Monza rehab

Chuck. Kurtis. Can you see me now?  Newbie who, of course, doesn't know anything.

Hiya, Kurtis! Welcome to WG.    of that gorgeous Monza you used to have?

Oh, and Kurtis..that sleeve for the transmission we were talking about Saturday? I looked through my Lario Rehab thread until I found when I'd made it in 2013. I'll make one for the Monza when I get a round toit.
Rod Yeomans (Yak Fat and Morizi here) came back from the grave.. RIP Rod, you were a good guy.. and gave me the dimensions in a PM.

Hi Chuck,

The tubular bush is 58mm long. You need to cut about 60mm of arc to a depth of about 10mm from the front edge to fit around the casting protrusion.

Internal diameter is 58.5mm front to rear

Front external diameter is 61.15mm

Rear external diameter is 64.0mm

You may need to trim it down depending on your casting but that will be close. You may also get away with a slightly smaller internal diameter to thicken up the walls if you desire. I'm happy with what I have. The really thin front is well away from the uni but gives more surface to spread any possible impacts.

I used rubbery type goop for impact resistance as well rather than retaining fluid.

Cheers

 Gots all the decals in case of an eventual restoration. I learned a long time ago with antique airplanes that if you think you might need it and it's available, you'd better get it.  The Kid told me to get an extra tank decal because they are easy to screw up.
Right now, the (ahem) patina is kind of growing on me, though..
