nels Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Got a bit more done this week. was very happy to get the car off the engine stands and closer to the ground. rear end is all back in place and starting on the front end. if anyone is looking at using the same method for a rotisserie I have the engine stand brackets, support bars on caster wheels and length of square pipe to join them. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nels Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Slight hold up getting the engine in. turns out I need to get my wiper motor and assembly installed first as I’d have to strip the engine down a bit to fit it in after. Things are s bit tight back there. wiper assemblies all tidied up but I need to make up the rubbers that lock them in place as you can’t get good ones for love nor money. so I’ve purchased a small block of neoprene to make them up with. also had to make a tool up to tighten them down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nels Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 While the engine was still out I decided to finish up the steering. I have a borgeson universal at the column and and my old torana racks universal was really stiff and worn out. I was on an Aussie v8 forum and they made a comment about borgeson doing a universal for holdens with a cotter pin so I tracked one down. If anyone is looking for one they are not loaded on their website so you need to call them direct for it. It has the Holden end and a 3/4 dd shaft. My mate had a piece sitting in the garage, said I could have it so now that’s another thing ticked off. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
