<VV> Memorial Day ~ need clutch fork for 1967 Monza PG -> 4 Speed Conversion

[Charlie]

I'm 

Primarily, I need a clutch fork for the Saginaw 4-speed I am mating up to my
140 to get the whole shebang mounted, if at all possible.

I had a lead on a clutch fork, but it fell through, and if I'm not mistaken,
it needs to be installed before I mate up the trans with the block (unless I
figure out a way to squeeze it through the hole ;>}~? (just kidding, right?)

Anyone in the Riverside / Hemet area have on I could pick up while I'm
"Memorializing" my Vair this weekend?

Enjoy your Corvair this weekend ~ I'll be working on mine (which is my idea
of fun when I have the time!)

Charlie

Well, a front steer would likely be easier.  But if I have to modify the
tank even a little bit, it would make sense to modify it a lot, or even move
it.
I think there's be room under the rear "seat", like a modern fwd car. 
Shorter fuel and return lines, easier plumbing for fuel system venting, etc.
And room for a rear-steer r&p.

I think the consensus was that my steering arms (stock '61 Pontiac
Tempest) are even worse than stock Corvair steering arms for Ackerman.
But they (the Tempest arms) would prob give perfect Ackerman if spindles and
arms are swapped right-to-left, so they point to the rear.

The never-ending project.
- not even mentioning the desire to stiffen up this flexible flyer. 
Several ideas in the pipeline there.

cheers
Jay
