Gemini booster and XA/XB master works. Needs: a) the correct booster (there are several different Gemini boosters). b) the pushrod lengthened to preload correctly. c) some firewall holes elongated, d) brake lines run with some degree of finess to avoid hitting the FB/EK bonnet hinges.

Rusty,

The FB windshield washer blocks you have should have the brass pipes pressed in - the grubscrews are only there so that the blocks can be used left or right (i.e. you are right, it is a cross-drilling).

Chopped, SUs generally run merrily at 1½-3½ psi inlet pressure, and overflow around 5 psi. Your stock grey/red glass bowl fuel pump should be running 4½ psi max. The blue motor "steel can" pumps run a poofteenth less (~3.9psi). Any form of aftermarket electric pump on an SU (or a Stromberg...

Most of the older looms I have worked with have been OK in the main part of the loom, but pretty feral at the ends of wires - loose or missing connectors, frayed or cracked insulation. There's going to be a bit or work making an old loom into something serviceable, plus quite some time in understand...

Yep - double checked mine: 262mm from uppermost surface of U-shaped dash bracket to the visible joint between the indicator mechanism and the steering wheel (distance includes both honey pot and indicator mechanism).

Ok.... I've resisted as long as I can, but Fingers post means I can't hold it any longer. I lay claim to having a EK with a genuine Canadian block :shock: : http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad136/V8EKwagon/DSC02210.jpg GM 327ci, built by General Motors Chevrolet, manufactured in St Catherines, Ont...

I'm putting this info here because at the moment it is in the For Sale/Wanted area and may dissapear over time. Two trails being hunted down for sources of fibreglass panels: a) Jeff Hislop (once had fibreglass panels for a drag car and may be getting rid of some new old stock), and b) Rod Andrews R...

Sweeeeet!!!!!!!!

Thanks Boppo, Stanley and Mick for pulling the fibreglass trail together... very much appreciated.

Itching now to see what prices look like

Cheers,
Harv.

I'm guessing theres quite a few of us interested in fibreglass panels or the moulds to make them. Wouldn't want to overhelm Jeff Hislop though... Stanley or Mick, would you mind making a call please and seeing what Jeff would be willing to part with?

Cheers,

Stewart, Gotta laugh... kitchen table :ebiggrin: :lol: . I've given up on the number of new shirts I own that have grease on them (...even have a pair of dress shoes with epoxy enamel overspray). I tried the Magic Erasers after Matty Martin had luck with them. Did the FB door trims over, but couldn'...

Hmmm... it will be touch and go wether you end up pulling the colour out of the trim... slowly, gently, start in a small spot at an edge. If it goes wrong, you can always respray them. a) handcleaner (go gently if it has pumice in it), b) prepsol (wax and grease remover)... tougher than handcleaner,...

From what I understand, sizing is taken from the the manifold side throat (intake side is different ). There should also be a tag under a screw on the float bowl with the letters AUD and then three numerals, corresponding to the vehicle it came out of. SU carburettors were supplied in several throat...
