Thread: Lynch's 6spd / VE-T thread

Did you put lock tight on the bolts for the carrier bracket? I rem coheed said something about his backing out often till he put some on them.

It already had some on there

BOO! Lazy and not good enough! None of that worked and ultimately the bracket got welded.

What's the plan for brakes? Since your running one side stock and the other spec v?

I used green locktite on mine and it has worked just great over the past 2+ years.

I had a b13 hub machined for a spec v axle, so wheels an brakes remain the same.




They sandwiched red locktite between the pieces as well as the bolts you can actually see it in the pics

Hope it works for you.

That locktite is going to burn off and the bolts will come out eventually.

Red locktite 271 burns off right around 300F and 272 right around 450F.
That's at a one time burn to remove it, constantly heating and cooling it will have the same effect over the period of months.(more so if they used 271. Which I'm sure they did since its cheaper)

Green locktite works up till around 450F burns off around 500F, much much better.

Got the clutch slave cylinder on and plumbed





Also sorted out some of the wiring and misc shit in the bay and got the intercooler piping back on




Still gotta bleed the clutch, add gear oil, install battery, tighten strut bolts + axle nuts, install clutch switch on pedal and hook my exhaust mid pipe back up..

I also ordered a new oil feed banjo since mine is pretty old and they can clog up (that's how lumpys first turbo died) and I'm going to see if I can have my oil feed hose repaired, if not I gotta order one of them too..

Oh and I ordered some brake fluid specific hose for my remote resivor..

So prob still gotta wait another week but that's ok..

how long was the wait for the hubs again?
