Coastal Maine rider and a question.

Howdy Everyone,

Time for my annual post and a question. I'll start off with the 93 is running like an absolute champ and have been riding every day weather allows. So I was leaving work today and there was a black 89 with an USD conversion parked at work! I've never seen it, looked pretty good at a glance. So did someone here park at north gate at BIW today? If so, I park at south gate every day. I would love to hook up if possible.

I guess I have two questions. I have gathered almost all of the parts to do the Mark Rittner formula, front and rear. Does someone have the original website saved that had Mark's writeup? It was really well detailed with all of the machining dimensions.

Hope everyone is doing well,

Dan

Dan,

If you have the original links for those web sites, it's quite possible that you can find those pages (complete) using the WayBack Machine.

I sent an e-mail to Marc to see if he still has his files he sent to Barry Edwards (FJMod site) I would like to have them here at our site.

We will see what Marc says.

Awesome guys! Thanks for the Wayback Machine, I had totally forgotten about that. Any luck who might be riding a black 89 to Bath Iron Works?
