Thread: Gav's 101.

Want me to drive around again?
I'm thinking of seeing how it goes towing the trailer. I'm trying to push the cooling system to see if what we did on the weekend fixed it.

If it won't fit and you want to retain both the N70 sized batteries, you could always make a simple 25 x 25 angle frame and mount it on the chassis x member that's under the gearbox/floor cover.. Keeping any additional weight lower too.... That was one of my aims with having both mine beside the tank.

Good idea. It's going to be warm today, but I won't be home until late afternoon I don't think. I can let you know what sort of time I will be home a bit later on.

Pics as promised

Thanks for that - they are an N70 size, so I should be able to squeeze mine in.

Off to try it...

Just be careful with the terminal as in rough conditions the batteries could move a little and the terminals touch the panel behind the passenger seat - I have some insulating material glued to the panel as a precaution.

Good thought - thanks Gary. Things are tight it here. Ran out of time tonight to get both batteries in - got the new Bosch alternator charging the batteries, so I'm almost back to having it driveable.

Took a bit to get the belt size right, an 11A0760 was too long, and an 11A0735 was too short. Best I could do in between was an 11A0750. It is about 5mm too long, but works, it just leaves a close clearance to the chassis, but on running the enigine, a good rev of it actually moves the engine in the right direction, so it doesn't touch anything.

Just got the shifter bracket and gearbox to go, then I'm a shoe in for Corowa...

Lordy - if I make it, all I'm gunna do is sit under a tree, talk **** and drink for 4 days.... I need a break....

Sorry I didn't get back to you today Mick, only got home after 5.30 and completely forgot. Didn't get a chance to draw breath today.
