As said earlier repco (and other places) usually have an assortment of single leads so just get the right length ones

Have been uber slack for the last few months, things gt too hard. Finally got around to buying some engine mounts (arrived today), after the replacement ones sourced from Japan didn't actually exist. SO have some out of a 260c which are very similar and will/should bolt to the car, but possible some fiddling of the engine brackets to get it sitting right as they are a bit taller. So this weekend will look at getting the flywheel and clutch etc all bolted back up, and have a crack at putting the engine back in the hole. Progress. Hopefully.

AA plus is different to normal AA membership, and gives you a lot more options (basically $800 towards to costs of whatever you ask them to do) e.g. tow you home. From memory its about $40 extra a year

Accurate portrayal of the lighting conditions as well!

Thanks man. I've got severe aids currently so don't get too close

Ban

No need to preorder, have made booking based on current numbers who have confirmed and not required. People are big enough and ugly enough to read the thread so if they haven't followed instructions then their bad

At 12 so far, any more takers?

Ok looks like we may have enough that they want a heads up on preorders, so will put up a menu next week.

This month deets I need to confirm numbers by Tuesday (as they need to make extra provisions if there are enough of us, including some idea of orders), so please confirm your attendance here ASAP.

So this month have booked us in at One Fat Bird in Karori.

@brocky41 see above

Any chance you have ripped into one of the 260c's yet? Keen to see what the mounts look like. Cheers

Lol, thats not what I meant, but sounds plausible.

Yes for pre cruise. At wagon time as well. DISCLAIMER - My attendance is 100% dependent on mountain conditions. haha

Yeh was about to say Some of us we'll folk will probably be keen as well so keep us in the loop but then also saw top post. Could meet up in otaki

You'll fucking eat what you're given mate. so ribs.

Had a thing. It needed some stuff done do it. Saw manu, tried some stuff, realised we are idiots/I'm an idiot and did it the easy way. Oil line feeds the turbo and the vacuum pump for the alternator. Ordered new engine mounts ex Japan (wallet not happy but I know they will work). Last few things are to fit crank pulley, flywheel and clutch, and pull the stud out of the old block for the sump. then it's time to go back in! Aftet this photo I put the engine mount brackets on and it will be in the way of the factory turbo inlet pipe so will have to bodge something up for that

@xsspeed , you better have a good story for having a personalized plate

Sump on, dip stick swapped, new water pump, cam belt, idler and tensioner, thermostat blah blah blah still no luck with engine mounts. 260c ones are very close but about 10mm taller, so having a think about that

And by like this I mean like this http://www.mazatorubber.com/index.php?p=view_product&product=11220-Y4400 / 11220Y4400

Shit yes please. The one I'm looking for looks like this. If one of yours look close could you please measure the bolt spacing? (Between The bigger or the two holes on each side)

@brocky41 have you got any 260c engine mounts floating around? I see your wrecking parts for them on trademe

coolio, thought it would be like that.
