Thread: Leyland Built 109

Windscreen posts have the triangle brackets on them but can't seem to find the significance of them.
As explained by others, mirror mounts.

Body is originally a 6 cylinder but has a Holden 202 in it now. Transmission tunnel cover incorporates hi-lo range lever in 1 piece but lever seems to be set too far back and has had the cover cut (very roughly) to fit through. Currently has a 4 cylinder lever fitted.
Cutout for gearlever has been modified in the transmission tunnel so was the gearbox mounted further back when the Holden motor was installed ?
Hi/Lo lever is in the floor and looks correct.

Hope this helps

Screen down, no probs.

I have found that when I drive my 80" with the tilt off & screen down motor bike riders abuse me because I am not wearing a helmet. I wear glasses so the bugs are not a problem but they do get stuck in my teeth

A deceased friend built two tricycle kit cars. The first with Citroen engine and running gear and the second with Subaru. They are two seaters, side by side. Qld. Transport classes them as motorcycles and helmets must be worn.

Yeah Lionel, there is probably a good reason for that but I also mentioned future water leaks.

Then you should change your diet for a much larger bug. Do you want fries with that?

My Beard filters the bugs.
