G'day Folks

A BIG thank you to all who wished me well

Now I will tell you what happened I took it down the road at about 7.30pm to warm it up and road test it for the Caboolture Swap Meet and Display on Sat 21st, as I was heading home up our semi-rural road,the bonnet flew up,(catch failure??) I lost vision,braked and pulled left,to far Oops! down the table drain(about a metre deep) did a pirroutte and flopped down on the roof/canopy I crawled out the rear and through the ripped canopy,mumbling '****" clambered up the table drain side and then exclaimed "Bugger" the neighbour (3 doors down)came out and helped me over to their patio,she called the Ambo,somebody else called the Plods,I called my wife and she walked the 150 metres down to me,I took the Ambulance option and had a bumpy trip into Caboolture Hospt. my blood pressure was fluctuating,was released to go home about 11.45pm,a little bit bruised and with sore muscles and neck but otherwise OK

Hey Brian! all those years driving Stock Cars around Exhibition Speedway in the 50/60's clicked in but it was a wild 15 seconds it was certainly minute

Uncle Ho

Poor bugger my blood pressure would of been up too after that . I take it you will rebuild it as it was. Wouldn't be right otherwise .

Glad to hear you came out the other side OK Uncle, it is a pity about the Lightweight.

Cheers, Mick.

Yes, I will rebuild it

But it will have to wait until I have the funds and have finished doing my 2a LWB,I have done the motor(Timing Chain Etc.), just need the carby refitted, and re-do the brakes as 12+ months idle they will need a re-build,might even do a boosted dual circuit system using a Series 3 LWB system changing the guard top to suit,it will go a little way to help when used in modern traffic

cheers

G'day UncleHo,

Good to see you typing away and letting us know that your are relatively okay.

Is there a difference in shape between the 2A and the Series 3 mud guard? I am strictly Series 3 so that is the limit of my experience. I do know that with the Series 3 there is no difference in the guard top and the dual circuit system fits under the hood with no modifications needed.

I just adapted my diesel Baldrick from a non boosted to a boosted system using all Series 3 parts.

Kind Regards
Lionel

G'day Lonelgee

The top rear section of the guard has a small cutout giving space for the booster and M/cylinder and they have a slightly different pedal tower,it depends if I can source a pair of 6cylinder front brakes as they are 3inches wide, that would give me really good braking,for a drum braked vehicle,it all depends on available $$, but new radiator comes first

cheers

Came in late on this. Glad you're OK, UncleHo.
