Plugs done with everything else about 1500km ago. The leads etc havent been looked at yet. Sounds like i need to give the carby a good clean, then if that doesnt fix it then new leads etc and see how i go from there.

thanks for the help guys. will let you know how i go.

thanks guys. It was serviced with new fuel pump & new filters about 1500km ago but will still double check them. As the vehicle was sitting around doing nothing for nearly two years i drained the fuel tank etc when i replaced filters and the pump, and have recently run a injector/carby cleaner throu...

Hey guys, My Brumby has been running great guns then the other day whilst taking off from the lights it would not excelerate. I took off then as i put my foot down nothing would happen. the motor was still running and the car still moving forward but it wouldnt then would chug and surge forward then...

Not sure it's anything faulty as is the same on both sides but will definitely check all that before I make anything.

From the chart longs posted its definitely positive camber! Might look at making up some brackets for the top of the strut. It is currently adjusted as low as it goes

So just to clarify my two front wheels are running on the outer edges of the tyres, not flat. Looking at it from the front of the car the bottom of the wheels are closer at the bottom than they are at the top. so that is positive camber? and can be fixed by adjusting tie rod ends?

Hey guys, I need a hand in how to adjust the front wheel caber on my brumby. Its toeing in alot rather than flat or even toeing out. Need to adjust so it goes around corners a bit better. I am handy with a car but by no means a mechanic. I read the workshop manual and it doesn't really explain it to...

And here is the finished product......well almost. I got my hands on the console, thank you dfoyl. Its all sprayed up with charcol vinyl paint, and fitted in the car. Painted the console area around the gear shifter as well as with most brumbys it was all faded in looking a bit ordinary. Just need t...

Yeah the sony head unit i have measures 165mm in length and thats including the wiring at the rear so should be all good.

revmax, Thanks for that. Will have a little more of a look locally and if i dont have any luck, will pm you for the number.

Will be keen to see how that finishes up. I will keep looking n keep trying wreckers as I am sure to come across one at some stage

Hey guys, Does any have or know where i can get my hands on a grey early 80's center console/stereo surround? Am looking at putting it in a brumby so i can fit my stereo, and it will look a little more stock as apposed to makign up a bracket/spacer for it. Chased some wreckers in SE Melbourne and lo...

Cheers will do. Going to Subabits in clayton in a few days so will swing past the one on center road if i have no luck on ebay.

Small gap is all good. Thanks mate.

I've seen some on ebay for $20 so will bid on it, if not will try a wrecker in S.E melb, there are plenty around. Much modifying for them to fit (cutting etc)?

Here are some 15" 505 steel wheels i picked up. These ones only came out on the wagons and can be hard to find. Sourced mine from a peugeot wreckers through a family memeber that is a peugeot enthusiast. Needs a centre cap but measured it and its a 63.5mm or 2 1/2" across, so will fit quite a few am...

El Freddo, that looks great! Think I will go down that path. From the photo it looks like colour matches pretty well. Any idea what they go for?

The 6.5 splits u put in did they go in the same spot as the standard 4" n if so did u need a spacer?

Thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated. Looks like i will have a change of plans and will look into the splits. Does anyone know if a 6 or 6.5 speaker will fit into the same spot as the standard 4" without using a spacer? hoping to get away from changing the door trim. Was going to go the 6x...

hey guys, Am new to the site and about 6 mths ago bought myself a brumby. It had been sitting around a guys property for years and only used to move fire wood. It was in great condition apart from a little paint and needed a good clean and service. It will be on the road soon and looking to put a pa...
