Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute

Last minute tuning for the trip to Echuca. Speedo was reading fast. Swapped the white 20 tooth cog for a pink 19 tooth. Oops reading even faster. Mate Rich had a green 21 tooth. Picked up from him today on site and installed this arvo. Speedo now spot on. Discovered while underneath the damn tappet ...

Re: Horn contacts

Yes was thinking you may be able to shorten it. Blacky will have a supply at some stage if all goes to plan and yours doesn't work.

Re: Dave's Orange Betty EK Sedan

Let me slither out into the yard snd check my couch cut.

I’m guessing the hole is for retaining the end of the stainless trim, but I’ve never owned a special, couch cut included.

Re: Horn contacts

My thoughts they look the right diameter but too long. Being tri 5 ups the odds of fitting though. And you only need one.

Re: Not the Nats diary 2023

Another blue ute....

I used to stay in that pub until I got sick of lugging gear up the stairs. Old school steam spas in each room.

Nice shot of the 275kV interconnector.

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute

I don't know if you are joshing me Stephen. I should take my trailer tyres more seriously rather than using up the worst of what I have on there. The trailer was only overloaded by around 500kg. Would have being doing 80kmh and it just made a bang and tilted over a bit. I wouldn't have tried it with...

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute

Got called out on roadside assist this morning. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230604/cddca3a308b6e36a5c610b01d0fc14f5.jpg Nearly made it home with a tonne of firewood in the 6x4. This thing has done some work. Bought it new in 1985. Hauled a good 15t of walling slate home from the quarry over t...

Re: Dave's Orange Betty EK Sedan

Great work Dave. Some say to seal the metal with 2k etch prior to filler.

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute

Re-measured driveline angles. Output shaft up 6deg, tailshaft down 1deg, pinion up 4deg. Unladen. With the rear wheels off the ground and springs fully extended the pinion points upward an additional 4deg relative to output shaft due to the geometry of the suspension.

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute

Looking forward to catching up briby. What I have done is adjust the pinion angle up 4degrees. Should still be 2deg down relative to output shaft.

Went for a shakedown and call in on Gledge. Smooth as silk at 55 - 65mph now and more.

Re: Not the Nats diary 2023

I haven't been in there though, like you, driven past a million times. Club has done a few runs there. Better try and outrun the rain coming and continue on to the Mount. Meningie, Coorong, southern ports highway is a nice drive. Pleasant coast towns, Robe, Beachport. Sent from my SM-G781B using Tap...
