drftnmaz Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 id say adjust the left to suit second that motion tyre pumping up valve and a bottle to catch the nasty fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest detectors.co.nz Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 sounds like a good idea... but the ol' austin aint gonna handle NZ roads sitting 50mm off the ground.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 oh were you expecting it to handle? with a name like "landcrab"? sorry they arent exactly the mecca of the modifying world.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest detectors.co.nz Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 not handle... jsut able to drive would be good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 haha nice there's a place down these ways that does it, although that's going to be no help to you at all..... I'm sure there's a few 'mini specialists' up aucks ways, they'll know where to get it done for sure, being that the 1300 crab is from the same stable as the mini and the rest of the bmc/leyland awesomeness... heh, i actualy like crabs, kinda different. would be a cool daily, although minis etc always will rule more. post some pics of your progress....

lowlancer Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Ha, saw a metro or some shit with it's hydrolastic suspension dumped down Looked lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 i used to know a place in aucks but they closed down or stopped doing it? i can't remember. but i've never heard of anyone else in aucks that does it... try ringing some bmc place like "ables subaru wreakers" they also wreak heaps of bmc stuff. and ask them where to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 get the haynes manual, that says how to do it pretty well. called landcrab cos they go sideways during the rallys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBreeze Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Contact the Auckland mini club...someone in there will have the pump to pump them up. A few people down here have them but you'll find the mini owners are probably going to be your best bet. Just hope its the fluid thats low and not the nitrogen (i think?)
