Got up to 90mph around the local tracks a couple of times, pretty smartly. It’s only a smelly old six you guys. If I get better than 18.5mpg driving it around like this I’ll be happy. That is what it did with the free fiddy, and 21.5mpg on long runs. Anyway it goes nicer and looks hell “tuff” with the 5/16” fuel line. Time will tell.

Meanwhile,on the bench….Image
Looks like a trip to the scrappy in the morning.

Got them on both cars now. Reusable stainless mesh that Glen put me on to. Pays for itself after 16 oil changes which is 100000 miles.

It did leave some rubber on the other side Mick but I had to look closely. Might have to move the cruiser out the way next time, and wait until the neighbor is out, though funnily he did inspire me by asking if the new driveway was providing good traction.
