62 Cutlass Convert

Thanks Joe. Good news!

(bump to check Notify me)

If you use cork use the impregnated cork material. Did one like that, Sealed to sending unit with Permatex aircraft sealer with nothing to the tank.so I can pull it on and off tank when needed. Works well.
You could use HighTack to the tank, it would be removable.

Pure cork will leak.

Don’t use silicone gasket maker, it’s not appropriate for…[Read more]

Sending you a PM Eric.
I have heard the facebook site is active. Damnit, I hate facebook but the increased activity would be nice.

My neighbor sent me the link. Nice job Eric.

Update-started leaking today.
Taking it out and down to the rad shop for a pressure test and solder patches.

Used some “Permatex Fuel Tank Repair 84334”. Its an epoxy stick. Cut some off, mix, press into place. Let it cure. Looks a bit like chewing gum under a table.

Working well at this point.

The leak was a very small hole on an old crease from bottoming out at some point in the distant past.
The interior of the tank is rust free. There is an old pat…[Read more]

I heard but have not confirmed that Corvair are the same foam and upholstery cut pattern. Not style of course.
Seats probably don’t mount the same though.

Yes or no info on new tank availability appreciated.

Yep, can be.
Zero offset on what size wheels Joe?
Does zero offset mean a 3” backspace on a 6” wheel?
Im using 15×6 with 3.5/8” backspace and a little bigger tire at 205 65 15.

Spindle is not changed. The hub fits with same mounting flange location as original 4 lug hub. My understanding from talking with BCPP is that it is located the same as the original hub. There are also a user or two of his 5 lug conversion the the 6163skylark site. Everyone seems very satisfied. Ben is also available to talk with and is happy to…[Read more]

BCCP doesn’t. He uses a different hub.

I dont know this for sure but i believe i remember the Tempest hub in front is a five lug? There is another one or two as well I believe. Couldn’t confirm which ones. Then you go for new axles in the rear I believe. BCCP can supply or Moser will make them. Not cheap.

Also, there are two hub styles, one tha…[Read more]

Anyone with some parts cars oit there?

Oops, meant to say stock spindle and hubs.
Yep, I would imagine the thickness of the rotor hat would influence the wheel placement further to spindle and hub.
