Re: 253 info
Aussie motors show up in the weirdest of places (I once followed a HD Holden through the backstreets of Nairobi), but the UK is unusual. Any idea how the engine got there? The 253 and it's brother the 308 (sometimes derogatorily referred to as the "plastic" engine) share a lot of parts. Ba...

Re: Bonnet bird measurements
If you wanna get really funky, centimeters are also used to measure capacitance. 1cm = 0.000000000001113 farads.

Re: Nominations for improved cooling head gaskets - fourth round
A quick update. The good news: the gaskets have been manufactured, and have been posted to me by the supplier. Should arrive at my place via Aussie Post mid this week. All the packing plywood has been cut, instructions printed out and addresses labelled ready to go. The bad news: I’ve gone back to w...

Re: Bonnet bird measurements
. How about this - Which is bigger 13/17 or 16/21? 13/17 is a poofteenth of an inch bigger than 16/21. Wait till you find out there are both imperial and US gallons… :mrgreen: They are bonnet birds… or bonnet budgies…. there is a photo here somewhere of Mr Black doing a good imitation on the bonnet...
