Re: Cooling a V8 lux

I used a vn v8 radiator and a au falcon twin thermo on the back, which only required a little bit of modification (top and bottom hoses on opposite sides was the main issue IIRC) to fit quite nicely. The radiator is wider, so had to do some fabrication to widen the mounting area and move the ...

What are you using to pressurise them? Air or nitrogen? How are you pumping them up? I have one that is weeping oil.

Re: 12mm copper - Help please

These people have it listed half way down in the second list. http://www.polyaire.com.au/copperprices.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Just rechecked and it is a little confusing as it is shown as 12mm and half inch, but further up as 12.7 mm. Anyway they could be worth a try.

Re: Accuracy of torque wrenches?

If you are going to check the calibration of your torque wrench, don't just check it in the lower range because it may not be all that consistent across the range. When I was doing calibration of flight line tension wrenches they were tested every month and at every 10 ft lbs right across the range ...

Sorry to go a little off topic here, why don't race cars have brake boosters? Is it mainly because of cam timing that reduces manifold vacuum available, which would cause a problem especially when pumping the brakes repeatedly like they often seem to have to do? Just wondering.
