It would depend on how bad the unevenness is. If it is not too bad, you might be able to file or grind it flat. The pull will be less if the shoe is on a rear axle. I wouldn't muck around with them too much, though. Brakes are rather useful, and shoes are cheap. > Is there a drawback on overadjusting a shoe (except wearing of the shoe), by overadjusting I mean putting the shoe so close to the drum that the wheel does not turn freely anymore. > Is there a drawback on overadjusting a shoe (except wearing of the Reduced fuel economy, loss of performance, risk of fire, severe bodily injury or death. Other than that, no. If you have to work to spin the wheel, so does the Rover. Thus the loss of power, and fuel mileage (read kilometers, if you are one of them). Also, the shoe dragging on the drum produces a lot of heat, which can lead to bearing failure or even a fire, boiling brake fluid. If you are doing this to save having to adjust the brakes as often, don't. Adjusting the brakes is a 10 minute job, even in 10 F darkness. If you need to adjust them to much there is probably something else wrong-- oversized drums, undersized shoes,worn adjusters, brake steady posts that don't.

The front looked almost like an old J**p wagoneer but a bit wider. I was doing my usual 85 and by the time I pulled to the right this thing blew by me like I was standing still...I knew this was nothing I had ever seen before so I caught up ( I had the Saab Turbo so it was not a problem) to get a closer look. This is the Lamborghini LM American . Not as wide as a Hummer but Much taller. It was a 4 door with the rear portion beyond the pass. compartment open with what looked like additional bench style seating and a grab rail around the outside. This thing sounded like a jet!! It had Florida Plates so I guess he was heading for warmer climes anyone else seen one of these? On my way back North this morning I also spotted a more modest AA Yellow D-90 with a snorkel heading south, but he was travelling a bit slower than the lamborghini.

After switching to silicone fluid three years ago, all the dust caps/wheel cylinders look great with no leaks or seeps. When I used to run with the old, hygroscopic Castrol/Girling LMA, I used to siphon out the fluid every year or two. Silicone is not hygroscopic, but does anyone know of it's service life? As far as I'm concerned, silicone's only drawback is its price, $7-8 a pint. (I know, I should buy it by the gallon.) Cheers *---"Jeep may be famous, LAND-ROVER is Legendary"----* | A. P.

When I was a pilot, the worst-case scenario was usually summertime. When an increase in altitude would bring the air temperature down to 35-40 degrees, carb icing was a real threat. As the humid air was mixed with the fuel, the vaporizing petrol would lower the temp to below freezing and carb icing would result, blocking off the carb throat with alarming speed. Of course, planes have "carb heat" to cure the problem. Are you running with the original oil bath? Headers, perhaps? I've never had a problem with the Zenith in over 25 years. Perhaps the design of the Solex is more prone to icing. Cheers *---"Jeep may be famous, LAND-ROVER is Legendary"----* | A. P.

Date: Tue, 18 Nov 1997 17:58:46 -0800 (PST) From: davery@on-ramp.ior.com (Dale W. Avery) Subject: Frosting Weber carbs The problem du juer seems to be freezing carbs. I found that my problem was caused by air leaks between my single barrel Weber carb, the spacer it sits on, and the intake manifold. The fix was quick and cheap; just replace the two seals between these three parts. That should help considerably. Jeff Aaronson pointed me in the right direction on this last February after I replaced my old, tired engine with a new Turner. I purchased a new intake manifold at the same time and did a poor job of installing the carb on it (rushing to get done while working in the snow and wind at night, brrrrrrrrr!). Hope this helps. ----- Dale W. Avery KC7MM Tigger - '73 88" canvas top ------------------------------[ <- Message 37 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 971119 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Once on a nice bright spring day when I was flying bush in the arctic (about the time Series vehicles were space age technology) I pushed in the carb heat too soon on climb out and about as quick as it takes to type this I got a sudden and drastic power drop. If I hadn't immediately put on the heat my near gross weight, back of the power curve, climb-out would have turned into a rather nasty day. It can be as sudden as that in flying or it can be a gradual and insidious thing that builds up unnoticed during a descent until you suddenly need to, absolutely must, push on the power. I've often seen frost on the outside of my Solex but no carb icing. I'm switching to a Weber soon so I'm interested in any anecdotal advice. Water freezing in the gas line got to be a bit of problem last winter until I started adding a good dollop of methyl alcohol to the tank on every fill.

My understanding is that the standard auto industry practice for spot welding aluminum is very similar to spot welding steel. The major difference is that Al requires around 3 times more current due to its higher conductivity. Spot welding is fundamentally different from arc welding (including MIG) or gas welding. A spot welder has two copper alloy electrode tips which squeeze the metal panels together. Current then flows through the panels from one tip to the other, and is concentrated in the area of contact between the tips. This locally heats the metal so that it welds together. The direct contact and pressure may be the reason shielding, etc. is not required for Al. The increased current requirements are the reason small hand-held spot welders are only rated for welding steel. I'd like to try spot welding Al with someone else's though.
