I spose its a good thing it shit its self at home, as I was going to go to the AJD in Adelaide this weekend. So Anyone know the part number for the housing? form what I have been seeing around the place they are a bit hard to come by. God I hope not.

Tally Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 or I'm sure there is a place in whyalla that can weld it up, if there is a place that reconditions cylinder heads they should be able to fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdw003 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) I would do that, but I think mines completely stuffed. Its cracked all the way through from top to bottom Edited March 7, 2013 by mdw003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdw003 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Well went to the wrecker today, asked if he had what I needed and to my surprise he did! he just said, come in and dig through this box.... said box turned out to be an old crate full of jap thermostats. after 10 mins I had 2 ke30 ones :D So now I play the waiting game while the gasket goo dries. Heres a few random picks of it, forgive the overcast day. Oil catch can I put in today as well Not a lot of room between the shed and house lol lucky its a rolla :D And a random dash shot, I'm trying to find a better spot for the gauges... but column mount will do for now. Cheers :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdw003 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Can anyone recommend some front shocks I would be able to get? part numbers, brands etc. the old ones are a bit sad and we have shit roads here so riding low is taking its toll.
