Sausage fest/paddock meet. EBOP, Easter weekend
tortron replied to johnnyfive's topic in Upper North Island Region
Ha, turns out I was on the opposite side of the harbour. Tried to get away today, but mate, those numbers will need digging soon. But that bin is no good there, go get the tractor and shift it to the implement shed, now there's a gap there gotta build a new bench, chop up some oil drums, don't use that good wood, cut the rotten bits of this one, it was here back in 82 when I bought the place. While you're here climb up there and check those bulbs -

Was a few f heads and ohv conversions made for these The engine is just a copy of the 100e but with proper bearings and smaller valves Wonder if Ive delt with that bloke. One guy got upset I didntt spend all my money and build an engine like his, and now won't sell me anything

Not a major to drill out the head and press in some brass stem seals. Cast iron if you think you are a racecar owner. Then use whatever valves cut to length you want. IV got to do this myself -
Fixed it all, filled up with gas and went in and failed again Sender gasket had dried out and was pissing out So I drained the tank and passed. Puhuhu

Fail wof on Front tyres (Dunlop air ride crossplys or some such) too deteriorated One wiper is loose and not moving Bonnet hinge loose Seat bolt loose Bloke couldn't adjust the seat so il explain it Brakes are no good Fuel leak at the pump

so what i am seeing is that 1. you can put some massive slugs in that engine 2. you should braze some tube and flange into the intakes and run multiple carbs off them

some chevette rear lights will do it but you are a brit, so im imagining some kind of east end chop shop, tripple headlamp conversion -
Il look for the news headline Local man kidnaps, tattoos, and skins woman stainless or brass mesh will be fine over that hole, and might look good. Drill and cut out the front brake housing too and put some in there as well. I did that to one of my old Hondas. Pluss I'm sure you have some of that laying around, its commonly found in pipes and "flower vases"
