I reckon if they are the only two issues you get your have done bloody well.  When you add up how many little details jobs you have done, getting one or two wrong is just part of the game. and to be expected.

Nice work. At least the delivered the new seat bar.

Nice mate, welcome to the forum .

Doesn’t hurt to run a tap in there by hand just to clean it all up.

Pretty sure mine are all the same.  M10x1 is very fine Cav, I think that’s the rear irs drive shaft bolts. I am thinking m10x1.5.

Now your talking, I have an irrational hate of Fords, but I have  soft spot for an XP/M two door, very cool!!

Bloody hell that years flown by!!

Wow already?

So last week a set of the correct hubcaps went for $1,200.  So yea nah, I mean first time I left it at Bunnings someone would nick them.  So bought a very nice set of full stainless dress rings, I think they set if off nicely.  Been driving it a bit this week end working on the shed, so cool to drive love it.

You are really moving the build along now, looks like you are pretty much over the hump of the hard stuff?

You should have Cav!!  Be great actually meet you one day in person.

Thanks, IJ, I assume it just basically goes in the line, does it matter if its in the feed or return?  Maybe because of the pressure it needs to be the return?

What?  You mean there is no off the shelf solution for an E36 with 600+HP mid-mounted LS, that’s being built for dirt and tarmac events.  Go figure

Just curious IJ, is it a specific kind of steel, and what sort of heat treatment process is it?

If I remember engineering correctly the torsional stiffness of a bar is proportional to the 4th power of its diameter.  So twice the diameter is 16 times stiffer. That’s why very small increments in diameter change like 1 or 2mm make a big difference…[Read more]

Yea baby, that’s the shed up    Bathurst party in it next weekend, then the slab gets done.  Bloody stoked with it.

No cooler at the moment IJ, I have one, just never fitted it.  It was down a little on fluid, topped it up, and was perfect on the way home.  So that maybe shows its OK but marginal so def fitting the cooler is on the list.  Still not sure about this slight weirdness in the rear, might take it to Gawler Mechanical so they can put it on their 4 po…[Read more]

Yea I admit it, I chuckled

Could be, it was new, but might be what the issue is.

Daily duties today in the Senator, the engine started ran like a dream.  A couple of gremlins to eventually sort though.  I ran the fuel pump control down a little manually and that’s sorted that.  So that’s just a simple case of mounting the rocker switch that toggles between the two settings up in the cabin.  That will do for now.  But the powe…[Read more]
