I got Ruby Scoo on a new angle today

Hopefully the only time she'll EVER see this sort of angle!

Cheers

It could be. But this is A) cost effective for me atm and B) being done for sentimental reasons - stupid to some but I'm not done with her yet, she WILL see 500k km and beyond

I'll be with L's for some time I reckon, I've got all the parts I need, the knowledge of them and the know how so I'm pretty much sorted for a while...

Cheers

Finished fitting the clutch yesterday, today she got a good scrub and oil change. made a very cool clutch alignment tool, motor went in like you know what, even surprised myself. Many thanks to Frog for the bearing carrier, he saved the day.

I bought this today:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180799410547 ... 1439.l2649

:mrgreen:

:mrgreen:

Using e-go couriers, seller is going to drop it off at the depot for me (saves me 25% on shipping) & I'll pick up from courier this end (saving another 25%) so shipping will cost only $60

Then all I have to do is make up some brackets & whack it on!

Well I feel left out not posting on this thread yet. And it is a Subie....sort of...Panther Subie VW box....Panther subie dub dub...

I've fiddled and farted over my heater radiators for too long. The idea was to mount two motorcyle radiators up front, assist in the cooling and give us heat on our cold legs.

I had them horizontal then on the brake pedal etc etc. Today I finalised my decision.

They wouldnt be mounted on the brake pedal after all. Just behind it was ideal.

This pic depicts the radiators with the gutter guard protection. Goog bug catcher too as I found out and better to catch them before they hit the fins. And can you find in the picture a sheet of roof capping???

yes, used to divide the air to each radiator.

Now moy legs are very warm. If I want to avoid the hot air all I have to do is move them out of that airstream further.

Couple of strips of alloy flat and I'm happy with the result.

You should compliment that with a good, heavy duty breaker bar that can withstand a 6 foot pipe extension
