i just noticed that i said carbide bit, instead of carbide burr in sbt #1--tried 2 edit but a notice came up that you only have 65 minutes 2 edit & my time had expired. anyhow, i recommend a round tip(not a ball) 3/8 carbide burr--they are very handy! sbt #2 is very simple. on a race car you need catch cans for certain liquids--such as radiator overflow & oil from the valve cover breathers. for the oil, i used the breathers that come in a vac-u-pan system. instead of letting the oil blow out onto the valve covers, just run a piece of rubber hose from the tube on the breather into a tin can of some kind attached 2 the inner fenders or mounted somewhere convenient in the engine comp. i used small mouth cans such as large brake fluid cans or large lead additive cans with a mouth slightly larger than the hose. today these type cans are probably plastic. if you have plenty of $ 2 burn, you can just buy the nice lookin hi-dollar chrome catch cans. since these cheap trick cans don't have a drain plug, you may want 2 rig em so they are e-z 2 take out & drain. when i started racin i still had a big roll of rebar tie wire left over from my ironworker days, so i used it 2 secure the cans--it was not rocket science, but it worked & cost nothin! i always had the wire in my tool box so i could do quick makeshift repairs as needed. duck tape & tie wire are 2 gearhead necessities! make sure the rad catch can is tall & big enuff so it won't allow sloshout. if the hose is not a snug fit, you can wrap it with duck tape 2 take up the slack or use a short piece of slightly larger hose over the smaller hose & can neck, with clamps on both ends, if needed. it don't have 2 be airtight--better 2 leave it slightly vented. it ain't purty, but it works(or at least i know it did in the 20th century!
