Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute

[Errol62]

Brake pedal sorted. I should have unbolted the master from the firewall at the outset. Glovebox sorted. Running sweet at 11degrees initial. Stopped pinging for now.

See if I can get it to run at 82C by blocking off some radiator.

Good point, Stephen. My passenger will serve as the cup holder. I've got Fillipe from Ceduna to Bunbury, the Elle for the rest.

No thermostat Clay ?

82C thermostat Greg. STD 186 bore in a 179, with 3 core HR radiator. Usually runs cold.

Full throttle run up main Willunga hill road, 110kh all the way up. Temperature got to 86 and seemed to level off. Took a while to come back down to around 75, coasting down the old road. Ambient is around 12, so cut the blank down a bit more and will see how it goes.

They failed the driveway test...
I don't know........
They will need to be cut down if they stay. May just have to go to the ball naked.

I would like to put them on my ute but then you cant put them on a 2 post hoist ....

[Errol62]

I ended up deleting them.

I’m carrying two 14x6 reverse stocky as my spares. They will work front or back. So in the remote event that I get a fat on the trip, I can swap both to the affected axle and carry on regardless.

Also carrying spare axle, alternator, coil, distributor, fuel pump, leads, hoses, fan belt and water pump. My mate is a good talker. He talked me in to it. Doesn’t weigh much.
