Ya ain't getting them Rally II's back...

I haven't put them on the Can Am yet as I need to get a set of tires worthy of them...but hopefully soon...I will NOT use the the dogs I have on it now other than as spares once a new set is obtained.

Hope your vibration issue is quickly resolvable.

I know...and the only other set of Rally II's I have left are being used on my car trailer. Somehow I don't think using them with the 8 ply ST's would help me solve this.

Actually, Rich, we could work something out on the set that my Can Am had, if you want. Just let me know.

Thumbs up Photos of 75cancup's set up...

Just back from 75cancup's spread and here are the photos we promised. Hope they are helpful.


PS. Got a decent NASA hood from 75cancup, stamped with a manufacture date of 1973 but no vents at the cowl.

Interesting about the NACA hood. Does the date have a letter for the month in it?

I'll check it in the garage tomorrow, but pretty sure it just has the year 1973 stamped on it. I was at a cruise this summer and there was a 1973 GTO there with a ventless hood. Just a thought but the hoods 75cancup has would be Canadian made and the GTO at the cruise was an Oshawa car too, could it be just another one of those Oshawa built car traits?

Thanks Mike and Ray,Pictures do indeed show the BMR's in place and doable . They have a distinct size threaded rod over the other brands out there.One more question is the frame side have bushings or the spherical bearings? and one more too, any special axle side bushings need to be used?

Default Thanks ray

Bushing on the frame and a regular GM poly on that axel . Thats the original BOP 2.56 posi in there for the mock up , the 3.23 thats on the floor is going in this winter. Sorry about the red i'm having mixed feelings about them .
Side note on all my hoods , they are all stamped 1973 and all have a different date code ? Two of the hoods are cup edition hoods .
