Hell yeah, whatever it takes at the track w/o jeopardizing safety, there's a
big difference between a field-expediency and a permanent fix...

Sometimes you have to unleash your inner bubba if you want to race the race you
just hauled a few thousand miles for. I?ve diapered Peyote to salvage a
weekend, but that?s as far as I generally go. Has to be back to normal before
the next outing.

That is just so fricken Appalachian. Never in my wildest dreams would ever
degrade my triumph to such Shame.

Hello Friends,
If just for shits and grins...
I was just under my car checking things and I thought I'd share an easy oil
catcher that I came up with a while back.
I installed two longer bolts to attach safety wire between the the lowest bell
housing cover bolts. I drape a disposable shop towel around the wire and
guerrilla tape it to the bell housing.
The underside of my car has been staying much cleaner and it's not leaving oil
drips wherever I park it.
Of course, it is best to not have a leak in the first place, but until I do a
tear down, this has worked nicely.
I also zip tied a shop towel I front of the trans mount to save the mount from
oil contamination.
The trans mount on my car was on it when I bought it in 2008 and before then,
the car had been sitting for at least 35 years. It might be original.
Cheers,
Dave H.
