When i did my clutch i removed the flywheel to be machined. In the back of the block there is a welch plug, mine was rusted through, so possibly coolant, but you would notice the level constantly dropping.

As a mechanic I have tried lots of gloves, latex, leather, synthetic leather etc. The best i have found so far are Black Ligtning

They are nice and strong, give good feel and feedback, they do not dry your hands out or get really sweaty when wearing them. I get mine from Repco.

Hope this helps.

If a missfire running rough, mabey the valves need adjusting, or one is burnt out.

I am in no way affiliated with this auction, just using the picture.

Hi,

The inlet is Bottom Passengers side and the out let is Top Drivers side. Pretty sure this is correct.

Never even heard of these before.

By the way I am in no way associated with this action just thought it was interesting.

Found these while looking through my parents photo's, taken at the Borderline Speedway in Mt Gambier. Mid 70's i think.



I think there is an FE FC 5th from the left.

Hi all.

Does anyone know if there is a not running clearance setting for the tappets? Am going to adjust mine on the weekend and if someone can inform me of the said clearance not running would be fantastic, otherwise i will attempt to do them running. Just being lazy i spose but you all know how it goes.

Thanks in advance,

Will

Unfortunately no we cant; the part owner is already the father in-law. The mother in-law will out live him by far (medical reasons thank you). Apparently no change to the registration details can be made except by will, but it was a bit of umming and arrring.  It does not bother me that it is in her name it just makes it harder for all the paperwork, as she has no interest in participating in a club. She is happy to join in her name and maybe one compulsory meet a year, but other than that. Anyway, time is one our side. We shall sit down and talk it all over.

Is there an info pack (SA) available to view or is it only via the web??

Will

Damn, alot more expensive than i'd ever thought they'd be. We will do everything we can to hold on to these plates. And I agree that the plates should be offered to the original owner/family first, then period specific car owners and the the general public. Either way it goes, like you said it's all bout the money to the government coffers. I could never imagine spending $15800 on number plates let alone $200 plus for personalised plates.  Thanks for the heads up Martin, i'm sure everyone is as suprised.

Will

Sorry NosFEratu, yeah slight misread on my part.
'
I have a friend that works in the department, might have to hit her up on some info from the horses mouth so to speak. About one and a half years ago we put a hold on the plates meaning they could not be reasigned and remained with the original owner then re-registered the FE about 9 months ago, still under mum inlaws name. So far so good.

Martin, we consulted a lawyer and they agreed that the plates needed to be in a will stating the number plates are to be bequest to a family member only, so to my wife it goes. Also we sat down and talked all about the terms and conditions on the car, being it will remain my wifes at all times and her brother was informed of these decisions and agreed. But once things are all said and done, who knows. Only time will tell and we shall take every step as it comes.

Will

Let me put it as nicely as I can in relation to your question about the wanker personalised plates........ never had one, never will have one - so - don't know and don't care! :D

I am not asking bout personalised plates in any way shape or form, these were issued to the car when purchased new.

Will

Before we originaly got the FE back on the road we filled out a form holding the plates to the vehicle for 5 years as they were luckily still available and the original (before the rules changed) owner (mother inlaw) was still alive. I will call in and see them and see what my options are, problem is even the clerks rarely know what the rules are and they end up making their own rules or just say NO to covr their asses. I guess, once it is off the road i'll do the same again, was only $100 for the 5 years so it's not to bad.

Just looked at the auction side of things as collecta mentioned. It is a sad site to see, 40 plates up for auction, 2nd May at the adelaide convention center. http://www.dtei.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0019/46027/Number_Plate_Auction_Catalogue.pdf


Will

Now that had crossed my mind JOD3AN, but i actually get along with her really well.

Thanks stinky, figured i'd ask here and see if anyone has been down this road before first. I will make a trip down to 'Service SA' with her and see whats what.

Thanks for the help guys.

Will

Hi all,

My FE still has the original all numbers plates, all rego'ed up and in SA. Can the Rego details including plate number be transfered to another party being me. The car is registered to my mother inlaw (not that it's a problem), and we were told that the only way to get the transfered across was by will. when we get round to joining will it be a hassle for paperwork and the likes if it stays in her name??

Thanks in advance for the answers.

Will

I am running Mobil 25w/60. But my poor grey is bit of an oil burner.
