Probaly politically incorrect but who cares. Young paddy is sitting in a bar in New York having a quiet sup, the barman notices his drink is empty and comes over "your glass is empty" he says "would you like another" paddy looks at him with a look of bewilderment and replies "and what in Bejeez...

Charlie that reminds me about the story of the young bull. there was this young bull in a paddock with an older bull, and he trots over to the old fella and says , hey pop, i see there's a few new young heifers in the bottom paddock, why don't we run down and have one. the old bull tilts his...

Well it seems as though i'm down the toilet good and proper, i spoke to Leon yesterday and it seems i was just a patsy to fund and test his new beaut project trans, no warranty implied or given he says, we can send it back and he will carry on developing it to get it reliable, at our cost i take...

Trans problems all solved, Fran has offered me a trans he has surplus to requirements that will do the job admirally, and is also going to make an adaptor for me so it will bolt straight up, so the ole girl will live again, so that is a huge weight off my shoulders. so now i can get back to my...

Mate looking good i do like those calipers, have you got a part number for future reference. cheers John

Hi Randy, i too stand behind everything i do no questions, but in this case when i sold the car i took $20g off the price as the trans was an unknown quantity and i couldn't guarantee it, and now i'm doing my upmost to find a suitable replacement. So from my stand point i'm pretty peeved as i...

I agree whole heartedly mate the pinion needs to be a one piece shaft with a double taper roller bearing, as every schematic of a trans axle i can find has, with the pre load taken by a nut on the back end. unfortunately your right there too mate its a no win situation,, I'm personally down the...

Yeah mate that bottom shaft was a 2 piece affair with the rear section pressed on to carry that rear bearing, and it walked out, and stripped a couple of gears in the process, so it went back and a new bottom shaft was made in one piece, and thats failed again this time. so what do you do try...

I got the full story this morning as the box is now out and on the bench, pinion is shot to pieces, and not only did the preload nut come off the pinion end, the nut on the other end of the same shaft was finger tight when he pulled the back cover off, the bloody thing never had a chance of...

Not that I'm aware of mate, but i do have an option open that will, shall we say take care of business, just waiting for a few measurements etc to make sure it will fit. cheers John

Yeah your not wrong there Mac, it didnt feel right when it went back in and i did mention it to leon, and he said it should be good, but it only lasted a couple of warm up laps. mores the pity. back to the drawing board as they say. cheers John

Brett pulled a side cover off this morning and apart from a lot of pinion teeth lying on the bottom was this nut, but no sign of a lock tab. looks like as you suspected Mac the nut has wound loose and then all hell broke loose, literaly. John

I honestly dont know Jac, my first thought was the R&P was spinning in reverse, but not having seen any of it as yet i dont no for sure. Cheers John

Hi Jac, looks like crown wheel teeth apparently the diff is a Detroit locker. cheers John

Hi Russ that looks very nice mate, love the shift light idea. cheers John

a little bit of wheel spin i notice.

Hi Neil yeah it looks like the diff has destroyed itself as the drain plug is directly under it and the broken teeth look like diff teeth, luckily he was braking for the hair pin and going from 2nd back to 1st when it locked up so speed was moderate, but enough to spin him around, just lucky he...

Well the big day came for the Maccas debut at a historic street sprint meet, gear box came back from NZ all fixed so she was to be the star attraction of the meet and the gate prize for one lucky person was going to be a few hot laps in the ole girl. But once again big problems Brett went out...

While riding my Harley one day, I swerved to avoid hitting a skippy, [kangaroo] lost control and landed in a ditch, severely banging my head. Dazed and confused I crawled out of the ditch to the edge of the road when a shiny new car pulled up with a very beautiful woman who asked, "Are you...

oh dear, and they breed. god help us/
