G'day everyone,.....
Well I got it home by removing the radiator cap so the system could not pressurise and force water out the hole.
I stopped several times on the 360+ klm one way trip home to check the coolant level, I only put 2ltrs of water in it at the last stop.
The temp only just...

G'day everyone,....
Hey Aussiecowboy, I'll be going out north of Charlton-Wycheproof tomorrow pretty much west of kerang.
Can't wait till you get that final hurdle out of the way then maybe we can take the toys out to play.
After all the work you've done you deserve some playtime.
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
Congratulations on getting the goat running after all your work.
I bet it was a fantastic feeling to get to drive it with confidence, are you going to put 'club' plates on it as its an historic vehicle?
I hope you take some video of the goat for us.

G'day everyone,.....
You need a gauge that reads up to 120lb to match the sender unit or replace the sender unit with a 60lb marked to match your gauge.

You can also check the condition of your oil, if its at the end of its life when t get hot it thins out too...
G'day everyone,....
Sounds like a job well done!
At least you have the satisfaction of knowing that portion of your Deuce is sorted out and working.

Aussie.
G'day everyone,.....

I need to replace mine as well, that acidic wash AQUIS used to wash my Deuce seems to have dissolved a lot of mine.
Aussie.
G'day everyone,...

I find the driving light a little low focused but I love the high beam on the...
G'day everyone,....
I collected 2 sets of new headlights I bought for my Deuce quite a few months ago, they finally got here!
I'll have to get the H4 globe conversion set for it next.
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
So what did you use to lubricate the cable?
Used engine oil perhaps?
After looking at your first pic it looks like your using some kind of cable grease,...?
Aussie.
