    As for wether to use free-wheeling hubs its on to debate some people say they save fuel & makes driving smoother with less vibration, on the down side you dont get the oil being consintaly splashed around in the hubs or diff center keep them well lubercated with drive flanges fitted.
    I like the period look and once a week lock the hubs to keep every thing luberacted.

    Quick Question.

    Did you register as a 3 seater or 7? And if seven did you have any trouble?

    I have some seat backs I want to fit in my 11a and register it as a seven. Am currently undecided about my snowy. It has cushions fitted to the top of the guards but no backs.

    I would prefer to register as a 7 as there are 4 of us and on the odd occasion I would like us all to fit.

    Good job by the way.

    G,day it is regiested as a 7 seater. I was told if it hasnt been regeisted before or its been over 5 years it would be best to get it registed as a 7 seater, if I had it registed as a 3 seater then later on wanted it as a 7 seater then it has to be tested and complanced to current 2009 specs.

    Wow Lost landy,

    you have moved fast on this one. Is that the same one with the lazy starter motor and the stripped shiny guards I saw a couple of months ago.

    Gosh that was quick...

    Makes me feel very slow. Mind you, you do have a fair collection of doner vehicles! I'm making slow steady progress, but enjoying it all the same...
