h4nd's 1974 Daihatsu Fellow Max 360

[h4nd]

Check my sig (you might need to use a computer, not a phone to see it?)

I may be able to make you pistons if you want

[h4nd]

Thanks: that's really interesting, but probably not necessary; I have an OK looking piston and barrel, and a spare short block, and another spare rust heap. I'll try rebuilding it with those, do the port chamfering myself, and see how long it goes.

I understand those high silicon alloys are a swine to machine?

Also: you should probably be charging enough for that kind of work I can't afford it

It wouldn't hurt to know your capabilities, some of my work projects have mechanical aspects at the moment.

Reminds me of this

Although, with a Daihatsu 360, the 'speed' bit may be pushing it.

I found my folder that is a photocopy of the service manual.  Do you have one or would you like me to digitize it?

Thanks man, I have one, so save yourself the time. Appreciate the offer!

[h4nd]

I sent a spare to Scotland, and encouraged the chappie to share progress. I didn't see a thread here, and didn't hear back if he'd threaded elsewhere. Maybe I should look up his email.

[kyteler]

This guy is painfully boring but it was good to see your car regardless. 

 

[h4nd]

Thanks for posting the link. (I'll watch soon). I took him for a thrash up a motorway, to demonstrate dealing with the shagged synchros, then left him to it.

Holy shit was that your one? I watched the vid a couple of days go and had fun spotting CHCH landmarks.

Port hills looked scary as fuck in that.

[ajg193]

Yer damn google video links don't work sir

Rode from Wainui to Governor's Bay in it during '18 Nats. Such a fun little car. 

[h4nd]

Have my photo links from a couple of posts back gone weird? Or is that just my browser being tin-foil-hat?

[h4nd]

Oh, I'm not ubscribed to this thread. (!?_) Thanks for the heads-up on the goog vid links @ajg193. You mean the goog vid links in the photo collections? (link pls) Chur

Ironically, it handled better on the (cough) Cavallinos. The Chinese biscuits don't brake as well, but the limited cornering is probably a net benefit :-/

[ajg193]

The one after the hubnut video for example.

Pretty much any google stuff you post just shows up as a circle with a line for me

[igor]

I couldn't see those either. Same circle and line hieroglyph.

[h4nd]

I pasted the photo in to the page, I thought I was putting he image onto the server. Shall see to it soon.

[h4nd]

Now with added pics.

I see that if I'm looking at the page in an anonymouse browser, the sig doesn't show. No wonder people ask things which are referenced in the sig.

I've been chipping away at that corroded boat anchor motor.  Bits of it were OK (starter fine, alt could be ok) but the carbs had inhaled water for years, so lots of the motor is junk. I was quite interested in getting the distributor assy off it (have disassembled most of it) but I think the cog / gear wheel at the bottom of the shaft may be corroded solid. I haven't been able to split the engine cases to see in there, even with all the bolts out. I may just give up on it soon. I had hoped to have a spare to match the spare engine I have.

Hi there I have one of these engines in a off road buggy am after parts any help would be appreciated thanks Paul 0210377799
