ORIN'S 50 REBUILD !!!!
grfishmaker:
Hey Orin, looking good.
I know you can get marine grade fir plywood in Winnipeg at Windsor Plywood. They were the only place that I could find that carries it without being a special order. It comes good two sides, so that helps. The only bad thing is the price, $59.99@ sheet. It will take six sheets to do your narrow.
Also, good idea with using the rags to heat up the oak to bend. Your idea never crossed my mind as I used a pice of PVC pipe and an electric kettle (something I see on a "google" search). That's what's nice about this NT site; being able to see other peoples ideas to reach the same end.
Keep up the good work, I hear winters coming. ha ha
the old trucker:
Thank a bunch Orin. That information will be spot on by the looks of it. Don't seem like there's to building them, I just needed something to go by so it will be to scale.
OT.
orin:
Went to the auto wrecker yesterday to get a manifold and came back with seats and an electric fan for the motor door. ;D Does anyone know when you put these fans on the door, do you just take the fan off the motor and turn it around to get it to blow instead of suck?http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/orinleecarlson/IMG_1187.jpg
the old trucker:
It won't be any different if you turn the fan blades around. I think you will have to mount the fan to the door so that it will blow out. I have seen some electrical motors that will work in reverse if you change the wiring, but I don't think it will work on that motor being it's newer.
Would it work if it hauled in fresh air through one door, across the top of the engine & out the other door ?? Hot air rises?? Just a thought. Is your heat riser in the manifold working properly ??
orin:
O.T. Good idea about the frost plugs and the fan blows if you switch the wires. ;D Heat riser for the choke? I have the choke hooked manual, the one on the old manifold was broke off. Anyone know the number for the bearing that's in the bottom of the steering shaft?? Got small brass bushing from princess auto, going to try one down there, but if it does not work good going to have to find a bearing.
