So where is it - you were supposed to get it today
In my driveway - just where it should be :)
They rang just before lunch to say they couldn't get the flatdeck - so I borrowed Toad's trailer and went and picked it up.
By the time I got home with it, Toad and Mrs Toad were there and gave it a good looking over.

Looks the goods - I would leave the Sunraysias.
It is and it does - fairly well. Thanks.Quote:

I think I already have a buyer for the Sunraysias.
BTW, there is a Nissan (?) 5-speed box bolted on behind that engine so I don't think the adapter plate will be much use to you.Quote:

I have never given it any thought before but having now seen it....
Those domed bonnets fill with water when it rains!
I have a bird bath on my bonnet!
Doh - drill a hole in it to let the water out.:o
The dished Deluxe bonnet were only fitted to vehicles with 7.50 16 wheels and tyres (mainly 109) to reduce the visual obstruction of the tyre sitting right in front of you. The after-market Sunraysia rims made the obstruction worse.Quote:

Comparing the SW to the HT next to it, are the SW springs sagged or is it an effect of the smaller diameter Sunraysia's?
