Just done mine Don not easy with a lot of patience, didn't know about the tool so I just used a blunt 6mm screw driver. I put the joint at the bottom ,right or wrong I don't know but that's what I did as I thought it would look neater. I found I had to start 2 maybe 3 mm before centre as it walked t...

I read in your reply not to mount coil on top of alternator obviously there is reason for it and i was wandering what it was. Thanks in advance Ron

Thanks for the replies will look at ESM. The lcv is a complete rebuild and trying to put in most improvements I can, knees are still ok but lord knows what's ahead. I have replaced original master cylinder for a dual cylinder conversion kit sourced locally so installing booster was quite easy and it...

Hi guys, wanting to hook booster vacuum pipe into the manifold of a 1098, question is where is best position on the intake to drill the hole for the pipe connection. I have been told to keep it as far away from carby intake as possible so I was thinking to put it on the elbow between 1 & 2 Pisto...

Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it.

I have had it all in and tightened up ready to go and dismantled again checking to make sure I had it right which it was. It's an LCV so body was off and on again with all bolt holes matching up so chassis legs have to be in right position. While chassis was stripped he had it on a proper frame desi...

My apologies boc for not explaining properly but phill is correct, there is 10mm difference in length between eyebolt hole and rear cross member brace hence when lower arm is connected there is 10mm of spline not being used, and by putting a washer in tween the rear arm/ torsion bar and cross member...

Yes it is hard up against the eye bolt, I did think of replacingspring washer with loctite and putting a 3mm washer/spacer between u washer and chassis to gain that little bit more. You really have to force those tie road rubbers in by wedging back the lower arm.

Just had repairs done to front chassis legs by a competent panelbbeater and gone to put the torsion bars back on I notice one side the lower arm is covering all the spline and other side is covering 20 mm of spline. After measuring the rear anchoring bracket is forward by 10mm. Is 20mm of spline eno...

Thanks, will take that on board.

I am being told that the Austin sprite ribbed gear box will fit straight on to the 1098 giving a much better ratio spread in fact the casing is identical and that the internals are interchangeable. My diff is a 4.2 with standard wheels, bearing in mind the Sprite runs 13 inch wheels giving my ute a ...

Hi Don,I'm in trouble already! I have since had the top off and valves removed and yes plenty of sludge removed. I filled top with petrol with valves and bottom plug out, it just makes an occasional drip but working the arm up and down and petrol drips a lot quicker. Just for the experiment I tried ...

Yes done all that thinking may be the oil might go down on return stroke. I tried petrol knowing oil would be thick in its cold state but to no good.

Hi guys, I have removed front shockers off vehicle to change oil to straight 40. With bottom plug out and top plate off, when I put oil on top it doesn't run thru to bottom plug, I have rinsed it out with petrol to clean/ loosen gunk but to no avail. My question is, is there a port or chanel that is...
