Brilliant read Harv - keep it coming. Glad you didn’t hand it off to a shop as now we all learn at the same time [emoji4]

Thanks so much Harv - you always seem to be able to help out with these things! Much appreciated and I’ll send you a message [emoji4]

Hi Guys By chance does anyone have one or two grey motor fuel pump brass outlet fitting they would be willing to sell? Mine won’t seat anymore as I think the threads are pretty much done. Thought I would ask here before resorting to greedybitz off eBay… Thanks! Dan https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2...

I think it’s all been well covered Harv. Agree entirely with Blacky - from my experience doing a shit load of wiring in my boat recently you really need a higher watt iron, and I am sure flux will help. I also bought one of those proper crimping tools - was so much easier and you get great results t...

You after a runner or a rebuilder ? I know of a runner for $500ish ? I get offered rebuilders all the time , should be able to get one of those next time , usual going rate is $50-100 Hey Blacky I am waiting to see how the next few weeks pan out before I decide how much surplus cash I have. A runne...

Having a running spare is not a bad idea. When things go pear-shaped with the road car, you have an engine (or working parts) ready to swap in. You can then chase the parts at your leisure.

Guys, I am toying with the idea of getting a complete grey motor to put on an engine stand. I want to take the time to show my little guy as he gets older (he’s only turning 4) the basics of what makes an old Holden tick. Probably good for me to practice tearing down and reassembling again as well. ...

Harv I am sorry to read about this but thank goodness your daughter is safe.

The stainless repair guru may be this guy.

Are there any identifying numbers on it?

What is the external diameter and slip length?

Hi Greg It might be salvageable, but as it turned out my repaired one is holding up a-ok and wasn’t the problem. There must be plenty out there though. They key is identifying them, which is why I kept this one. The info in this thread should also be useful for others who don’t have one presently! C...

This is great Rosco - keep it coming [emoji1303]

Apologies guys. Here’s a couple of photos. Crap everywhere since the move!
