Chassis / EC front axle question
« on: October 16, 2012, 10:30:02 am »
I see on the ec front axles there is a back plate welded to axle then an end plate on top of that. Is the end plate necesarry or could you just bolt your heim joints direct to back plate on axle? What is the purpose of the end plate?

Briggs Flathead / 28 cu in crank nut VS bolt
« on: October 13, 2012, 05:01:35 pm »
I have searched and read everything I could find, Everyone says run the crank with the nut rather then the bolt. Now only reason I have found that everyone has come to this conclusion is because of the removable eccentrics. Is there any other reason why I would want to use the nut crank over the bolt crank? At the local track we race we are not able to modify any internals and must run the eccentrics in the block. Would it be beneficial to have the non removable eccentrics considering we have to leave them in anyway? I am asking because I have two blocks which are going to be freshened for next season but one is bolt other is nut and I want to use the correct one for my main engine and keep other just for spare.

Briggs Flathead / Lighter flywheel other then billet
« on: October 10, 2012, 05:34:42 pm »
Now I know right off the bat it is dangerous to modify a stock flywheel in anyway at all. So my question is, Is there a flywheel out there from another engine that will fit the 28cu in flathead that is smaller in diameter thus weighing less. In the karting world we used to run 3hp flywheel because of smaller diameter and less weight, only thing we had to do was run a coil bracket that would move the coil closer to the smaller wheel. We are not aloud to run the billet wheels where I run.

Driveline / MCP brake setup questions
« on: September 20, 2012, 10:23:23 pm »
I have a MCP master & caliper setup on my tractor, I am actuating the master via a brake lever & cable setup on handlebars but I do not think there is enough travel. Any ideas on how to set this up? Should I use a wilwood handlebar master to actuate the MCP caliper instead? Would the wilwood supply enough pressure to actuate both cylinders in the MCP caliper? Can anyone point me in the right direction to buy one of these wilwood master's also. I am in Canada so a Canadian contact would be better.
