    FYI

    note the top rope instructions...

    the care instructions that came with the tilt.

    Tilt care instructions

    Canvas is a natural product which will shrink and stretch. This hood has been made slightly larger to allow for this.

    The hood will not OVER shrink as long as all four ropes are inserted into the hood and tied down tightly when you fit the hood to the vehicle.

    Three of the ropes are laced through the sides and back flap of the hood and tied off. the fourth rope (the longest) is inserted through the fold of canvas on the inside where the back flap is stitched to the top of the hood.

    It is very important is used and tied down securely.

    Do not use the eyelet in the top of the back flap for this rope until the hood has weathered in. Once the hood has settled into shape the top rope can be threaded through this eyelet and tied off.

    Do not leave the hood draped over the vehicle as this will lead to over shrinking.

    Once fitted let the hood naturally shrink and stretch until it has settled. this normally takes about three (3) months.

    Do not soak the hood with water, use a pressure hose or chemicals as this will adversely affect the colour and water proofing.

    Once the hood has settled the side and back ropes can be changed to bungee cord but not the top rope.

    It is advisable to re-waterproof the canvas every year after the first twelve (12) months.

    Welp

    Madge took her first ride on a tray back today, down to MR Autos to get the front swivel pin assemblies over hauled and the front end tidied up a little, courtesy of RACQ




    she knows a couple of the inmates already having a stay there i believe....

    hope to have her home in time for the kilkivan ride weekend.

    well she has made it back home!

    i can actually hit a ripple in the road and stay on the right side of the road again!

    she badly needs a wheel alignment so i will arrange that in the next day or so and life will be even more pleasant.

    she had new housing, balls, pins bearings and bushes as well as new brake lines and wheel bearings on the front.

    as usual there was the 2 steps forward one step back phenomenon

    odometer died on the way home..

    speedo still tells me i am doing 70 when it is really doing 80 so it isn't totally broken :P

    spent the evening fitting a Santana style oil filter setup on Madge

    takes a Z416 spin on filter like they use on the GU III nissans.

    pretty dammed impressive how easy it makes a filter change!

    was getting to be well and truly over the original filter not to mention it is getting harder to get good quality cartridges for them.

    MANN stamped on the side of the unit.

    well 4 years after getting the canvas tilt i have had to put it in to get the stitching redone on all the roof bits as the thread they did the sowing with has gone off

    going to set me back about $200-$250 to get it redone in 15yr cotton thread.

    put it in today @ ray's canvas in caboolture and pick it up in a few weeks.

    will see how it goes as the canvas looks and feels fine.
