    Jon - where did you get the ventilation hoses? What is the diameter in millimeters??

    Do they slide easily onto the various vents (heater, dash, etc.)?

    I would say that with the quality of restoration that you are doing, to leave out the heater cores would be a real omission. The weight is maybe 30 lbs. with coolant. The fact that you live in SD shouldn't enter into it. Just my $0.02 worth...

    I thought of leaving the heater cores out of my hot rod Dino coupe for better ventilation and less weight but decided to keep it original and the weight factor is minimal. I would have the cores pressure tested before I had them recored. They are pretty robust units and rarely leak. If they leak at a later date they are not to difficult to pull and fix. If you don't think you'll need the heat you can skip hooking up the heater hoses to them.

    You're right, the heater goes back in.

    Can someone give me a primer on hoses. It seems the water hoses are rubber and other hoses such as blow by are cloth coated. When and where do you use which?

    Jon,
    You need the heaters for defrost to work. A couple of times a year you get fog in San Diego and defroster helps. And who knows, a drive to the mountains might be fun. Keep it up.

    Be careful with that brass water pump impeller. I had one that came in a rebuild kit but because mine didn't have internal threads to pull it back off if it got pressed on too far, I was a bit afraid to use it. I just cleaned up the seal surface on my original cast steel one and reused it with no problems.

    Thanks for the great posts it has been my pleasure to watch your work unfold.
    On my car all water pipes are rubber and all other pipes are cottom braided as in attached photos. There are two exceptions firstly the take off for the servo which is a rubber covered spirally wound wire pipe and on mine the top feed from the radiator header tank is cotton braided. i am not sure that this is 100% correct but it was probably done so as to match the other hoses in that area.
    Keep up the good work
    Dave

    The half shafts were sitting around because I couldn't figure out they came apart. The parts book doesn't show an exploded view. Quite easy once I figured it out. Also to Jim's question about the ventillation hose, I measured all the parts that the large hose connects to. All the fittings were about 89mm. The original hose looks to be about 90mm and the new hose is 92mm. It does seem a tad loose. The smaller fitting is 70mm and I've found no replacement as of yet. Back to the half shafts, I'm getting them powder coated up to the spline. The assembly that holds the bearings, black oxide and the covers cad yellow, with new boots and clamps. I was told you can only use the bolts once, does anyone no more about this?

    Jon,

    Bolts have been off mine 5-6 times and have held up fine except for one. One bolt failed at junction of full dia. and threads. This was before I did much of the work myself. Don't know how long I drove like that but found at oil change. I torque them and go easy. Should last forever if not overtightened.

    John
