November club run - spanner day

[Blacky]

Next Sunday November 16 at the Holden Hospital kids, kick off at 9A.M.

Got a couple of jobs lined up already, one member has a 4 speed in her EK and she wants to convert back to 3 on the tree - bloody restorers

Fitting a front sway bar to another members EK and yet another EK has dragging brakes........

Seems FB's are far more reliable

We had a very productive day today
First cab off the rank was Micks EK - a new front sway bar and gearbox output shaft seal sorted him out.


Then Stoney wagon got some new fuel filters and some grease - ready for Stanthorpe now he reckons

Then it was Nigel’s turn - a diff change was in order for his FB while we sorted out the brakes on Dons EK


Then it was time for lunch

After lunch it was another sway bar swap on Nigel’s rig and new front springs in Dons wagon - the old ones were just a bit buggered !!!

You got a fair bit done. I remember that Tuscany Yellow EK and talking to Don at Bunbury. Those chromies, envy. Nigel’s car is a ripper too with the Tasmans. Stoneys wagon of course is a standout. Great stuff.

Great initiative Blacky,

You got the room and goods there, what a great way to keep the old girls running and owners interested.

That to me me is a fun day.

Yeah its especially handy for people like Don , he has had his wagon for over 30 years , the rear brake adjusters were siezed solid and the handbrake cables were pretty sticky - he was trying to pay to have it done and we had to argue with him that its all free

Luckily I had a brand new set of standard height front springs in the shed to replace his - we have christened his wagon Adolf now because it leaned so far to the right
