Tonight I got the phone holder mounted up - made a couple of plates out of leftover bits that didn’t look like an aerial bracket. Removed the ash tray and knocked up one for each side of the hole, welded a bolt onto the bottom one and used the top one to sandwich the dash then cut the bum out of the ...

Tonight’s mission - make an aerial mount for a UHF radio I am installing.. wanted it out of sight while driving so it went in the back of the tray. Was going to mount it behind the passengers head but my CDO dictated it had to be in the centre just to make it harder seeing as there is a press stud ...

I would think a 202 and trimatic would only be around 100kg lighter than an LS with a 4l60E, 2" lifted springs would be a bit of overkill I think ?

I don't , that would entail dropping the sump or pulling the engine

Gonna drop the oil again tomorrow and buy some fresh oil and change it out - the bottle I used was in the shed and already open so maybe the young bloke did something funky with it

Greg

Yeah mate, took longer to get the water out and mop the floor afterwards than it did to wash the ute
