Attached is the picture of the installation of the UFI 18g turbo kit.
Drove the dunger to JPC's for a new clutch this morning. Turns out there was a bucket load of mud in there and the rear main was leaking. Pick it up tomorrow. Then goes to Pro Axle on Thursday.
I wonder where you picked it all up from. Lol. Wait not funny. LolQuote:

I blame you! Lol. You were leading and I did hear over the radio your voice recommending no one to go through it, except for Mudski.:tease:Quote:

I'm sure I said " no one go through, especially Mudski". PML.Quote:

I did, but dont now unless I absolutely have to.
Yeah well after the bill I just got for the work done. Gawd! You'll keep Mick! You will get into your car one day and land on the floor as your seats will be gone and replaced will milk crates.:tease: All in the name of fun though...Quote:

I pulled out my non functioning stebel airhorn, pulled it down and gave it a clean out. I now have a working airhorn again.
I also replaced the alternator plug after my trip to Bright where the connectors and wire broke and alternator lost all charge, I ended up doing a dodgy solder on the terminals and got it charging again.
Finally I wired up a trailer lead/plug with flat cable in behind the jack cover. All I have to do now is hang it out the back door when/if I tow anything.
What you looking at putting on this time?Quote:

Happy with the result.

You'll get good miles from the BFG ats, they dont like being aired down and tend to tram track a bit when lower but still a good tyre
Took the dunger to Pro Axle today. Fixed the drifting left issue and adjusted the toe out. Said my caster was spot on but the diff end bush in the adjustable panhard was stuffed. Luckily I keep these in stock! ;) And the only thing left to do but I can do later is put an adjustable top knuckle bearing in to straighten the left wheel so it won't wear the outside of the tyre. At $300 to do it, it will have to wait.
Hopefully the tyres turn up tomorrow and I'll feel like a teenage kid with new Reebok Pumps!
Not today but yesterday BA and I did the swivel hub rebuild and wheel bearings on my old bus.
It's a long and grotty job but hanging out with a mate, playing with cars and talking shizen is why we're all here isn't it?

Always a pleasure Drew I enjoy your company.... I really dont enjoy doing a full hub rebuild but is very satisfying when complete.Quote:

So the brushes are also nearly finished so I'll replace them and the bearings while it's apart.
Looks like I'm up for a vacuum seal again. Only did it 12 months ago.
Is there actually an alternator under all that crap, Kallen? Just be extra careful with the winding conductors as they really don't like being flexed.
I slipped the seals out of the new bearings, washed the grease out and packed them 2/3 full with innox mx8 high temp, high pressure, water resistant grease. Don't over fill them as the grease expands when hot and forces its way out.
Haha. Yea there was lol.Quote:

Some types are made to be replaced. I seem to remember some others are made so you buy the Regulator complete with new brushes. One one occasion as a desperate measure I held the springs back, cut the copper pig tails and resoldered the new ones on, but that was a different type, (a couple of decades ago).
Geeze that would be a pain. Here is my unit
Have a look after you have taken the unit off, you might see a way of getting to where the pigtails are soldered.
Everything is soldered on to the board and board soldered to the coils. I can't remove board.
But I can replace the contacts. Just un soldered one and there a straight 8x5..
Any idea where I'd buy then from?
Contacts or carbon brushes? An auto elec, may have them. Maybe an auto shop. The downloaded manuals have an alternator overhaul section.
Sorry. Brushes lolQuote:
