David; Several years ago some one described to me what it was like to be inside a radial engined vehicle. He described it as being inside a steel drum while 100 guys with hammers (both hands) beat on the outside as hard and as fast as they could. I never quite understood his statement untill I drove the Sexton for the first time. Your sense of hearing is pretty much useless inside the vehicle. I have a tachometer, and oil pressure guage hooked up, and tied to the front beam. I can shoot the oil return line with my laser thermometer, but mostly just feel it by hand. One of these days, if work picks up, I will have several instrument panel boxes bent, then cut all the holes, and try to sell a few to recover some of the cost. I should have drawings of the box in a few weeks for those who asked. Jesse.
