I have seen people use duct tape as a liner. The problem with this is the seam, where you cut the tape. will chafe the tube.

The spring is intended to be hooked on the stock motor mount. If you have Float-A-Motor mounts you will have to figure something out as they don't accommodate it.

Parking my roadster on the Levee here in SE Louisiana recently, I managed to get it stuck in the mud. I couldn't find any fat girls to bounce in my rumble seat but I was able to spray mud all over a group of good Samaritans who were kind enough to give me a push.

I left my key on once with the points closed and the coil got so hot I couldn't touch it. I let it cool down for a couple of hours and the car started right up. I drove for about 5 blocks and it quit. I had to walk home and retrieve another coil. I installed it on the side of the road and no...

I can remember when "gay" meant happy or festive.
