Thread: ID my firewall please?

G'day akelly

I too have a slightly re-arranged left leg I'm at the monent awaiting a knee replacement,MVA,blew a tyre and went off the side of a mountain in 1973,if I had been riding the bike(BMW) I could have chucked it down the road and stepped off. I have found that the seating position in the 2a has helped to keep the strength in that leg, even now that I need a walking stick to get around.

It appears that you have a very late 2a Shorty and if you have the original wide wire grille you are a very lucky bloke, as they are like hen's teeth.


cheers

Using a VH44 booster for a clutch would be excessive I think, there are other vehicles with boosted clutchs, I think some Ni**ans, and possibly Coasters. They look like miniature VH44s. I looked at fitting one to my first 2A as it had a killer clutch, but my last 2A, an H suffix wagon had an extremely light clutch, but I don't know which master or slave cylinders it had, perhaps you could try different ones with a better ratio.

Hey Jeff,

I'm thinking along similar lines, the 44 is pretty massive (but I do alreay have one...). Doing some sweet google research over the weekend, it appears that the Ford Maverick had a clutch servo - there must be heaps of those in wrecking yards hey?

Good tip on changing bore size in the cylinders too, I'll look into that.

Cheers,

Adam

there would be tonnes more nissan patrols in wrecking yard than mavericks considering their only difference is badges
