What did you do to your VR/VS today?

OK it's nothing like mine then.

 

[ephect]

finally found sent I've been losing water, found the radiator end tank had a spilt on the hidden side. Now replaced with an eBay alloy 3 row, shiny. Also swapped over the tensioner as it was angled and the belt was close to the edge.

1 word of advice, get a smaller but thicker o-ring and replace the standard one that comes in the kit. I lost a bit of coolant because the one in the kit didn't seal.

Mang mang bang.

Rear and mid exhaust mount, although the one that had been repaired with a cable tie looked stronger than the new ones. Still waiting for suspension parts.

Checked the clearances on new motor should go in next week or so.

Did the same job a few weeks ago. I got one of my local mechanic. It was round and it trimmed itself as I evenly bolted the heater fitting on. They have sealed OK, but i am keeping my eye on it. There is a thread somewhere that said the originals are round.

Changed rear upper arms. Front lower arms, tie rod ends, engine mounts and strut tops have arrived. Waiting on tension arm/chassis bushes. Might be busy next week, although the engine mounts will wait until a mechanic mate is off roster . Any one live around Innot Hot Springs and keen for a visit?

 

[harrop.senator]

New mounts , rocker cover seals , filter ,removed cleaned painted upper manifold.

Now just need to change rear main for sake of it fit flywheel clutch and box.

I finally put the oil pressure gauge in the dash. I have yet to connect to the sender.
I didn't want to destroy the original dash so just got an old speed alert from the wrecker
and modified it to fit the gauge in.

Must be a shallow backed unit?
I looked at putting my oil pressure gauge there, but would have hit the steel support panel behind dash at that point, or held the gauge out way too far.
