This. I did the brakes on a club sport today with some 5mm hose from Bunnings and a Powerade bottle with a hole drilled in the lid, hose down to the bottom of the bottle and a bit of fluid and your set. It'll pull back a little bit for the first couple pumps but once up to the bottle it's sweet, and you use clear hose your can tell when all the bubbles are gone/ fluid is clean.

Yeah been faffing around a bit .holidays, other things, lack of motivation to pick up tools after work etc. Still progress!

K so progress since last update. started going through getting a roadworthy and found out I needed to get a Lo2 plate or some such, pretty much a plate for L/H drive vehicle. rang up old Earle and had a chat, the way he worded it i just need to get R/H headlights (pretty sure they are). replace the seatbelts to Adr approved items and then make the indicators orange because red indicators is a no no. So, I started with the seatbelts Had to modify the top mounts (original bolt goes into body and i was not changing that) All done. exciting! Then last night (previous stuff was maybe a month back) I set about getting the lights sorted was going down the path of moving the indicators to the reverse light and mount a reverse light somewhere else. Indicators were going to be easy until i realised the indicators and stop light use the same damn wire. so i ran a seperate stop light wire down to the l/h stop light and then over to the r/h one. Yay one job done! then i moved the indicators to the reverse lights and installed amber bulbs. All done, YAY! One last thing, the reverse light. i managed to score a tiny LED lightbar and while it draws bugger all (20w) i had a loom with a relay and fuses so i used that and wired up the way i thought it should. nope. hrmm so i started poking and prodding. then i got lazy and started just jumping wires to see what was doing what when i checked what i thought was the earth, it was totally not the earth (explains why it was working right) i found this out after the wires started smoking, way to slow to move my fingers in time. this x4 But hey got it all wired and working saaaweeeettt. Here is how the reverse light looks in place. Oh that worklight to the left is super lush. x2 20w arlec from bunnings. $70 seems pretty solid and light is awesome. Lights all working, some way brighter then others. So with all the lights working i went for a cheeky hoon around the block and then backed in to test out the light. Fuckin WOW, like WOW! So yeah,that might be a little bit bright tbh but it can stay until i find something better. Now to call Earle!

Evening Roger, I shall carry out a full load stationary cooling test at the nearest convenience. Cheers, Hemi.

Righteo, today had a bit of motivation to do a couple mroe things on the truc, went for a drive to get coffee and ended up swinging past supercheap to pick up a couple things: Dash bulbs,Ciggy lighter/usb thing and also a windscreen washer motor. Ended up with a different model of ciggy combo as the narva one was just going to be too big to fit in the little draw. so grabbed a smaller (and half the price) supercheap item. and a washer bottle kit ( was $7 more then just the motor and came with a bottle, motor,hose, nozzles etc.) I also decided to mount the mirrors/mirror. \ I then moved onto the washer bottle, had to drill a couple more hole to fit, but they hide behind the new bottle and i got use reuse the old screws so thats cool. Took a bit of faffing about as i was getting confused with what wires did what, turns out the washer motor is actually mechnical and runs on a camm with ramped teeth. what a shit setup, so i over rode that and wired in the washer motor to give full noise electrical pump power, not some weird shitty spit spit spit carryon the mech one does. Then i routed the wires into the loom and tidied everything up. Working After this I decided that while not important , may aswell install the ciggy lighter because the dash was apart,i had a new part and it was easy. So i went about finding a feed, luck would have it that the fuseboard had a spare fused acc pin , yay! it also had a spare ground so made things super easy to wire up legit. i was going to epoxy it down but found it came with some sweet 3m sticky pads that hold it in place just fine. so now i have power in the cab. yay! Not the prettiest but it will work well. And all hidden away

I'll add it to the list but for the amount of highway driving being done can't really justify a swap. Diff is 3.4 according to spec sheet.

Umm, does this thing drive?we need to hoon this around the block if so.

Okey dokey, so today is a public holiday in Brissy so after a late wake up and walk i decided to get another couple jobs done. Started by removing the dash cluster to check the lights and lube up the gear selector needle a bit (the track was a touch warped which didnt help things. While thats out i decided to check the lights, they seem to work but ill throw new ones at it while it is apart to save dramas later on. I also decided to replace the speedo cable, Camel had purchased one but never got round to fitting, so i did. with the cluster out i could check the old one, seemed to work but could see it was winding up and you could hear scuffing noises, so i replaced it and wow, much quiet and the speedo dont bounce anymore (with a drill driving it anyhow). The cable is also 200mm longer , which is good as i can route it to have a more gentle curve in it. I then quickly dummied up one of the mirrors to see how they look. joined a facebook page for squarebody chevys and saw a couple trucks with these mirros on them albiet chrome, I reckon they are pretty sweet so will mount them and remove the garbage tiny ones that dont do anything. I was rumming around in the cab picking up parts and seeing what else i could add to the list when i found this in the glovebox, pretty sweet spec sheet, o.g too. this truck is awesome. This lead me to finding out the glovebox is held in with two screws pretty much, so thats on the list now too. Diddy and i had a yarn about what else we can do in regaurd to aircon, engine,carb etc but all of those are down the list after getting it legal. i want to hoon around in it!
