I bought a CSR SuperShield I think its called, for the Volare... transmission and flexplate shield all in one, and its supposed to fit well under stock floors. Not required to have the flexplate shield, but I'm not replacing a blanket every two years.

Talking Re: Diapers are mandatory

While I certinally don't want to piss anyone off here, But why wouldn't a guy want to use a diaper, my god it may keep a car off the wall.....destroying the car, or worse, injury or death.

Diapers are darn cheap !!!.............J &J 's are asking less than a 100 bucks, and Dennis's are 169.00.

I personally care less about the clean up problems for the tracks.....but only my junk and my driver........

Use our head guys.......

Default Re: Diapers are mandatory

Dennis is already working on one for my Drag Pak. I just have to get some final dimensions on the block.

After already losing two engines that dropped the bottom ends, one on the chassis dyno and another in Atlanta on the track, Chris started working with Dennis to get one for our car, and I have been the sticking point in getting it done.

I did get about twenty pictures of the block with a ruler for dimensioning, but once I got home with them, I didn't know what I had shot. So there was no way I could explain the dimensions to Dennis. Maybe if I am not snowed or iced in all week, I can try to get the dimensions.

Rick, just a fyi, the diaper for a stock frame car is much higher. I think that model is for dragsters....

I knew we started life with diapers and ended life with them, but didn't think we would have to use them any time in between.
