G'day Tim, when I changed mine over to parabolic's, the U bolts on my series were a lot bigger, almost the same size as the holes in the plate,, so much so, that I needed to align them squarely to get them fitted without catching.
The could have possible changed this on later models though [bighmmm]
Thanks Chops, I really don't think these are correct for the vehicle, I'll have to go on the hunt for some of the correct diameter and length next week.
Cheers,
Not sure on your housings Tim, but my bolts were different shapes (?) front and rear, left to right. I think the rears were both the same, but the fronts were certainly different. But, this could be a Series thing (?).
The u bolts on the drivers front are different length and different shape. One is rounded and the other is squarer over the top of, i think, the inner part of the rhf housing. The inner one is also the longer one, from memory.
Cheers Rod
The fronts are definitely different on a series, 3 are the same then the drivers inside has a flat bottom can't remember why I dunno if it changes with parabolic springs. Rears are different if you have the sals axle. When I got my series the flat one was replaced by a really long u bolt again dunno why tho.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...17101521d8.jpgQuote:

Moving along with getting the car ready to go over the pits, time to change the water sprinkler. I'm definitely going to have to change the fan!

After removing the radiator I found the cause of the fan damage. The radiator has been changed to an early 110 radiator, but the people who did it made no attempt to restrain the bottom of the rad, so it could move back and forward slightly causing the shroud to contact the fan.

Got the water pump off, but there always has to be one bolt that doesn't want to play nice!

Bit of heat, followed by some freeze and release, and it could be undone with a stud remover

And, as per the norm with this car, the new water pump had the wrong end on it, so might as well change the weeping front crank seal. The crank pulley bolt was tighter than a tight thing, so out with the big boy breaker bar!

But nothing is ever easy is it! the pulley doesn't clear the front cross member :( Lucky it has all those pulleys though, considering it only needs to drive one belt for the alternator and water pump!

Undid the engine mounts, and jacked the engine up enough to clear the front cross member. At least I didn't need to use pullers on the pulley!

So, now I need to return the wrong water pump and get the right one, and a crank seal.
Oh, and in the mean time, what the hell is this thing?
