visiting tassie

going to tassie for the boat festival.
might buy a car there if a good one comes up, looking for a VB VK commodore. where would be a good place to find one, and do vehicles have to be inspected when sold? or is it just a straight out transfer?

Re: WANTED 550 Motor Good Working Order

check the electric fan is working before you go to the time and expense of a new radiator. could be just a loose wire or faulty sensor.

Re: WANTED 550 Motor Good Working Order

the f8 goes straight in to the f5 cradle so they are the same. Suggest the problem is the engine mount that goes to the firewall, some of them are different and need to be changed.

Re: WANTED 550 Motor Good Working Order

you won't need to swap the cradle unless you are going auto/manual or manual auto.
if you are putting a 543 box in behind a 800 you will find the revs a bit excessive and low top speed and high fuel consumption, all basically because of the high revs.

Re: F8B Gearbox

There were a couple of variants fitted both boxes depends how early or late model they were.
You have to change the whole thing over.(housing etc)
easier to fit another speedo cable.

Re: EOI: small car trailers

all up weight with MB on board would not require brakes as far as I know. should reduce costs a bit. also there are trailers already available that are basically an axle with a tow hitch you hook on to you tow bar and sit the front wheels of the MB on the axle. See Mobi tow.
