For the centre caps to fit you just need the plastic rings to go in the centre hole. Shouldn't be too hard to get a hold of some. Otherwise you can bend the steel tabs around & it makes them stay in there.

I've been waiting for an update on this, definitely worth every bit of $800! I'll be jealous if you find a good 5 poster, I dream of finding an old alloy one for mine.

Hey guys, When I first got my Brumby it ran terrible & was slow,fuel economy was also bad. Try 360kms a tank or so. It had 196000kms on the clock. Looking at all things in the engine bay I could tell a lot had never been touched. So I decided on replacing the dizzy cap & rotor, plugs,leads, air filt...

G'day mate, This is only my opinion & others here are happy with their Weber carbs. My brother & I both have Brumbys. I have a stock carb & he has a Weber on his. I have to say that after driving both, mine goes slightly better. I wouldn't bother with this mod until all other mechanicals on your car...

Well just when you think you've seen it all something comes along & trumps it. Unbelievable, I've never seen bitumen spray used to that extent before. Form a gasket in the engine, must've thought it would work like tyre sealant.

I've seen people put grease on the back side of brake pads when all the little shims & stuff are long gone. It's supposed to stop the pads rattling round in there. I used to order the shims & put them back in.

Hey guys, I've only ever read that you need to space this setup down an inch. So maybe try some smaller spacers for a start. Also on the rear swaybar subject, checkout an Addco rear bar from the us. I got mine from Jegs over there. It has really improved the handling a lot. Turns in nice & tucks the...

Yeah Nuggetty is always good fun. The bollards I'm talking about are at the end of the Ridge line where the track turns & heads north. You start going downhill from here & eventually hit the rocky crossing at the bottom. The track is actually called Firebreak no 1 from where it turns north, on some ...

Looks like you all had a great drive out there, have to try & attend the next one. Ratcliffe track gets very rough past the bollards, did you guys go that far?
Anyway liked that YouTube vid.

You can slip that black plastic part off the mast & the mounting bracket & put them on a universal mast that is available where they sell car stereos etc. I did it on my Brumby, can't show you cos it's all finished & on the car.
