Well done, Neil. The doglegs and inner rear wheel arches are about my least favourite repair. You might almost be better off raiding a donor shell for the complete outer section from rear door shutline (where there's a factory seam) to the sill.

On "8" you'll be struggling to reach 4000.

Nope, set the switch to "4" instead.

Sell the alternator for a small fortune to the HKTG crowd as a genuine Monaro part . . .

Rob

Clay,

I think you'd want the specified 1/8" pedal free travel when adjusting the master cylinder pushrod. Any less, and the compensating port won't be uncovered . . .

I would love to have driven over and participated, but events conspired against me . . .
