Thanks DanielC, I'll get to callin' around
Ha, ha
Just called one of my suppliers (I'm a partsman/purchaser) and they deal with C.R. Laurence of Canada and actually have an order coming in soon so I can piggyback my parts. He's gonna get back to me with cost.
Thanks again
Who has replaced their window track felts and what donor did you use or did you find aftermarket stuff?
My local glass shop is quoting me $120-150 for 2 8' pieces. At that price I'd rather hit an auto wrecker BUT the closed pick and pull is over 2hours away
Thanks,
I might have the rings, I'll have to look
Not sure how long it'd take to get them to you from this side of the border tho
What are you doing for exhaust?
I'm at that point now myself. My only real option is to drive it the 20 miles to town with no exhaust and have a 2 or 2-1/4" system built unless someone knows of a system I can order
True, if you'd clock the whole backing plate ass'y 180 degrees after flipping the diff then it'd all line up
If it were me tho I'd just weld new perches on the axle tubes
J2eDeYe,
The only issue with that would be your wheel cylinders/bleed screws would be facing down so you'd have a bitch of a time bleeding air out of the lines and the park brake cables would be entering at the top of the backing plates. You'd be better off keeping the axle in it's stock configuration and welding new spring perches on top of the axle which would allow you to clock the diff for proper pinion angle.
The carb off the L18 is covered in junk. Hoses, wires, crap all over. Looks way more confusing that the one off the 1.6
I'll just wait till I've got the peso's to get a Weber. Or SU, or Delardo, or ??
Thanks for the help guys. Got it to run finally tonight.
Need to figure out a gas tank and get the exhaust built and it should be ready to see the light of day.

Lol, thanks Mike. Yeah, if I give it throttle it gets worse. I poured a little gas down the throat of the carb and it tried to run. I'm kinda suspecting fuel pump maybe not putting out enuf.
If it makes a difference I'm using the 521 L16 carb on the L18
