Have you drained the 3 year old fuel out out the system and put fresh 95 RON in the tank?

Can I order a pair of these rear top mounts? Thats a fabulous idea/job with those.

gearbox and front diff all in one oil change - unknown frothy looking stuff and G70 out - castrol VMX80 in - looks like sewing machine grade ! is meant for light commercials and older cars needing better cold weather shifts - recommended by RSRPaul Shifting just as nice as before Also got a wash, s...

+1, weld on kit for front xmem. Is that the Kmac jobby there Jonno?

according to previous owner - Turbo was rebuilt and is in the boot awaiting installation. I've had it in a yard and have never got around to getting it re-installed and started up. So thats why its been sitting around, and could very well be a good runner -hmm what a shame. interest in these cars s...

I want the seats, I want the whole car. Whats wrong with it?

Also, is there a way you can tell if your hoses are swelling under pressure? Maybe put a couple of small zip ties around each hose at a few mm's apart and see if they break/ become loose. I am a little excited to try out some braided lines, where is a good place to buy some? I had my front lines ma...

Sikaflex make a range of such automotive sealants, eg 226, 227, 232 in white or black. Not to endorse any particular supplier/retailer, B_nnings have an extensive range of sukaflex products.

Could you feel an improvement over the aged originals? Not so obvious with sedate driving, but harder and faster applications yes. A bit off topic, however to expand briefly What would really help with braided lines is bracing the master cylinder to reduce movement at the firewall, which is signifi...

I have braided lines on the front of the L series. Not so much because the originals were stuffed, more so to improve pedal feel and wasted energy.

Hey Bennie, maybe I've missed a post or several but howd you go with the Hi/Lo range selector on your super duper gearbox? I'm assuming you used the cable from a Lib/Imp setup.

Cheers

Great, thanks for that Phil.

I will ask yet again, in more simple words. Do these wheels have ideal offset for L series? I dont have a Brumby so I dont want wheels that stick out on an L series.

J.

Not myself, but I will let you know when I get around to making and fitting one to my wagon:twisted: Its on the long to do list.

I think it would be helpful overall, esp with spirited driving.

J.

Its all looking really good now SB, you must me lovin every spare moment you have for this build :D. As for your front springs, I believe you can have them adjusted or re-wound by a specialist leaf and coil spring shop, or custom order some say example King springs. I have never done either so can't...

Thanks for that info. They are a mean looking wheel on an L series esp at 15" dia.

J.

What offset are these wheels?

J.

And did you get the diff out of the same car? It should be an LSD (unless they came off an auto)

Please qualify/xplain that statement wagonist, not sure what you mean:neutral:

Well Jonno I sincerely hope yours turns out like mine, or otherwise I will be starting all over My mate decided that we wanted it to look inconspicuous when being looked over, so he took care with adding a shaped plate to the underside to maintain structure and appearance.

So steptoe your modded MY engine Xmember will look a little like my modded L series Xmember! http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/ModEngXmem_zps7b6b88a4.jpg http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4wd/ModEngXMem_zps924c834e.jpg http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy349/mission4...
