Hi mate, the GA-GD Gallant M Cylinders.......... I take it they are twin circuit but are they a straight bolt up and the outlets do they allow for twin side drafts? Cheers Paul.

Hi mate, as far as mounts go, mine are just cut and modded standard 2t mounts. They look pretty agricultural but have done 3 seasons of racing without any probs. And for brake booster, I use a VH44 booster and a Datsun 1600 master cylinder. With the booster remotely mounted you have room to run twin side draft carbies.

Thanks man. I have got it all worked out,

I have watched the rally vidios and thought it was time for a hill climb one.

thanks mate. On the front was there much you had to do to bolt the discs to the hub or was it a straight bolt up. Like bolt holes line up etc. Thanks again Paul

I was wondering if anybody could post a pic of their twin weber to 2tg linkage setup. I am changing from 2t twin to 2tg twin but are having trouble getting enough travel of the cable to get full throttle. I can only get about 80%. Any help would be much appreciated. I have done a search but could not find the help i am looking for. Cheers. Paul.

A good weekends work No more vent. No more filler flap. Cutting out rust and welding in new pannels The trip home.

Hi mate, love your work. On the front brake upgrade, can you tell me firstly what master cylinder setup you are running & secondly the PCD of your front hubs. 110mm or 114.4? thanks and keep up the good work. :hmm:

My son took the car into his work for the weekend and he and his mate got stuck into it. Rust around the back window. Removing the filler and vent. And the other side.

Time for a few picks of the bobywork. Its coming on slowly. This is the car at the end of the 2009 seasonStart work.

Good to hear mate. Sorry I couldn't help you out with the valves.

Getting Closer

Have you machined a thread down the end of the castor rods? ..or will that interfere with the sway bar if you pull the strut forward? I suppse its no good getting too much front-end grip and having it oversteer everywhere! I diden't have to thread the caster rods because pushing out LCA's, shortens them anyway.I shortened the spacer between the rubbers to give a tighter fit and less movement. I am running 5 deg caster. As for oversteer, I LOVE oversteer. You can control oversteer with your right foot but understeer you are just a passenger.

Front and rear shocks are Koni adjustables and front springs are out of a Capri V6.

Started to re assemble the motor today

If this is in the wrong spot, feel free to move it.

Hi all. I thought it was about time to start a Rolla Club Technical Build. My name is Paul and my car is a 1971 ke20. It is a budget race car, but a lot of fun. We had a good year in2009 winning my class, [sports Sedan up to 1600cc] and my youngest son winning Junior Hill climb Champion, at our club [Gippsland Car Club]. So I decided to give the old car a bit of a tidy up. My son Dave is an apprentice panel beater, so his job is the body while I will concentrate on the mechanical side. The car ran a 2T for 2009 but having 3 X 2TG motors in the shed at home I thought that would be the way to go. That’s where the drama’s started. I chose a 2tgeu block and crank with an 8222 head, but could not find any pistons. Thanks to boganae71, a Rolla club member from S.A. had an excellent set of 30th oversize ones that he posted off to me. Next I had the block decked and bored to suit the pistons, a new set of rings, the crank machined and new bearings. I had the head, purchased from gearbOx, a R/C member, machined and a mild port job. Last year while I was in Tassy on a fishing trip, I picked up a set of big cams and a gasket set from ke20rolla, also a R/C member. I then did a dummy assembly to check piston to valve clearance and found not enough clearance between the pistons and exhaust valves. Pulled the whole thing apart again and sent the pistons away to get fly cut. Got the pistons back today so will start re assembly soon. While all this has been going on my son started on the bodywork. I will post more when I can.
