Update.... Found a grumpy old guy at Suzuki who remembers these old things. He burst a couple of brain cells and found the slug I was looking for. While there, I also picked up the upper shifter seat, 'cos I couldn't find one in the 5 milk crates full of stuff. Part # 09245-10002 http://i226.photobu...

Hi CG, very new to this forum and small cars in general, but, an engine is an engine. The oil is coming up from the rocker/valve cover. As your piston rings wear, the amount of oil left on the bores increases and gets past, as a way of recycling the fumes (emission control), the oil mist is dumped i...

No probs. Thanks for replies, now I know it supposed to "plugged" I'll machine up a slug. Or tap a thread in the hole, or find a welch plug, or TIG it up, or..........

Reckon I got some in my pile of stuff. I'll go check....

Thanks Brayden. I was kinda thinking that. Will see Mr Suzuki and get a replacement.

Ok, finally got a photo. Been working and it's been bucketing rain down in SA. This is taken with me under passenger seat, looking forward to rear of gearbox housing. I'm trying to identify what part goes in the hole. The hole is fully machined, no threads. Welsh plug, freeze plug ?? Temp sensor ?? ...

Hey Retro, Bro-in-law only going as far as Mildura, no plans to go up your way. Thanks again for the offer, I'll keep looking closer to Adelaide.

Wow, cool.

Bro-in-law heading to Mildura in a week or two......... let me make a phone call.

Appreciate your generous offer. Could you find out about rear for me. Please?

Hi all, just added 1 or 2 litres of gearbox oil to my SS40v, and noticed that I have a leak coming from somewhere on the rear casing. Upon inspection, I found a machined hole in the casing, not threaded, but about 1/2" (13mm) wide. Does amyone know what belongs in there?? I'm thinking maybe a w...

Cheers Brayden. If I ever hear of a set of Suzuki chairs, I'll make sure they tilt forward.

Hey all, thought I'd start a thread for my newly acquired project. He's an SS40V 1982 Hatch, with the awesome power of half a litre of Jap engineering. My daily drive was an XB Ford ute, with a 351 etc, etc, but tin worm has taken hold, and once I found damage in the chassis rails, I decided to find...

Thanks Tez, appreciate the welcome. I have been reading the previous posts, and in turn found interesting posts on a rear seat. Didn't know they could be got. As an aftermerket fitment, there can't be too many of these around, but, would like to see if any members have a spare for sale. Curious thou...

Hi all, just bought a Suzi Hatch 10/82 model SS40V. My previous ride had 5.8 litres, and this has only 0.5 litres. It came as a roller, with (apparently) recon engine/gearbox, and 5 milk crates in the back, with the rest of the car in them. http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd126/bear351c/2012-06-2...
