I picked up a Zink FV a few months ago and have been thinking about what to do with it. Not too much vintage racing in the north east so I'm thinking of converting it to a solo vee.

Lynn answered a few of my question and pointed me in the right direction, thanks

a few more...

Fuel cell, can we use standard type fuel cell from like Summit racing or does it need to be a blader ATL style?

Fire suit? Do we need one?

You do not need a fuel cell for Solo. My car has an aluminum tank. The Lynx had a one gallon Junior dragster cell. The only thing the Solo rules require you to wear are a helmet and closed toed shoes. Local laws, customs, etc. will dictate anything else you wear.

My Solo Vee came from it's previous owners with a Briggs & Stratton fuel tank screwed to the frame. I changed it out for a plastic 1-gallon junior dragster fuel cell.....

Thanks for the info as usual!!!

Do most Solo Vees use bolt on valve covers? I've read, that those annoying orange cones have a habit of knocking the covers off or lose when the standard VW bails are used.

Expect bolt on valve covers to be required next year. Amazingly, the same car had the same valve cover knocked off by cones on each day at the Nationals. I had not heard of valve covers coming off due to cones before.This is less likely to happen with trailing arms but it is still possible.

Never use bales/bails (?) for your valve covers or you risk being dragged into Hades with me...!!!!!
