What a spectacular photo! Nice one Tony!

Would these go onto 10x15's???
If not then 12x15" 8 spokes are readily available in the states. You may need to import a set yourself, but last time I looked they were only about $50 each!

Think Paul Whiteman was doing braided hoses to whatever length/thread/fitting you required. IIRC prices were very reasonable to boot!

Les,
You want one of those wizzy speedglas helmets!!!
Looks to me like you've got too low a current, or wire speed too high or both. Try winding the amps up to improve the penetration.

theres a hole on the under side of a dizzy to let moisture out (also lets water in) u could run a breather to it
i'v seen them being fed into the snorkel so that any moisture is sucked out
I did that one mine - it made absolutely no difference whatsoever!
I took the entire dizzy out, dunked it in the kitchen sink under water and attached an air pump from my fish tank to a pipe that was drilled into the dizzy cap. I then sealed up with silicone all the holes in the entire thing (as evidenced by bubbles coming out underwater). I had two pipe into it - one going inside the cab (so drawing warm dry air) and one to vaccuum on the manifold. A plastic shroud made from an old lemondae bottle, new cap, leds etc etc etc and it was always absolutely hopeless in the wet!
I fitted EDIS in the end and it will now litterally run underwater! Plus if you manage to stall it in the water, it'll re-start first turn of the key too!!
EDIS is the way to go IMHO!

Currently I have 750 x16 General SAG's. I want to change the tyres to a radial size, Probably Grabber AT2.
What is the equivalent radial size?
ooooh I used to have them!!! They were feckin lethal in the wet!!!!!
Anyway what he said - 235/85

Les,
Who made the chassis and was it any agro to get without a rear x member? I need to re-chassis my series and was thinking about getting something similar so I can add my own rear winch x-member!
Cheers

Thanks for that Ian - very useful!
One for the tech archives Mr Moderator?

1/8" BSP is what mopst engines use.
However the V8 being american doesnt! As rob says 1/2" UNF is the correct size if you're using the origional oil filter housing. The one on my remote kit for example is back to the BSP sizing again!
Cheers

IIRC 7psi.

Depends what size tyres are you running?

I've got a factory 300tdi auto softdash classic.
Its fine! Granted its not the quickest motor in the world, and a V8 is a hell of alot quicker, but it does over 25mpg!
Acceleration to about 60mph is fairly spritely, but it runs out of steam above here and takes an age to get to 80, although it'll cruise happily at 80, it does tend to slow down a bit uphill. But then its as aerodynamic as a portacabin, and probably wieghs 2 tonnes!

Try lifting and crane in gloucester.
Last one I bought for a Fairey 5000 was 36m of 11mm cable with a swivelly type hook. I think it was about £35 and delviery was about a tenner.

Have to say i've tried all sorts of things and the best I've so far found is the standard 90 horn cos it doenst seem to mind mud too much and is reasonably loud!
I had a pair of horns off a mentego which come on a nice ickle bracket on there before, but they kept dieing cos of the mud!

Dont you start! You fiat 500 destroyer you!

Correction - you used to run this set up until you drove my series! Shortly afterwards the disk cutter came out!

Doesnt surprise me..........

:-).......I nearly sideswiped a fiesta on the M27 yesterday for the same reason! Tonk was in the passenger seat panicing and I couldnt even see matey in the fiesta!
OOoooooops!
Rangie wing mirrors are cr@p!
Jon
-
Yeah you need an early 110 one. You need to fit the entire pedal box. Series dual circuit master will bolt up, but you'll need to trim the inner wing.
Dont try the larger diamter later defender one, as although it'll fit the bulkhead you'll find the bonnet wont shut!

there used to ba an autoitalia place in ringwood that done performance parts for 500's 126's etc, bout 70 quid for the system, fitted very well, that was a long time ago though.
to answer your question, i guess if the box part is properly mounted to take its weight then flexi could be used, i dont know about balancing the back pressure on the pots though. i guess it wouldn't make much difference.
usual disclaimer applies
Why do i get the worrying feeling that you used to own one of these???
-
try re-tapping it then.
-
Agree - I've had terrible trouble with front axle tramp destroying axle internals. Currently experimenting with different shocks to try and control it a bit more.

M8 coarse thread.
Les.
M8 course thread??????? Er I dont think so!!! You've been sniffing round oil burners for too long Les!
5/16" UNC is what you want - V8's are pretty much all UNC!
Cheers

Are you making a Didgeridoo
Nah - I reckon its going to be a new fashion in snorkle design!
That or he now needs an extra axle to support the weight of that rear winch mount!
