Their eyes are everywhere from mirrors to guages and the car next to them when they should really be focused as he is.

    Everyone like this to get Cleetus to see it. He needs to switch up them Allen bolts on both Leroy and ruby to a grade 10 to stop shearing the bolts as well as loctite680 much better then red and blue. Work on ski lifts it’s some of the best stuff we have encountered. (No more sheared bolts)

    • @--_DJ_--
      @--_DJ_-- 3 года назад +6

      @Sic Semper Tyrannis I don't think they are letting the bolts loosen up to allow for a weak spot, they are breaking from being loose, not from being too weak for the job. 6 3/8 (?) Grade 8 bolts will provide some serious clamping force. Something like 42000 pounds.

      @Sic Semper Tyrannis I read your whole comment, including the part with the poorly designed shear you worked on. They are breaking because they are loose, not too weak. Even if they were using 8's to let it break there they are not breaking at a point where 8's would when they are backed off.

    Not trying to hate on anyone but these comments constantly about oh it’s frustrating with this thing James is doing not showing us his times..... cleet explained it and normally people who watch this channel about racing should understand the reasoning. It’s a class of racing. Grudge Racing..You don’t share your secrets or details about your set up and try to race people for money or bragging rights. It’s pretty much races you normally would see on the street. But trying to be safe and legal and on a prepped surface. If you truly don’t understand the meaning behind the secrecy then you won’t. Grudge racing is whoever passes the finish line first. Not oh I ran a 8.50 to your 8.60 or I got you off the tree. None of that matters. First across the line.

    The thumbnail made me thought you messed up on the launch and hit the wall driving *Ruby* lol I was like *NOOO!!! not my RUBY!!!* (my favorite project car on the channel) Glad she's ok though, just a few bolts needed to fix 😊. I learn more and more about fixing parts on cars everytime something breaks. You guys will do better next time for sure 😉

    pro tip .......... buya set of left handed drill bits and when things like that snap off you can actually spin them back out without drilling much of a hole. as long as the bolt isnt bottomed out and sometimes when it is.

      He did his work in the beginning but now he’s not tuning the chassis so Kevin gets the spot.
