USA v UK Brumby

Hey Guys,

Ive got a subaru workshop manual for my Brumby which is quite usefull for the mechanical stuff. But all the specs ie plug gaps tensions refer to US or Uk dimensions, does anybody know which of these two is relative to the Oz version! Im assuming its the pommy one but i want to make sure before i do anything.

Cheers RubiSubi.

gogle convert imperial to metric to Nm etc. Do we have Oz specific measures? Oz was imperial went metric 1973. You can stil buy feeler gauges of both and torque wrenches also have both I dont get your need

Because of different fuel quality and types available across this planet many countries had different settings. Of cause as our fuels change over the years these settings become invalid. Your pretty set if you set the plug gap to .8mm - .9mm and the timing at 10 to 12 BTC. I have a manual for Brumby's so I can find out the exact old figures on most things if you want, just ask.

As for ft-lb to Nm, just type that in google and you'll get the conversion figures you need. Like this
