Default C1/C2 Miscellaneous Help Database

I've been collecting various information (pics, doc, links) for the past few years as I assume others have. I finally got around to organizing what I have saved and build a database to that information.

Below is same text as on web site:

I have tried to give credit where credit is due. If I have not given you credit please inform me and I will adjust. If you find something of yours that you don't want include please inform me and I will remove. If I have given you credit for something you have NOT done please inform me and I will correct. In other word let me know if there are problems. If you would like to submit something to add send either .PDF --- .JPG --- .GIF ---.DOC.
Email ==> jansseng@charter.net


So as stated if you want or don't want CREDIT for your work let me know. And for SURE send me NEW stuff and I will add and give you credit.

I would like to thank DZVette & JohnZ for giving me permission to publish the fine (No SUPER) work.

Link to database ====>>

This is all new so let me know of problems. I did the grouping so just look for something if you can't at first find it. Also all groups are NOT populated as I don't have anything to put in them so as I get submissions I will add.

And 1 final note I am only ware-housing the information and have not VERIFIED it so user beware
George

Well!!!!! That was interesting!
I certainly had no clue that my extensive comments on flywheels, bell housings and starters was going to be included in such a data base. I probably should have edited it to make it shorter------------AND, written it in a more "professional" format. You'd think someone with a Masters in Aerospace Administration could construct an explanation like that a little better-------------and shorter. I hope reading it doesn't put you to !

Tom

"extensive comments"

I like extensive comments. But then I'm a bit of an "information junkie". Keep those "extensive comments" coming our way!



George,
Thanks for your efforts in pulling the resources together! Along with Barry K's pages and those of others, you guys keep us well covered and the info is easy to get to! Certainly helps to make this place a learning environment!

Nows your chance to finally write that all inclusive document about Bellhousings, Clutchs, Flywheel, Starters, etc with pictures of course.
