Speaking of differentials, I seem to recall you can determine your gear ratio by rotating the rear wheel and counting the times the drive shft rotates. I'm lost from there. Someone care to share the math with me.

Car in picture also appears to have the wrong harmonic balancer. Sorry, but we notice these things don't we...

My point exactly Charles. I keep hearing it more and more on the show field, "Why are Concours cars being judged by Thoroughbred standards?" Maybe that is why we are seeing less and less Concours cars on the show field. We restored our cars to Concours standards, not Thoroughbred standards. What has been perfectly acceptable for a Concours car is slowly being eroded and being replaced with what a Thoroughbred car is required to have. If we think people who restored their cars 4 or 5 years ago to Concours rules are going to go back and change them we are crazy. They will just stop competing, and that is beginning to show. Get a grip guys, this is taking the fun out of it.

Charles,
I noticed in your first post on this thread you mentioned this being added to the rule book for Concours judging this year. Question 1 - is the clamp being reproduced so Concours owners can get them? I just checked 3 of the biggest suppliers and none mention the tab on their holddown clamps. Question 2 - if the clamp is not being reproduced with the tab and is only available NOS, are concours cars having a point deducted if they do not have the tab? If so, sound like Concours cars are being judged like thoroughbreds. For some reason that just doesn't seem right. Just curious.
