Open centre diff in the HAMBster. Spins to the 60 foot mark most days depending on track prep.
Trying to upload a youtube clip to show how it goes and sounds but not having much luck.

Got the speedo and left indicators working. It was pretty much my previous fiddling enroute that buggered them in the first place.

I just went and had a quick gander at the show and shine in town. Very nice collection of both standard and modified examples. As an almost local ( you have to be here for several generations to classed as a local) I was very impressed with the devotion to their passion. To stand out in the drizzling rain and bloody cold wind while chamoising their pride and joy was fantastic.
I didn't take any photos as I'll leave that to those that know what they're doing.

Was great to meet you spanners! It was definitely a challenge early on. Blacky has posted a lot I’m sure. Quite an eclectic mix of cars. EK modified seemed to be by far the largest category patronised. The Grima family swell the numbers there. Greg’s is up there with them. Image

If you look on Facebook Steve Graham had quality shots of every car. Here is his shot of Elle’s bus. Image

Thanks for posting the photos. These seem to boost the enthusiasm when you tend to start slowing down on your own build. Looks like everyone had a great time. Regards Daz.

Managed to get over the range without snow chains. We did see one work vehicle on its roof off the side of the road, both front doors open.

That brought us to Adaminaby. Image
Then Cooma, and Flynn’s Wreckers. Image
There were a couple of dozen or so FB EKs, other Holdens, and cars of interest. No HKTG but a few HQZ and commodore. Image

Very good driver side subframe cut.

Looks cold up in them hills Clay.

Definitely heater country. Is that the wrecking yard where you have to pay to enter / walk around? I think someone told me it is (or was) bigger than Dudley’s wrecking yard?

Safe travels.
