Corvair Forum

I have a small dental pick that I picked up along the way. It works very similar to what Tom is talking about. A little side to side motion an some back and forth usually does the trick. Keep up the good work. I am enjoying the updates

The brake shoes look like old school metallics to me. I am sure someone else will chime in with a definitive answer shortly.

Nice work on the exhaust system Tom. Looks like they are safety wired .Reminds me of my days in USAF as a jet engine mechanic. Most every bolt had to be safety wired.

Sounds like a great deal . Like I said on the other phorum, " Are you able to get any pics of the car"?

I thought that I had seen something similar in Richard Finche's "How to Keep Your Corvair Alive ". It was in one of the later editions with the picture of his wife on it. I tried to find it in my Corvair book collection, but I couldn't put my hands on it. Great work as usual Tom. : :tu: :tu:

Starting in Jacksonville, all the way to SanDiego ,and then all the way up to Seattle and back again to Florida. A...

I think that I came that way when I visited you .I was in my Corsa and it was a fun drive. There was construction on the road most of the way. I couldn't imagine doing that daily. Props to you Dave.

Sorry to hear about the nick in the pulley Scott. However, I can say that that is some nice new hardware.

That is awesome Scott. It definitely is better without the ads popping up every time you click on a post.
