Guest Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 not quite the answer i was looking for, maybe something a little more sturdy.. like some kind of aftermarket spring loaded hinge or something??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Heck it's sturdy, didn't have no head bolts so used Red Green duct tape to hold them heads on the block, jus wrapped er 'round<BR>a few times an she purrs real fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 yeah, but thats just the engine, the gas door has to support the weight of the gas cap when i'm filling up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Give poor Chris a break. <P>Even he knows that the heat from the exhaust manifold cures the Green Red Duct Tape making it much stronger.<P>Chris could cure a double layer with a propane torch but bight burn the cat to ground.<P>Harold would rkomend a searzh 4 part carz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
