  1. 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?
  2. I think you are getting screwed. I'm still rolling with the factory lap-only front-only belts in the 64 Mercury.
  3. Good to get away from 'normal life' for a night. Also - not raining! Thanks all!
  4. So many names that don't post Settle down Nigel. Are you going to look at the old steam engine remains?
  5. I'll bring a 2-burner cooker and frypan. Performance not guaranteed.
  6. Maybe not so good off-road 30K USD https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2017/12/13/hemmings-find-of-the-day-1972-citroen-hy-camper/
  7. For a bias bar (twin master) you just need to conform to the above rule.
  8. 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?
  9. Are you swapping the diff to a different one?
  10. Yes, does look like a weird design.
  11. Or, make your own http://www.skidmore.edu/~pdwyer/amc/trunnion.htm
  12. Looks like you need this tool http://www.skidmore.edu/~pdwyer/amc/jacobspringtool.htm Then jack up the opposite corner to compress the spring and hook the took into the holes on the spring cuts. This keeps the spring compressed so it will come free when you jack the front up. Don't go dismantling the suspension with the spring still loaded
  13. I think this would fit https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/ran-rs999204
  14. I'm thinking of stepping up to some Rancho off road adjustables.
  15. Howdy. I stuck a camera under the car and went for a drive. This is quite bouncy over bumps, and idea how I can tame that. Currently considering some beefier shocks.
  16. Morris 8 or early Ford Defect? Morris Minor ones are common I guess, but not super narrow.
  17. Went for a swim in the Otaki River this evening, lower down near the road suspension bridge. Water was nice and warm. Heaps of people there though.
  18. Re-doing some of the trashed panels on the oxford wagon. Glue is OK up to a point but I want to hold some of the curved edges on better (plus I find it hard to get the location correct with the contact glue). Will have a look on the way home today.
  19. Anyone(maybe @64vauxhall)want to recommend a staple gun for upholstery - needs to fire short staples (4mm). Manual would be OK, or air-powered. Just for hacking so nothing too $$$. The ones I've found online are 6mm.
  20. I've got some 14x7 slot mags that came of a 240Z if you are keen FUckers don't quite work on my Morris.
