the ball ends ( just under the hex ) tends to add additional stress to the holes that tend to crack. At least I do...

How did AE do their chrome? Vacuum metallization... the part is put in a vacuum chamber with an aluminum wire, drawn down, then current is applied across the wire which vaporizes the aluminum and the vacuum causes it to attach to the part. Over the last few years all the vacuum metallization places...

Hmmm, yes he says that but then proceeds to build it with a 32dp spur. He's giving away his guide for a buck so it can't be because he didn't have money. :D I believe your car came with 32dp but you are doing mods so I reckon you could go either way. FWIW (not much, actually) but I think a 6 gear &...

ONE DOLLAR :?: :!: :?: :!: What the.... one dollar.JPG Do they think we're made of money??? Well, I'm not paying it :!: :evil: :D z-q29hbEP04 I bought a 48dp 81T spur to go with this, but seem to have lost it, it's just gone now - but would they have used 48dp in 1985? Thanks! I believe early 6-gea...

Thanks!

Turns out it's the 40th nylon mold that has the rough texture to it. Left is an original knock off from Edinger, middle is a 40th with no liquid chrome, on the right is a 40th with liquid chrome. https://i.imgur.com/3oJqSwL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/31nyEgq.jpg Lucky to have an original set of knockof...

I think I have a mid to late Edinger here.
