Thread: JUMBUCK

This engine runs very cool and I have a toggle switch set up to turn on the fan if the gauge gets high.
However recently during some hill climbs I forgot to check the gauge and when I did it was close to 100C.
Decided to investigate a suitable switch and found this. Fuelmiser CFS52. Its a direct screw in replacement for the Normally Closed switch on top of the thermo housing but is Normally Open. It is set to close at 90C and open at 85C

Got a bit bogged down with the Royal so as I needed a tow hitch for Jumbuck I decided to convert an old tow drop plate I had lying around.
Cut a bit off, turned it around and drilled another four holes and thats that.

In time for the first day of summer Jumbuck covers up with an Undercover Covers Bikini.
I think it looks " cool " and it is

Hi keith,

We are back over your way in a few weeks again. We did drop in back in September in a little red hire car( if the neighbours said anything ) but you were away. I have found a MAP Capstan for Borumbah in Northgate and the Fairey overdrive rebuild is coming along but some parts are hard to get and I may have to make a new lay gear. Borumbah is staying home this trip and we are brining the Defender . We will be heading up the coast and onto Fraser Island so will catch up then if you will be home. Ps fitted new vintage spotties and today wire headlight protectors have a look on my thread.

Yes saw that. The old girl still looking good.
Give us a bell when you come over.
That house in town is still for sale. The one two down was passed in at $60.000. but is pretty rough.

I took the missus for a look in September. Will see what the New Year brings.

We must have gone to town shopping that day.
Next time.

The rear edge of the top seemed a bit slack so I fastened a couple of Footman Loops further out on the tub.
This tightened it up and I think looks better.

Hi Wizard
your tow plate looks a little light on
hope you are not going to hang toooooooooo much behind it
might be a little expensive if it broke on the Queens highway
cheers
