Hey guys, I'm needing to source a sleeve for an 8BA that's at 3 5/16" +.030 or 3.342" as I can't source one locally. What's the best source, I have all the necessary dimensions. Thanks ! BFD

Its may feel that way but not in my house. Not EVER.

Have'nt started a build thread though I was kinda thinking about it :p The carb adaptor is available to convert the M90 blower and mount the carbs. So are sealed rear needle roller bearings ( as opposed to OEM non sealed ) to prevent them from being washed out. Ill be using either V pulleys...

and heres the new lung mockup....should be interesting indeed :D

Time for some TLC. And a fresh lung for new duties. :D

A very sad sad day indeed; condolences to Ruth and the Family. Having been on the Barn since the 90s, I literally soaked up everything Ron had to say about Flatheads. A teacher from across the pond. It's because of him that I was infected with the Flathead bug. God speed Sir, I'll miss...

Good catch ! :D

Did the kick and door panels, seat and carpets in my roadster, nothing super fancy but I think it came out nice for the look I was after.

Good points made but I would also add that generally its best to tune to what the engine is telling you it wants and not to a specific "number" on the gauge. For example, on a street type engine, I will pull fuel at part throttle/cruise till the engine surges slightly then add fuel till it...

I've been busy...... Just buttoned up a fresh, early 283 with a Weiand 4x2 for my 3W and just painted and carpeted my roadster.... This winter I'll be assembling a stroker flathead for the roadster...so it's GO GO GO.

Well after 12 years of tooling around in primer, with the help of a good mate I managed to paint the roadster. In just under 2 months for solid work, she's now done. Now to finish off that big stroker will all the good bits over winter and knock over the top for which Ive already fabbed the...

So sorry to hear this, I will really miss his informative contributions on the Barn. Sincere condolences to his family. Godspeed Jim.

RIP JWL, a tremendous loss indeed. Condolences to both his Family and to you Ron.

Good to see it was sorted by Clive and you're up and running ! I must be lucky with the modded crab with 12V Pertronix I put together 10 yrs ago. Still going strong ! No to hijack, I just buttoned up a buddy's 59A and he wanted an E Fire so will be looking to fire it soon but want to...

So sad to hear, he really will be missed around here and across the pond. Sincere condolences to his family.

Outstanding Ron, kudos to you, Jnr and Laura on this achievement !!

Looks great Dale, good to see you're still at it amigo !
