    Island Girl . . .

    Life has been seriously getting in the way of recreational endeavors this last year or so. I have to sleuth out some fuel delivery issues on the corvette and get that running again before I can get back to the hot rod.

    If we can only get 8 or 10 folks to put up the buy money, I for one, would be willing to kick in $200 (10 buyers) or a max of $250 if only 8 step up.

    I mentioned it in my email, but thought I'd throw it out here; . . . How about a "Partnering Member" group , sort of like the "contributing member" label for those that put in a $100 or more towards the buy?

    Yea, but you also also got a state Attorney General running for a Senate seat that's set public health back into the 17th century . . . .

    Covid test ?

    Big Time! . . . . Just now starting to see the numbers go down after the Christmas / New Years related surge With the way Omicron burns thru a population, there isn't any business or school system that isn't crippled with staffing issues and government agencies trying to figure out practical...

    Residual valve needed or not?

    How true that is! I spent a week one day trying to come up with something for Pukejoe, er Peugeot

    Residual valve needed or not?

    If the fluid drains back to the MC because of gravity, creating negative pressure in the bore, the piston has to retract as atmospheric pressure wants to push it in, admittedly an extremely slow process, and impacted by piston to bore friction, but that's the mechanism

    That's really good news!

    Residual valve needed or not?

    In everyday use, they'd never fully retract, fluid drain-back is a slow process based mostly on the friction between the piston and the bore, but if the vehicle is parked up for an extended period as the fluid drained back into the MC, the piston would retract either until the MC was full, or it...

    Residual valve needed or not?

    Sort of, but not over a long period of time as the pads wear. With new pads which have nominally .300" thick friction material, while new there's maybe .050" movement of the piston from fully retracted to apply, . . . . . while at 2/3 worn down, the piston would have to travel .450" from a...

    Residual valve needed or not?

    I think there's been a tendency to over simplify here, at least a bit . . . . What's not being factored in is the wear on the break pads, (this is really a disk brake specific issue) increasing piston travel and therefore the volume of the piston bore , which means more fluid has to be...

    Gas prices

    When large numbers of people, in pursuit of making up their own minds, give more credence to certified conspiracy retards on Facebook than to the consensus of well respected career research professionals, that doesn't bode well for society's future flourishing. If someone suggested that...
