Great news! Saw your post on the KZN forum, got a little worried.

You got a little worried!!! Holy cow.... I didn't know where we would end up!!!

 

At the end.. all worked out great. I just had to jump through all the hoops they wanted and we got there in the end. Thanks to some awesome people I met along the way, I ended up keeping the original vin numbers which makes it a rare little beast here in Oz now...

 

Cheers

Hi all..

 

I got some carby stuff from Mini Spares today... I just had to tweek a few things so thought I would update some stuff while I was at it...

 

 

Has anyone used these new needle and seats?

 

 

I thought I would replace the floats and fit a new set of seats in.... fitted everything and started it up and fuel just poured from the overflow vents!! I also discovered I have two different lids on my carbs so one wouldn't work at all...

 

 

 

I ended up fitting the old floats and needle/seats back in... so all I ended up changing was the lid gaskets and put a metal fuel pipe on... Looking at it now... would have better to get 2 new complete lids and just screw them on.... oh well... another order I guess....

 

 

Cheers

Hi all...

 

Well... after messing around with the carbies last time, I got new carbie tops and boy... what a difference!! best 50 bucks I spent....

 

 

One of the front wheel bearings took a turn for the worse also... I replaced them both with Timken bearings and fitted new tapered collars... 

 

 

Not sure if this had something to do with its failure or if it was the result of it....

 

Anyway... all going great and putting some good fun miles on the clock....

 

Cheers

The little beast is still going great guns... both the Mrs and I drive it most days and its become a sight of happiness around town... lol...
