Thanks for the offer. I found an older one in the shed and have popped it on.

There was some but it was across the water jacket. The corrosion was blocking a lot of the flow through the holes in the head gasket. Maybe the coolant mix was diluted and boiling as the gasket looked intact?

Decided to do head gasket and found leaky water pump at same time. There is corrosion in the water jacket on the head and water pump too . Any ideas how to stop this from spreading? Are there more earths than from the rocker cover and geaarbox to battery?

Thanks for the reply. The vacuum ports on the bottom of the carby that connect to the pot at the back and side are ok to block? Will try get pics of carby tomorrow to help clarify. I am still a bit confused as the carby and manifold were off a manual that went into an auto f5a donor car. Am i right ...

Here are the pics. I was sure that these were off a manual sb308 alto. Happy if i can use the older manifold, do i need to block vaccuum lines on carby or just disconnect?

I have posted on the wtb section for an inletmanifold for a f8b. Have found another in the shed but it doesnt haave vaccuum gear at back. Any idea if it can be used as a replacement until i get time to get snapped bolts out? Will resize pics to upload later but alternative manifold has no egr hole o...

Hi all, i am chasing an inlet manifold for a f8b. Snapped both thermostat housimg bolts and had no luck removing them. I am in gippslaand but willing to pay postage. Let me know what you have.
Thanks

Looks awesome. Would love both but is it came down to choosing 1 I think the blueprint one.
Great work!

Hi,
will also be worth checking out the distributor housing while you are there.

hi, pics would be useful so we know which one you mean. if the colours of the wires match up that is a good indicator, do a search for wiring diagram and you should be able to work out what goes where. as for the speedo, it is a cable that runs from the back of the gearbox into the back of the speed...

hi, sorry but not the square headlight model. pic below is one like the car the parts are from.

you could pop the drive shaft from the box and then have a go at getting the other end out. from therei am not sure about how much more you would need to do. you might need to press the rest apart as it looks like the bearing holds the hub together.

hi, here is a pic of the bumpers. i hosed the dust off them so they are still a bit wet. also found a grille and the front radiator support. unfortunately the steering wheel had been promised to my kids to go on their cubby - i forgot about this.

I have been trying to find a better home for these parts for a while now. dont miss out on your last chance to pick up some needed parts. as stated in the title, whatever is left on sat next week will be going to the tip. regrettable but i need the room in my shed. Hi, i used an 88 alto as the donor...
