Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Nobody near you that you could borrow one from? Maybe a welding supply house?

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I did find some fittings that if I can make a gasket to join the two adapters I might have a chance. Yesterday was Doctor Day for Patsy and chauffeur day for me. Got the last medicine around 7:30 pm.
This getting old is not for the meek! |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Made two different face seal gaskets from Teflon gasket material. No leaks at 185 PSI shocks are charged now we can go with scale settings and ride height adjustments. We might make it yet.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
We got our SD300 to make squiggly lines that showed speed and direction. Baby steps for us old folks on a computer.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Hi!
This is Patsy. I keep listening for the sound of Dumbo bellowing thru his whatever he bellows thru! I am going out to the shop and check his progress! It sure would be nice to see everyone next week at Indy! I have missed all of you. Patsy |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
We got all the wires all tidied up and the ECU remounted. The rest of the long day was spent on the scales. I got it close but could not get close enough. My friend Gary pointed me in a slightly different direction that we will use today after I improve the scale platforms, I have to make them taller so as to get under the car to make adjustments. And my chassis certification expired yesterday. You got to love the game!
