Anyone use one of these or know someone who has??

Thinking about one for the 2 door - either this or a Rodtech , trying to find someone who has actually installed one and driven the car with one to see what problems they had with them.

Re: Oops I did it again…

Got bored the other day and pulled the 327 down to see why it had no compression on a couple of pots -

Re: front brake upgrade: semi-huck to duo-servo

Part 1 complete - set of reasonably good condition brakes with uprights and steering arms sourced. Might be time to knock up a molasses tank

Re: front brake upgrade: semi-huck to duo-servo

Got a lead on a set of brakes and stub axles on an EH wreck over here for a bottle of Wild Turkey - going to check them out Friday. Plan will be to unbolt the whole shebang from upper and lower wishbones and get all the bits in one go.

Watch this space.

Re: front brake upgrade: semi-huck to duo-servo

I have been asking around over here for a set of HD king pin brakes, stubs and steering arms but they are unobtanuim ..... which is hardly surprising.

Guessing EH stuff would be considerably easier to source which is what led to the question regarding energy and cost expended versus benefit ...

Re: front brake upgrade: semi-huck to duo-servo

We were only talking about this yesterday at our club meeting, the main topic of discussion was is it actually worth going to the trouble of doing it ? What sort of improvement are we expecting ???

That's why we are going - we did a day trip from Pt Lincoln a couple of years back to do an oyster tour - you couldn't get the smile off Shahni's face all day

Re: Elle’s 1960 FB 225 mild custom

I put one on my ute - didn't really make a huge difference - guess if the subframe was rusty or fatigued it might make more of an improvement ?

How many look like coming over, and can we convoy from Adelaide?
We have a club meeting on Saturday and will find out then - we are sending the ute to Melbourne in late May and spending 2 weeks getting from there to Temora via the coast to Sydney
