I have one sitting in storage in Coorparoo that I need to get rid of - it has no manifold. Purchased running/no issues off eBay a while ago but I can't be sure how many km it has on it. Let me know what you'd give me for it and it's probably yours, especially if you can pick up. I'll PM you my phone...

Responding to the original post, why go to the trouble if the standard cooling system is coping fine? Seems like a lot of effort to go to (JMHO) to eliminate fans more of the time...

Today I got a brand new cover for my ute :smile: Went down to the trim shop expecting only to get it measured up, but it ended up being ready in 2 hours! It needed a new center bar and brackets, all up cost $270. Now it hides the mangled rear chrome strip nicely :rolleyes: Very nice indeed! Anybody...

Phantom, those two items in the list are how the wiring harness should be operating. The Fans will come on in the accessories position if the interior fan is on AND the A/C is switched on. Turn either off and they should turn off. The slimline fan will turn off with the lights on while the other fa...

MY A/C loom issues

Hi all, Merry Christmas! Does anybody have suggestions as to what could be causing the following problems after a/c install? Car blows up radiator temperature switches (seems like there's a heck of a lot of amperage being pulled through the switch?) All lighting flickering very noticeably (headlight...

So sorry to hear this, that's terrible, to think it could happen to me.

What about my drag race? :(

All the best with it! The PS is great and makes the brumby feel much more sporty as you can throw it into corners a lot easier and makes the car feel a pot load lighter! You will need to move the brake booster line to the other side of the manifold and possibly grind one of the little blanking tabs...

The power steering is a fantastic improvement on stock EA81. With the standard 4-speed gearbox you can rev the engine a bit higher to go faster if need be. That said, the 5-speed box is better manufactured than the 4-speed and will give you better acceleration particularly between 2nd and 3rd on the...

Hi guys,

After the slimline electric fan for a Brumby radiator (standard on vehicles with a/c).

Many thanks.

If I move to New South Wales, what headaches am I likely to encounter with registration for this car? It'll need an engineer's certificate, right? It has a crapload of modifications such as twin carby engine, rear disc brakes, exhaust, PS/AC and more.

AC is a complete loom that needs to be added to the engine bay/dash of the car and plugs into the factory non AC wiring. It's not difficult at all, especially if you have the wiring diagrams. I will also agree with Bennie that the PS is well worth the effort - in fact I think it is the best PS of an...
