Sambo is on the ball. They are a nifty stainless tie we supply with the PACE 427 kit for CV boots. Don't require any special tools and work a treat.

Wouldn't be the old blue / white stripe monster from the coast that Tony O originally owned, would it?

That cammer... "All the best" parts seems to be an understatement. Craig W knows that I like my hipo Ford motors, and he was careful to ensure that none of my drool made its way into those CNC billet rocker covers !

Tony, I'm pretty sure you would have seen a different polished aluminium car.

An understandable mistake ... there are so many moving through the place as the AP production line swings into top gear ...

But there's just that one cammer! What a sight ... can't wait for the sound.

Yes my Harrison is Tony Os old one when I got it it had suffered from complete neglect from the guy who had bought it from tony. I spent a lot of time detailing the engine bay and it now sports full stainless braid and a host of other new bits and pieces.

Sounds good David - I'm sure everyone is keen to see some photos when you start a new For Sale thread on here.
Last question here so that I don't hijack Brad's thread anymore; is your cammer the one that Darren Friedman had in his Kirkham flip-top Cobra before he sent it to Keith Craft to freshen up and sell?

Hey Damage

The Cammer at Absolute Pace is generating a lot of interest so would you mind if I posted some photos of the beautiful beast of an engine when i go next week.

I was in awe of the injection trumpets they are a work of art.

If you don't want photos then please let me know via a post.

Cheers

Brad

Thanks Brad...

How is it going?

Is that insulation just cut to shape and glued on, or self-adhesive?

How did you go with bending the brake lines?

It must be good doing all this work at AP HQ...

Tony

Tony, Brad is certainly enjoying the use of one of our hoists. He is doing a great job.

Insulation is cut to shape and glued with hi-temp silicone, then silicone strip is run around the sides of material to protect edges from lifting/fraying.

Hmm, bending brake lines??? I reckon Brad is way too smart for that. He just used our brake kit. It contains CNC pre-bent and terminated stainless hard brake lines with stainless saddles. Braided flexible brake hoses mounted to chassis with stainless mounts & stainless spring clips. Did I say "stainless" way too many times there...

Darryl, I had better take some spy shots for you as Brad won't be back until Friday.
