^^^^^^^ a couple of months!!!! looks like years!!! yeah, a great place to leave a seat ... outside on the grass letting ants build nests in it, letting it rust away, letting a wasp nest in there...... 😁 ...it's all good bloke, nothing throws me anymore, not even smashing a brand new laminated front windscreen. I just go silent for 5 mins walk to my bar fridge and drink heavily. Then I move on 👍
went and saw David the trimmer today, much better answer and more positive... $550 total but proll not before xmas... damn
its raining......
EDITAMONDO- where is the best place to pick up a linkage kit for my webers?......and no, I don't have the coin to buy gene berg linkage kit. I'm thinkin more like CB performance or bugpac...
>looks at the guy in the akubra hat
Glad to hear of a better result with Dave.
Only months from me ... maybe years before I got it 🙂
Keeping it real !
^^^ thanks for the link mate but I need the seats restuffed and resprung too, not just covers.
ummmmm tidied up all the wiring in the engine bay and starting to put on the chrome, indicators, rear lights.....
rip it yup and let it roll.........
anyone got a gennie/alt stand, decent gennie/altenator or passenger side door"DUO" latch, they don't want or want to sell.....
ohh yeah, layed the marine carpet down and got the edging on, looks a treat. Got some nice marine grade eyelets to tap into the long edges to use as tie down points.........
Why do I suddenly feel like going water-skiing???
Neat job
wait till I get the wading pool and sunlounge on the back, sipping white russians while tanning it up.... 😁
Hey Ian,,, mate,,, bro,,, fellow Yup-ster,,, how`s about you come around to my place & do the same thing to the back of my ute yeah???
Please?
i`ll supply the drinkies :-)
Nice looking, great job man
^^^^^ if you want mate, its hard to lay the stuff when you use contact glue, 2 people is the best to not get bubbles.
I drilled and tapped this arvo and the tie downs look shit hot!!
can you pick the odd one out in the pic? 😂
ohh and I would buy shares in cyberbond..... excellent product, been using it for years, loctite aint got shit on this stuff 🙅
had a good day today, got my seats.... got the headlights all sorted out. I love steel wool!!
went low end with a empi hex bar linkage kit (I can see Matt rolling his eyes now) and had to ditch the power winder window (wreckers want around $700 for a complete cut) so its just not going to happen, I'm seriously running out of cash, still need a few things done, blasting and p/coating bumpers, small parts, insurance, rego arghhhhhhhhh
where is santa when you need him

Cool Seats 👍
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ yeah the day after I spoke to david these seats came up so i felt bad but rang David and was happy thet he didn't buy the fabric for my seats... he was all cool about it so I'm just waiting on the vinyl for the door cards from him.
waiting on heads to arrive, it's now been 8 weeks to the day waiting for my heads to arrive. Not really happy with their turn around times.
Started the build on the donk, can't really go any further without heads so I'm sitting here waiting.... the ute is pretty much finished, just got the windscreen going on on Monday and i'll smash in the rear window Monday, treasure chest door goes on tomorrow, door cards go on Monday,dash is finally finished and all installed.
Mr Berry, do you think the gear stick is about 80mm too short?... I feel like I'm reaching down to shift.....
Since it's been close to 12 years of not working around a bus I need some help with a few things....
> what does the vacuum hose connect to from the brake booster, do I need a valve connected to the hose?
> I got a 40 IDF weber setup so is it best to run a 009 dizzy with vacuum or not?
> What the hell is this set up? (see attachment)... and what does it do?..... the hoses were attached to the valve covers. Should I keep this setup or just plug the holes in the valve covers.
thanks in advance ..... Binner
Its a breather. 2 hoses go to your valve cocers and the other one goes to your oil filler neck!!!! or maybe into another hole in your valve cover, so any oil blown up there can drain back into the motor.
The brake booster normally connect to the manifold on a type 4 motor - but you are running a type1?? So - dont know
Is it dual or single Weber??
Cheap answer is yes - a 009
Reckon that is part of a breather set up for crank case pressure
Futue te ipsum!!!
Booster needs a check valve and is run to the inlet manifold. With your duals, I normally plumb to ALL manifold runners.
The breather should be used seeing you have it and are building a performance engine ie. better than stock, as said, 1 hose to oil filler/breather, the other 2 to valve covers, the most important rule during instal is not to have ANY dips in the pipes for oil to gather, all hoses must have fall back to engine.
009 will be fine with your dual carbs, good heads and exhaust.

^^^^ thanks for the fast response guys, appreciate it a lot. So am I now going to drill and tap into either manifold for the brake vacuum?... does it matter where the location is on the manifold? does it matter where the check valve is located?.. should it be up nearer the booster unit and not near the engine?
Matthew, can you explain more about "plumbing to all manifold runners" please?
thanks again in advance .....😵💫
edit.... just fitted up the webers with a CB performance update kit and jet doctors....
Ian, all runners means each cylinders manifold, so you need min. two but pref 4, manifold runners drilled and tapped, using a tee piece or 3, you can plumb from the check valve to all 4 inlet manifolds. No real special location, normally towards the top, just make sure all the pipe work fits where you plan to drill for the fittings. Preferebly the check valve goes near the engine, on the tranny side of the tinware.

nice
drilled and tapped manifolds today,did the usual lil stress about drilling into my manifolds and having it all go pear shaped. Turned out pretty damn good I think.........
getting closer every day
Too easy mate.👍👍
Hope you have some velocity stacks to clamp those flimsy air filter bases down properly.

^^^^^yeah Mr Berry , I got stacks.. just a mock up there. I was getting a little excited and started to assemble then realised I still got to match port the heads when they arrive... 🤓
tinted the windows and put in the quarter windows today. Next is trying to sort out the hinge holes in the treasure chest, just noticed the fool before just sheared off the screws in the thread..... FAAAARK!!!!
anybody ever used those tap out tools or screw out tools ,,, whatever they are called......
excuse my dumbness but ive been running my booster without a checkvalve, do i really need 1?

^^^^ errrr yeah ... massive blowback!!!!!
Yes, a valve is necessary, it's to always pull vac only so essentially a better vacuum is produced and also to protect the booster diaphram incase of engine backfire.
