That huge Railroad Gun style of Potato Cannon resting on the blue trash container in your blog wouldn’t be good for stealth use but the accuracy should be pretty good.

I like that satisfying “whoooonk” sound they make when fired.

Do you need a carry permit for it? 😉

As I understand, the magazine is only on line now. I believe they ceased printing and mailing it right after I subscribed.

That is an interesting front bumper treatment.

Go to the “Download Manuals” tab to the left. Click “Agree” tab and look for:

VW Based MIGI

Open part 3 of the assembly manual and go to page 115 (or the 15th page of the download) it will show how the Clutch Cable attaches. You do need to remove the pedal cluster assembly to gain access to the cable.

The metal cover is probably over the original…

I have not paid anything yet either. I agree with Greg. Or, we can just donate now and be ahead of the game. 🙂
Steve Struchen replied to the topic cowl brackets for TDr? in the forum General Discussion 10 years, 1 month ago

That looks familiar. Here is my version.
Steve Struchen replied to the topic Horn Button in the forum VW Based Kits 10 years, 1 month ago

Why not use an “Either/Or” switch? It is also known as a “single pole double throw” switch. You could either mount it in the center dash or hide it somewhere easily reached while driving.

That switch has three posts. It is constructed so that you can direct the center terminal to either of the two outer posts. You would hook the neutral wire from…

Try the following:

Go to the turquoise colored “Download Manuals” tab on the left side of this page and click on it. Agree to the terms and open the Fiber Fab assembly manual.

Belt too loose?
Steve Struchen replied to the topic What is it and where do I get parts? in the forum VW Based Kits 10 years, 3 months ago

“I have seen these advertised around for 9-13 thousand so know that this is a bargain.” Really?
Steve Struchen replied to the topic Brake pedal in the forum Chevy/Ford Kits 10 years, 4 months ago

Is the overall length of the linkage adjustable? If so, extend the length to take up most of the free play in the travel.

If not, you might want to make the linkage adjustable so you can make it longer.
Steve Struchen replied to the topic Ford based MIGI $7800 in the forum Running MGTD Kits Cars for Sale 10 years, 4 months ago

Seller thinks it is a MG TF replica. No air filter? No rear bumper?
Steve Struchen replied to the topic How much does my TDr weigh in the forum General Discussion 10 years, 4 months ago

Let’s see… “No Driver or Passenger” I would say the answer is no.

But then, I was mistaken once before.:P

Plus one for BDriver and Royal. They gave the correct information to set the brake adjustment.
