Hey Brett.

Good eyes. After blasting the drums I noticed that. Upon further inspection with a small chisel it turned out to be extra material from the original casting. The drums are in good shape :)

I'll try to report on all the things I have done recently, starting with projects that I have finished or am almost there. Fuel tank is done and reinstalled in the ca...

Brett, I have done soooo many projects with my welder, so valuable! The pipe is all painted and reinstalled. There is only one hanger left to build at the junction of the header and cherry bomb. I thought I could get away without it but it does move a good amount when I tested it out tonight. Speaki...

Another update for today as I got a bunch of time in the garage today. I fabricated the side exhaust that I mentioned in the last post... Like I mentioned previously, somebody put a cherry bomb muffler at one point. It was set up fart can style, all tweaked under the car. It stuck out the bottom a b...

12/10 Update. Brakes, dash, and exhaust. Hope everybody is doing well! Got a chance to work on the car a bit, thanks to being on call for work and not getting called out :) I have been splitting my time between the car and my wine/beer/lounge room build right now (and regular family stuff too). All ...

*** I posted this on my usual car forum (Saab92x.com) so there is stuff in there to explain to them the car, stuff you guys obviously know ;) *** A little update for you guys. After taking the fuel tank off, I wire brushed it. Overall it is in pretty good condition with some light surface rust here ...

Girling SP2033 or SP2033/1 These kits are available on-line and are shared by some other British cars. Thanks for the info Pete. I was actually looking for the actual cylinder. ...
