Thread: Gav's 101.

Correct Mick, all Wombat mud from the other weekend. It was quite clean under there at one stage. I'll give it a good tub before heading North.

Well, got a bit more done, and I thought it may be time to start a list of things I must do before heading North - time is running out.

Today I finally refitted the modified UHF and Terraphone. Works like a charm, exactly the way I wanted. I can now use the Mics on either headset to transmit throughout the UHF. I can also plug the ipad into the Terraphone to listen to some music. Not the best sound from the headsets, but it works.

So, things to do...

Must dos-
Engine & carby tune up.
Thorough mechanical going over.
Check fuel gauge accuracy.
Fit water pump, tap and sink.
Get and fit new generator to stove.
Fit solar panel regulator in trailer and tidy up trailer wiring.

Would be nice to get done...
Finish door switch wiring to internal lights.
Fit 12 volt outlets to 101 and trailer.
Fit brackets to hold extendable light.
Fit new fridge & battery tie downs in trailer.
Build mark II stove slide.
Get winch working.

So much to do, so little time...

Gee, that's no good. Hope he gets the gearbox sorted soon so he can sort out why Herc is behaving badly. Would love to see another 101 at Glenreagh.

don't worry, I have given strict instuctions to get "herc" sorted for Glenreagh We can't have a 101 all the way up from Vic by itself can we

Besides 'herc' tows the trailer with "connie-sue" on board.

And we can't have Glenreagh without an 80"

Well, will beautiful weather today, it has been all systems go to get the 'must do' list done. Got a fair bit done and a couple of hours daylight left. (Just having a beer and relaxing for 5 at the moment)

Must dos-
Engine & carby tune up.
Thorough mechanical going over. - Half done. Been over every nut and bolt under the car - steering, suspension, etc. Still got the brakes to check. I went over the engine carefully when I serviced it a couple of months back, so it only needs a tune up.
Check fuel gauge accuracy. - Done, but it isn't very accurate. I'll have 2 jerry cans of fuel with me anyway, so not overly worried.
Fit water pump, tap and sink. - Done.
Get and fit new generator to stove. - Ordered.
Fit solar panel regulator in trailer and tidy up trailer wiring.

I don't think I'll get anything from the second list done, but that's ok.

Not strictly 101 related, but it's about the trailer. Got it registered today, and it got a new set of rubber.

Just have to figure out how to mount the number plate now that will keep the constabulary happy. That will be the tricky bit. The original plate it mounted vertically with 3 rows of numbers and letters. Sort of like...

AA
11
AA

And that is about all the room I have as there is a stabiliser leg right next to that. I'll take some pics when it is light if anyone is interested. I'm not sure if it would be legal to make a similar plate with the new rego number on it, or I would get away with 2 rows - like if I cut the plate in half which I can't see being legal.

Ideas...?

If you want it all legal with the possibility of being told "no", send an enquiry off to Vicroads. Feedback & enquiries : VicRoads

Then you make your own using aluminium and adhesive vinyl.

If you don't want to risk being told "no", just make it.

I know a signwriter so it's possible to do a nice job.
