Thought it might be fun to start a thread sharing what we’re doing to our beloved Vipers
Today I installed a skip shift eliminator and cleaned the under carriage a bit. Couple days ago I installed a new OEM power steering pump with a new OEM reservoir..also a new high pressure hose. I’ll tell you what the Quickjack 5000TL is a must have for these old cars..

After 24 years, the gas filler pipe n ipp le is starting to separate from the gas tank. The pipe n ipp le is glued onto the outside of the tank. It has a big flange of sorts right where it glues to the outside of the tank. Oddly, the filler neck enters the tank half-way down the height of the tank, on the tank's side. So with anything over half a tank, the gas starts leaking from where the n ipp le is glued to the outside of the tank. No new gas tanks are available, and any used tanks are also about the same age and have or will have the same problem. So I'm researching the best glues for HDPE plastics, and gasoline rated sealants. Gonna try and re-glue the n ipp le to the tank. Worst ca$e, is to have a new tank made.

Vic- I see in your sig that you did a lightweight flywheel. Was that a noticeable difference? Been thinking of doing the same.
