COMET CENTRAL

You stalked that project for a long time, but when you pounced you went for the kill. :lol: Looks good. 8) I know you're itchin' to get it back on the road. It's been a while. Jim Thanks ,I would call it dodging this project. This new painter guy actually painted the cowl ''when'' he said he would ...

I added some new garage art to the Shop today. It is amazing the things you can do with a CNC plasma table. I had this image on my computer for years I finally got to do something with it today. https://i.postimg.cc/s2B0M0G2/DSC02886.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/SR4ZtSTX/DSC02887.jpg https://i.postimg....

That cowl ain’t going nowhere, and should be water tight. Looks good Johno.

Jo,
That looks very good! Still learning about Comets, and that looks like a big project to me!
Guess I need to go back in your thread and get up to speed on your build.

Thanks yea I need to get back up to speed on it too, & get it back on the road.

Finally made some progress ,I glued my cowl top on last night. Man it was kinda hectic, but barely got er done within the 90 min work time of the epoxy. I used 3M 8115 , an old friend now & I still love it, but it had been so long I had to hit up Lou again for some refresher advice. Thanks again Lou...

Welcome on! :D I agree with all who said it looks like a comet LCA & strutrod>>at least what I can see of it. Fred right ,that just like mine ,is called a vario-centric camber kit. it doesnt have the round eccentric washer things like in powerband's pic. kind of same principle but square OD. & there...

Welcome on! :D I'd like to see a pic of the eccentric that's on it. I agree with all who it looks like a comet LCA & strutrod>>at least what I can see of it.

One small thing to check. loosen the nuts on the carb studs .take the throttle return springs off & basically make sure the butterflies are opening easily with no resistance as you snug up & tighten carb studs down. sometimes the carb gets cocked slightly on install . always tighten the carb down fi...

I got this regulator , I've added a return line. I still need to make up a line from reg down to old line down by the frame ; https://www.summitracing.com/parts/hly-12-881?rrec=true & this gauge had a button that sounded important ,suckered me in. :roll: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aei-15632?...

All beauty Jim! Including the shop ,especially all the air in there! I dont have room to fall down in my shop. I was out there today picking up some, my buddy came over,I was telling him my shop was like one of these old puzzles right now. have to move everything 4-5 times just to get started off r...

Tried to dig my way back to it.

I'd probably just epoxy it on. or maybe a very small tap ,drill & tap the stud that was riveted on,not the guild pin. would need a squared off tap to get threads deep enough. but the glue would be easier.

also could be some exhaust minor interference to tweak. aint but one way to find out for sure about any of it .

I almost bought a needle scaler when I took off the factory undercoating behind the fenders . it was really thick in places & looked like it was going to be a pain to get off but I pecked around with a screw driver & it was so brittle I popped it all off with screwdriver in just a little while ,30 m...

I couldn't figure out where the 3/4 was. didnt say 3/4 at top but said 1-1/2 x 3/4 under description. maybe it was a typo ? Am I missing something ?
Glad they fit!!!
