Pretty much. 

Most people don't even torque shit like they should. 

Fuck I know some people that talk shit.

Good man. OS needs more quality British vehicles!

If the windscreen seal is anything like the Oxford one, Basis stock them.

Rear mounted v8 with a v-drive will get you there.

Lush!

I know that guy in the kubel pic!

Cool hack. I'd suggest just keeping the whole loom. Makes life easier.

How about that place in porirua that tests the lpg cylinders? I bet he could sort you out. 

Don't think I've ever seen an XW era falcon cab chassis before.

There was workshop mamual that covered this car at a tip shop I was i today. Do you want it?

A two-fer

Engine's out. First time for (mumble) years.

I've never fiddled with mine very much. Too complicated

Have you checked that the float level is OK, that would affect the mixture? Have copied a few bits out of manual. This is for 161/186 (HG) but should be mostly the same for 173 I guess?

I think you are getting screwed. I'm still rolling with the factory lap-only front-only belts in the 64 Mercury.

Good to get away from 'normal life' for a night. Also - not raining!

Thanks all!

Settle down Nigel.

Are you going to look at the old steam engine remains?

I'll bring a 2-burner cooker and frypan. Performance not guaranteed.

Maybe not so good off-road

Hey guys is it legal to use an adjustable bias pedal box in a road car? Not one with an "on the fly" adjuster, just one which can be adjusted until a good balance is reached and forgotten? 

Edit- found in LVVTA 35-00(02)(Braking systems) - still unsure. 

"An adjustable balance-bar assembly which actuates twin master cylinders 
must:
(a) be capable of being securely locked into position to prevent 
unintended changes in front-to-rear brake balance; and
(b) in the case of balance bar rods within a custom-built balance-bar 
assembly, be manufactured from a material of:
(i) appropriate strength; and
(ii) suitable diameter;"

For a bias bar (twin master) you just need to conform to the above rule. 

I try to be polite.

(mostly)

Looks like it will be one wagon and one cruddy Nissan attending from here (restricted licence woes). 

Anyway, should I bring  bottle of single malt?

What stopped it running on the bridge?
