Re: Project 2.
During the development of the GTS 327s, rumour has it that driveshaft failures were frequent. I think it was Tony Roberts who was quoted as saying, "Quite exciting. Bits flying everywhere."

Re: FB Standard Wagon
Drew,
I admire your courage in opening up, on a forum no less.
Umm, who did your seats? The colour and texture of the vinyl is an exact match for my FCs' (note plural possessive) interiors.

Re: Dr Blacky attempts to perform an addagruntome
I recently installed a Merc rear seal in a fellow club member's FJ motor. Compared with the "gasket kit" replacement, it was easy-peasy. Much, much easier to cut. But I found I had to use the crankshaft to set the seal. My fault though. I cut the seal off nearly flush when using a seal set...

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute
. . . I would almost be inclined to check exhaust valves 1,3,5,6 for poor sealing - on the valve seat . . .

On "8" you'll be struggling to reach 4000.
Nope, set the switch to "4" instead.

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute
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 . . .

Re: Bonnet bird measurements
The tinfoil hat is sitting on a shelf in my lab, right next to the replica flux capacitor. Speaking of which, the self-capacitance of a 1-cm radius sphere is about a picofarad. Now, let me count the leading zeroes. Yep. Eleven. OK, then. It's a quirk of the centimetre-gram-second system of units tha...

Re: Ammo's Ute
I think an FE/FC rear bumper will bolt up to an EK ute, given the similarity in body shape. Whether the bumper brackets will clear the ute bodywork is another matter.
