Brackets done , remade the pump one out of 4mm aluminium as the 1.2mm galv was a bit flimsy

I'm stealing that ......

If those hinges are no good mate we can grab the ones off the other wagon ????

Thanks for the offer Trev but the old tart still goes OK , just need to keep the oil up to it - it’s only been like this for about a year- I probably should do something about fixing it

How old was that fuel line ? Is it one of the ones you replaced when the triples went on ??

Harv, you NEED to be at next years nats with this thing, its going to be in N.S.W. somewhere I assume so a local one for you ????

Well done sir. Reminds me of the old stories of Bathurst, where the works teams would "borrow" parts from the general public paddock parking to keep the racers going. Cheers, Harv Thats how my wife and I got together, I was walking through the crowd at the speedway between heats as my car...

Finally got a night on the rattler - it’s not looking good for the Nationals now … [emoji45][emoji45] Started making a mount for the electric water pump, it needs to sit in here , it’s pretty tight there isn’t a lot of room https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240530/fc53717b601284b7fc4aec767a5c1673.j...

The QLD mob made it to Lightning Ridge today

Still no petrol at Mundrabilla according to one of the Nationals attendees who went through there today- so a stop for fuel at Madura is almost a necessity - just don't make it an overnight stop if you can help it .......

OOOOHHH LORDY -





............ that makes my pants tighten

You coming through Esperance ? Which way you heading home ?
