SLO-030 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Wtf happened to the carb? can't get a metal flange, bolt it to the carb, bolt it to the broken bit ant use something like Loctite Metal Mend? Could get it welded but unsure about warpage and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJM85 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) whens roady and rego being applied? Hard to say yet. still need to straighten the diff cos its about 7mm out. get the door cards done, do the tyres, wheel alignment and exaust, get the dizzy regraphed and fix the carby's. No tellying how long that's going to take me. Wtf happened to the carb? can't get a metal flange, bolt it to the carb, bolt it to the broken bit ant use something like Loctite Metal Mend? Could get it welded but unsure about warpage and stuff. Yeah my brother accidentally over tightened it. It could have already been cracked but we're not sure. We are looking at getting it welded. Apparently there is a dude near here who can weld casted alloy. If not we'll go with the flange and glue. The dude at Adaptatune who rejettted them may have a spare body but there's no telling. All I know is it's a set back I can't afford to replace.... Type R Solex's don't exactly grow on trees Edited March 8, 2011 by GJM85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJM85 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Figured its time to update. Carby's are good. The dude who fixed them is a true artist and unwittingly turned out to be an aquaintance of my dad. It's a small world. The mains have been brought down from a 135 to 115 just to get it drivable. Dyno will sort the rest out. Lots fiddling been going on over the last month or so. Not a great deal of progress. Having ignition issues which has taken some time to narrow down to the electronic distributor. I still have an issue with the indicator regulator and tail lights. Otherwise just killing time and saving a dollar. I have the Cheviot mesh on for a short while. Just because they've got good tread. The superlites will be back on once they get a re-dress and some decent rubber. Otherwise here's a few pics for your viewing pleasure.

GJM85 Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 It's been a good 6 weeks since I've touched the ke20 and today I recieved a sudden burst of motivation after a big score at the wreckers today. I picked up and fitted new leads, door catches, boott and bonnet latches, a grill badge for the 25 grill, a full set of wheel nuts so i can get the superlites back on and a new ke36 passenger side engine mount. All for $50. I gave the old girl a wash because it was filty, I've fitted a few things up. Still need to get two tyres on the superlites for the front. Also got a Stewart & Warner tacho instead of the big flash Speco one. Today's real achievement was with the engine mount i found. It's offset a fair way in comparison to the standard. Fitting it was a complete bitch but the results were bitching. It moved the engine upwards about and inch so now the sump doesn't sit lower than the crossmember and towards the drivers side by about the same distance allowing me to fit all the ram tube and air socks on the side drafts. :dance: The only issue was with the fan now being in contact with the fan shroud, so it came out. The carbies sit a lot closer to level also. Tomorrow or Monday I want to fit the boot latch, centre console, get the door cards fitter and ready for trim, re-align the diff and try to set the caster on the front wheels. Maybe... I'm still chasing a fuel reg, pitman arm, a dizzy regraph and exaust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
