I only have three more NCAA men games to watch to see who the new Champ is. This will be the 62nd finals I have watched going all the way back to Chicago Loyola OT win in 1963.
Zero drag is the is the key. Someone once said that Al Provoast could push his Oldsmobile wagon the entire length of ths staging lanes by himself. Ceramic wheel bearings?

Well after trying to get the other wheel to spin freely, I gave up and went a different direction. Working on sensor mounts. Not to exciting stuff.

Making tapered spaces for shock sensor mounting that will allow the spherical ball mount more degrees of movement before it binds and breaks off. Largest screw that fits the ball ID is a number 10-32 NF about .187 ?
Only a few more to make and a few spares. Upper front shock mounts are finished. Spring time Honey Do list is caught up but never finished.

Al used posi units instead of spools in his big heavy Oldsmobiles.

Interesting. Was it a 12 bolt? I'm all about these speed secrets.
Thanks Lyn.
