iwontarolla Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 got my extractors yesterday thanks SLO-030 they look great one thing thou the flange in the middle isnt flush with the two out side ones. it will get pulled in though. i also have a problem with the head every hole has a heli-thread but they are done wrong. so going to redo them i guess then put studs in not use bolts.should get my carbie end of this week so should be running next weekend if all goes to plan. cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwontarolla Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 been busy lately. diff is all clean and back together ready to go in after giving it a coat of paint. cleaned it and all the bolts, u bolts and mounting plates and gave them all a paint. my carbie has arrived with the adapter plate. just need to do the helicoils again and go pick up some studs for the head then it will be moving again haven't update lately so kinda have a photo dump. ohh also have knocked out some small dents and what not no pics to have to show. bearings and collars of axle ready for new ones before brakes being cleaned after pressing the bearings on then collar. the collar proved to be a pain in the arse. it bent the tube and hardly moved so tried many different ways nothing. finally decided to mill a hole through two plates of 30mm thick still then do it that way, worked a treat. cleaned the diff center out then let it dry over night filled it with oil was smooth as has some play in it but don't think it will be that big a deal. assembled and cleaned ready to be painted new carbie and air filter should be running by the end of the week hopefully cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke20rolla Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Just out of interest is that air cleaner suited to the shape of the Weber carby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwontarolla Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I had a quick look at it the other day from what I can remember it does. I should probably check that. Why would that be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Bit of a bummer to hear about those extractors Chris. Just a word of caution about the Redline filters to suit 32/36 webers, they tend to crack around the bolts on the base plate. There's actually a note in the redline catalogue that mentions that they will crack when fitted to escort engines fitted with these carbs (seems to apply to all engines with the 32/36, as i have one sitting here, with a cracked base plate off my 4K) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwontarolla Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Diff is now fully done primed and painted. It's back in the car now there's quite abut of play in it I don't know if it's any thing to worry about but soon find out. Primed I think o like it matt black then gloss Gloss black All put together and painted Painted most things. I have a sway bar kit for the rear but I went to put it back together and I think the wedges are missing and the u bolts are bent it's a selby sway bar. I googled about them but found nothing can any one help mr with this SLO it shouldn't be a big deal they are top not h execpt that. Thanks for the warning about that. What does it take to put the orginal air cleaner back on the the 32/36 weber? Cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Use the gasket or base of the redline and trace the profile onto some 1.6-2mm mild, cut out and weld into the base of the stocker filter housing. Could do the same thing and strengthen up the redline one, depends what you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwontarolla Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 If I was to install the stock air filter is there and disadvantages to have it or doesn't it really matter to much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwontarolla Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 got alot done today. started off with cutting the hotbox of the inlet manifold. i then sand blasted it with a fine glass bead. pulled the studs out of it and had to make up some longer studs out of threaded rod. went from this to.. this. got the hack saw out and cut the heatbox off. grinded it wiht the dremel. come up pretty nice after a sand blast machined these up out of stainless steel for head studs test fitted the carbie on the manifold did all the helicoils in the head lock tighted the studs in. had to grind the flanges for the extractors not to bad though. going to wait for he lock tight to fully set then will be doing them right up and then putting the carbie on tomorrow. hopefully it will be running again tomorrow tune in soon for more updates cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan G Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 not sure. i saw it as a restriction so i just ported it with a die grinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwontarolla Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 i don't think I'm going to bother for now i think it would crate turbulence making the air move faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
