G'day everyone,....
I don't mind tinkering with little jobs now and again but constant big jobs would get me down after a while.
Anyway, I finally got my Deuce fully assembled!
Now I have the winch cable back on the drum and now I have the cargo cover ON.
I will later today change out...
G'day everyone,....
Well a couple of days ago when I returned my Deuce to its protective storage I managed to get a nail in a tyre 30mtrs away from shelter.
So yesterday afternoon I got it back out so I can change out the flat with one of the spares I have, I also will take the time to repair...
G'day everyone,....
I didn't mention that the cooling system is weeping a little, I thought it might have been the heater but it look like its coming from the very front left corner somewhere.
Maybe a hose clamp need tightening, I am hoping.
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
Went and put my Deuce back into its storage and 30mtrs out a nail ran out and impaled itself into the right hand side rear tyre.
Second flat tyre since I got it, only 8 spares left not counting the one on the Deuce.
I'll have to get some new inner tubes later.
Aussie.
G'day everyone,...
Just renewed my car club membership for the Deuce and in 2 days will go pay for another years rego for the Deuce.
Also I just found a 1-2 inch hole in the J-pipe, will get some exhaust tape to patch it with until I can get another J-pipe.
:(
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
Got a few moments to unpack my gifts for my Deuce,...
Got a slave cable to jump start it if needed.
Also got a set of airlines for a trailer, for just in case,....
Also got a 'Ken-Tool' for the lug/wheel nuts,....
I then went and did a small job I have been...
G'day everyone,....
Funny, but that is just what I do.
I have found it very easy to change slow and using the double clutching method.
I can drive the work trucks all day as I do with 'racing changes' but the way these feel they just work smoother with the 'slower is smoother, smoother is...
G'day everyone,.....
Welcome from the land down under!
Whats the story behind your Deuce?
Where did you get it?
It looks in great condition.
What if any repairs dose it or do you think it needs?
What are your plans for it?
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
Funny thing is I have my Dot 5 go AWAL.
I keep filling up the remote reservoir but cannot find out where the fluid is going,....?
I can run the Deuce all day and not a drop will go missing yet if it sits for a week next time I cheak the fluid level it will have fallen...
G'day everyone,.....
I must apologise for my error above, I referred to the Dot 5 as 'synthetic' when I should have said "SILICONE".
Dot 5 IS a 100% Silicone brake fluid.
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
Sorry to have to break it to you but that 5.1 is NOT a synthetic, its a modified mineral dot4 designed to mimic Dot 5.
Its still just a Dot 4 and will absorb moisture.
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
Drone plinking eh?
Now there is a new national sport!
A reinvention of the old 'air force-navy' rivalry.
lol
I was thinking along the lines of running around a lake or on a river and shooting at old car bodys set up along the edge of the river/lake.
Aussie.
G'day everyone,.....
Yeah I guess you could use it like a 'Punt Gun' but I was thinking more for fun realy.
Or I guess there are Pirates out there,.... ;)
Aussie.
G'day everyone,.....
But wouldn't you just love for the Guns to be REAL!
That would be so much fun having a manned model boat with real operating main guns.
;)
Aussie.
G'day everyone,....
I used to catch snakes around the house when I was a teenager and for extra money used to take them to get milked for their venom. Ah,.. the good o'l days,...
