I have had bubbles via the glass gasket without noticeable fuel smell. Having said that, it is pretty obvious where they are coming from, and Elle seems to think I am immune to the smell of fumes.

Eddie is looking good at this distance Brendon. My only suggestion on the brakes is to see if you can drive them in to shape, possibly with the booster vacuum temporarily disconnected. HR brakes being self energising, and wider on the front are bound to be more efficient than FB EK.

The owner of the ute Mick, lives a few streets away. I was out in my ute and saw it drive past so followed it home. He has a restored sedan as well. Mick runs a mechanical workshop from home and is active in the 48-FJ club. The editor of their excellent quarterly magazine Rob Seidel, also lives ...

Thanks to Mitch for the photos. I think the weather would have been a big factor on the lower attendance, though it didn’t seem to put the Humpys off.

Great to see David and Bill debut their cars.

Neil, I would just fill the tank with molasses 1 : water 10. Leave a week and rinse. I haven’t done this myself. You’d have an account at the local fodder store, I reckon. Otherwise a kilogram of citric crystal and fill her up.

Hey Labrat,
The dial came in the mail yesterday. Thank you very much. I will pass it on to my mate. It is for his wagon.
Cheers,

Definitely need the spacers. No more clunking. No vibrations. Definitely tracks better at 100kmh now. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250115/828f272eb189ae3eb3ad1e298f049249.jpg
Sits nicer too. Slight rubbing inside passenger rear wheel on articulated right turns. Driver side less so. Just ...

Reinstalled spacers and torqued to 35ft lb.

I machined out the locating hole in the rubber a bit and swapped them to above the blocks. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250114/c1f259be102712a420c9d5e2deb3f65a.jpg
Quick test drive, clunking on shifting up and down between first and second had returned. Time for another look underneath and ...

Thanks. I did wonder about that. It would explain the clunking and eliminate the need for the spacers. My concern was that the top of the block won’t locate in the rubber. Tomorrow is another day.
