Looking good Scott,

You would never know that was a CR from that angle.

Looking forward to when our prices here catch up with the UK!

Cheers,

Mike.

Finished installing an Accuspark electronic ignition on my 2A FFT. Started a bit over a week ago and had it done in a couple of hours. However i could hear a ticking noise which was the rotor hitting the sensor. Turned out the rotor was not the original and today I put the correct one in - it all worked fine. Set  timing, checked the idle revs and checked combustion analysis. According to that the performance had improved.

When i had problems with the rotor i got great support from Steve at robroyhistoricgarage.com.au.

Took it for a test drive and all went well. No more points to worry about!

Gunna make me one of those signs, I've got some 3mm checker plate that I used to shoot in a .223, it's got some tight groupings through it - might use that, should look pretty cool

cheers

Hi all,

Scott, the bullet riddled signs will look pretty cool given your vehicles are veterans , my shortie hasn't seen active service so a bullet hole in the sign could only have been an unauthorised discharge.

Thanks for the complement Mike. Yes they aren't too bad.

That Inter Mick was the one that looked pretty good when he picked her up and he has spent another 10k to get it road worthy.  He just replaced the timber seating so she looks as good inside as out. When you climb in her you'd think you were just picking it up from the vehicle pool. The cabin interior is perfect - new steering wheel really sets her off . She really is a great truck and the bloke has another one just coming out of a rebuild.

Cheers,


Mick
