Yeah not to much though The fairlane they were happy with a crush tube welded into the pillar with the head of the bolt protruding externally. And the cloud 3 rolls royce I had to add a brace internally and use an approved seat belt thread plate thing .. initially lvvta wanted us to add extra structure into the roof rail and tie the 2 pillars together through the roof with extra support etc which was nuts. But the certifier we use pretty much told them to pull their heads in and we came to a more sensible solution

We just delt with the certifier and came up with a solution that was sensible. I also did a cloud 3 rolls same kinda deal just came up with a sensible mount and lvvta were ok with what our certifier was ok with

We did a 58 Fairlane at work recently. It's doable

Should be ok with lap belts. May need to reweb them If you want 3 points they'll need lvvta cert

If a load bearing bracket finished half way down the side of the chassis rail there is potential for the side to collapse inwards The top ans bottom is the strongest place to anchor to. Not sure what lvvta says but you'd want to stitch weld that so if a Crack did form it will stop at the end of the stich vs traveling the whole length of the bracket if fuly welded

Does kelford deal with any piston suppliers? For the race cars at work we use cp pistons from the states and anything can be custom made. Our contact for that is Dave at chs if you want tk go down the custom pistons route

@michael14 have you tried paul at American auto parts? They're in the same building as cylinder head specialists now but upstairs

I sat my restricted in a 1987 toyota crown wagon with gaurd mirrors and the Instructor got mad because he "couldn't see my head moving to look in my mirrors"

@cletus I heard that refitting cheviot turbos increases ride quality

Very cool. A workmate of mine has a 60 fury coupe with a 2bbl 318 poly and a push button auto.

@ajg193 do k series carbs have the fuel kill solenoid? maybe that hasnt been plugged in @Nico89

/I've never bought one so I don't actually know *results may vary

Aren't t5s like a $2.5k gearbox?

An r154 is a pretty big gearbox You won't break a w58 with a aj6 in a road car You'd be pretty safe putting 350hp through one before it has issues

Buy genuine toyota ball joints and theyll last fine.
