Installed a brake bias bracket and converted my auto hubs to manual ones :)

I made a trade with AB and ended up with a pair of stock Nissan front mud flaps. Put them on this arvo and at the moment have just tucked them up into the sliders, but I will chain them back properly.
So now when I go for a drive on a wet bitumen road it won't look like I've been mud bashing for a weekend...

So I thought while I'm at it, I'll replace the two bushes and the spring in the top of the box and chuck a noo boot on there. Now I have to wait until the lower boot arrives. My car is only sitting here and collecting dust, I got time. Lol.
Done a little, more, rewiring too. I can't get to the pax side as the troll is parked too close to the garage wall on that side and there's a birds nest on the floor from when I just cut all the wire to the Aux and pulled them back through the firewall. Lol.
Fun times ahead.
Some new rubber boots should cut some noise down also.
I did that, makes a difference to be able to drive without the nausea inducing hot oil & exhust smells in the cab.Quote:

The top hole in the boot is maybe 15mm and the shaft of the stick is maybe 30mm. I tried pulling it over the stick, looked like it was going to tear. So I thought go from the bottom. No go there. Above the ball on the stick is the plastic hold down ring which can't be removed unless you separate the two halfs of the gear stick. So out came the silicone spray, coated the top section of the stick and gave a quick yank and the bloody boot just slid down real quick.Quote:

I'm wondering if my hot oil smell was coming from the torn boots or because I have the compressor for the air locker under the pax seat. I can't see it being the air locker though as there is a solenoid in the compressor to shut off the air supply....
Mate. Undo the stick knobs..then will slide over easy...Quote:
