Good Cautionary Tail On Buy Parts
Hi Tony
Your Good Cautionary Tail on the connecting rods is a very good one for any of us collecting or ordering parts for a project. Double check the dimensions of the parts and then check them again once you have the parts in hand. That's going in our club news letter as a Tech Tip.
I'm sure there are many of us who have parts sitting on the shelf that we bought and then when it was to late to return discovered that they were not correct. I've got set of gas tank, brackets, box of NOS valves that I don't know what they fit and few other odd bits sitting on the shelf.
As to ending up with rods that are rated for 700HP, those would go good with the 1000HP axle shafts I had made for my HUP. Only place I could find who could make the axle shafts was and race parts outfit.
Cheers Phil
