Yup, that looks much better. Nice job!

Thank you, sir. The clock needs some work to get the second hand moving, but it does keep time, at least.

Hi Matt - Did you ever buy a Spal blower from SuperFormance? If yes, how close to oringinal is it? Also, what kind of hose to you use to replace the bad duct?

I am just now getting into all of this work In my case, my blower housings have broken mounting ears. I plan to fix them since the blowers work, but I am always looking for options.

Thanks! -Glen

Hi Glen. Not yet. I'm going to do the transaxle seals, rebuild the drive shafts, get new injectors in and do the cooling and fuel lines. After that, I'll be into the blower, probably during the coming winter. I've got one that's seized up due to lack of use and corrosion. I'll dig around in here in the meantime though. I remember one of the guys fabricating a mount and I know that Dr. Kananga has been working on ducting.

Okay, I just repaired mine with some JB Weld and I made some brackets that I riveted to the blower cases. That should be a permanent repair that can't be seen once installed, but it is always nice to know a replacement part is available. I am thinking of buying a new pair just to leave them on the shelf as spares.

Good luck with your work! It's looking good...
