Best looking is to take your aircraft color as the main color and detail with grey. > Has anyone with the Simpson belts tried taking the name advertising off them?

"V" type > These belts are available in 7 colors and the slip on shoulder pads are an option. These belts are apparently 3" wide but I'm not completely sure. Most race cars these days use nothing but 3". I would try asking if 2" are available, might save some more dough. > Home page at http://www.leafracewear.com/ > Great pricing on lots of stuff. > > Another great reasonably priced Canadian supply house is > http://www.guyons.com/ > They stock every single item to build a complete race car and are located in Edmonton Alberta. Huge catalog available but I think you have to own a race car to get one. No price list, they want the phone calls. > > I would like to see some discussion on what style of belt RVers should buy when ordering from race car supply houses. I am looking at "V" types but I could be wrong. There are also "H" types. Perhaps different RV models are better suited to a particular style. > > > Norman Hunger > RV6A Delta BC > CASCAR Sportsman #96 team owner/driver (working twards 2004 Super Series, just need another quarter mil or so) > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:23:21 PM PST US From: "John Starn" Subject: Rocket-List: Re: RV-List: Wheel pant access holes for air --> Rocket-List message posted by: "John Starn" Tom and I used the standard size 1 1/2" stainless cover availble anythere they sell plumbing stuff (Wal-Mart) and the "truck" tire/tube extention from our local NAPA store. We made a ring cut out of alum scrap that matched the plug, riveted it to the inside of the pant. The thickness of the ring and the pant materials made for a tight fit for the cover. We used chrome valve stem covers (5/16" six point type) that makes it easier to see, remove and check the pressure as a one man operation. Lots of landings and HRII speed, everythings still intact. A small paint mark on the side of tire would solve the location of the stem problem. Line up the stem and the hole, mark the tire at the lowest part of the rim. (We used a yellow "paint stick", NAPA also, to make the dot.) Archive, this might save a re-invent of the wheel.
