I don't think so. The only stainless braided hoses with a black nitrile inner that they do is 100 Series. The 480 series is nylon inner, the 200 Series and SF Lite are teflon inner. My stuff is definitely a black inner.

Orright, I am clearly doing something wrong in making these hoses up. For once, I read the destructions first and I'm am following Speedflow's destructions to a tee. Speedlfow 100 series assembly instructions.png I bought -6, -8 and -10 hose. Started with the -8 stuff. Hose had been cut by Speedflow...

A long time ago I had a weathershield almost exactly like yours, sold to me locally by a bloke who swore it was FB/EK. It was not. I tried for a long time to identify it... measured a lot of early Holden windows at car shows etc but could not find a fit. Can't remember if I sold it or accidently bro...

Yep - more likely to be seen on an old grey (or Pug) motor than a V8. Will touch base with Brian Darby and see if he knows of anyone.

The fittings arrived to run the parallel pills in order to tame the PG150C-0 pump that I have:





It will work, but looks like something out of Frankenstein's lab... makes my teeth hurt just looking at it. An "00" pump would be a lot neater.

A little more squeeze, as the forged slugs have a little lump. About 9.5:1... then some breathing from the Norman

Sounds like you are doing the right things. It is easier to mark the harmonic balancer, but you can still do the same thing with the timing light on the flywheel. It's just the angle is a bit harder on your back. Sounds like you have marked the flywheel, or cleaned it. If you can see the UC mark, an...

Thanks. Willing to trade more than a few adult cordials for an 00 pump if I can lay hands on one.

I've got a small mountain of Enderle 80A pumps, but they are even bigger still... way too big for anything I will ever do.

I'm looking to buy a Hilborn PG150 pump, in the "00" scale (sometimes referred to as a PG150-00 or a #00 pump). Not overly fussed if it is a PG150A, PG150B or PG150C. I have a PG150-0 pump but it is significantly larger than what I need. I can tame it down, but would prefer a 00 pump if I ...

Can't weld, but I know my way around a carby-retta. Glad you got it sorted.

One of these days I'll publish the next version of that Stromberg Guide. I've got all the info to update it to include the WWs, but never seem to get around to finishing it.

Back when comedy was hilarious. Not sure how I would explain Bongo to the kids now though.

My memory is similar to Blacky's - they look something like this:

Yes, they are serviceable... kind of. From memory, someone here (I thought it was Clay, but apparently not) pulled one apart by drilling out rivets and cleaning... can't remember where that post is on the forum though. They are also available new from Rare Spares. https://www.rarespares.net.au/rares...
