OK guys and gals...we need to nail down the date here. I wouldn't mind it
being sooner, but it looks like April 22 is the date that will work for
everyone.
Hopefully that will give me time to get the Spit6 mostly together and get
the garage cleaned out a bit to make room for everything.
It looks like we've got three trannies for sure, with the owners all
prepared to get grubby.
Jim Holmgren- single rail non-o/d Art Fournier's- single rail o/d and Ron
Skovira's single?/3-rail?
Does everyone have the parts they need?
I obviously have the non-standard tools needed, as well as a few odd ball
spare parts that might come in handy. But it's up to the box owners to
obviously have the parts they need. Standard tools are a good idea as well.
for the most part, 7/16", 1/2", 9/16" wrenches and or sockets are all that
are needed. A few screw drivers perhaps, and maybe some vise grips can be
useful, but not much else is needed. Obviously I only have so many of each
wrench size to use, so everyone can't use mine all at the same time. Also
consider adding a bit of electrical tape or other colored tape to your
tools, so they don't get mixed up with everyone else's.
The idea here is to use 'the facilities' I have here, to make the tasks at
various levels of dis-assembly/assembly, much easier. Each owner will be
doing much of the work, with everyone else in attendance, lending greasy
hands and moral support. :-)
Jim Holmgren's buddy (name?) will be videographing the event. Hopefully
enough material will be gathered to show all the tips and tricks and 'easy'
ways to do the tasks required to rebuild a box successfully.
Gail will have munchies and lunch, and lots of coffee. Consider bringing a
second layer of clothing in case the weather turns cool. Also consider that
second outer layer of clothes as a set that can get dirty(greasy) without
your significant other getting too mad at you. I've got plenty of latex
gloves (and nitril gloves for your sensitive types) to try and keep the
grease out of Gail's kitchen (and bathrooms and etc).
Don't feel like you need to be a nass member or something. This is wide open
to simply anyone that would like to understand how to build rebuild a
Spitfire/GT6 tranny.
Come one, come all. I just need a final head count. Please respond to
