    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.

    Nah - you need two strong men and a mule to turn the steering wheel with those tyres on it.

    It came with a set of standard rims so I'll paint them up and put some 750 x 16's or the modern day equivalent on it.

    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.

    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.

    Interestingly the standard bonnet as fitted to most Australian built vehicles support the wheel at the same height as the dished ones. The good thing is that they let the water run off, so it only pools in the dish of the actual wheel.

    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?

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
