ROTTI'S VAN - BOOHAG

[Rotti]

been away from the pc,
1. i downloaded the free windows 10 & it just wiped the crap out of the laptop...
2. ive been busy moving out of the shop & getting the beddy home!!
I found an old school style mechanic/electrician, who actually enjoys older cars, easy to deal with & fairly priced
shaun wallace
FBD-far beyond driven mobile mechanical
0411 391 132
based on the gold coast
(check out his facebook page)
this guy worked with me side by side for a couple of weeks of late nights to get the old girl home
Shes not ENTIRELY drivable just yet. The chev 12 bolt diff needs wheel cylinders, sump gasket is leeking like a siev, & just haveto get the 2 elec pumps & elec fan in sync.
I had to move out of my shed as the landlord was playing funny buggers, so the interior isnt decked out & wont be for a while!
I will also haveto sort the brake booster to suit the hq v8 calipers etc, can i get the original bored out? as i think that would ultimately be easier?
anyways, shes home & ill put up some pics soon,

if you have removed drum brakes and fitted discs, you need to undo master cylinder fluid supply pipe for front brakes and remove small spring and nylon slow return valve. then re attach pipe.

cheers for that john, so is that all i will need to do to make the discs a lil bit more responsive? i dont need to muck around finding a bigger booster etc?.....cheers!

Been a bit busy...organised rear wheel cylinders for the 12 bolt camaro diff, new brake lines, today, sump gasket, crap thats a shitty job....but done now.
Now just got to figure what i havent done right with the twin elec water pump, it got a bit warm on the drive home & froze the lpg.....
I fit up the davies craig elec water pump system with the added auxillary pump to feed the lpg constantly, i might even just have the thing around the wrong way yet?....
anyway back to it....

I had a VP on gas once and the LPG froze cos there was no coolant going into the converter (the heater tap had shagged itself)... Easter and away from home...not a happy camper!!
