Getting OT again (what ! in this thread !!??) the Landy is a getting a little loving ATM, and not before time.
Dropped the centre section of my home built 3" exhaust and cut out the home made 3" bore straight through muffler and welded in a Hooker Aerotech muffler.
I told one of the girls at the local cafe I was so put out that she didn't love me anymore I had to go and buy a Hooker in a box, as I walked in carrying the new muffler with HOOKER emblazoned all over it (The PO is just down the street from the cafe) :monkey:
Nicely constructed with reasonable gauge steel even though it's made in the PRC. (you can almost guarantee it's from Aussie mined ore and possibly Aussie coking coal.
Wondered why the old girl was a tad loud until I cut the old muffler out and found most all the tiny little holes I'd used down the centre section were blocked with soot :msp_rolleyes:
I can hear the manifold leak now at the head
Fitted a new oil pressure sender to fix one oil leak (yes, there's heaps more....) and replaced one front windscreen vent seal. Whoo hoo ! no more freezing draft but damn, it wasn't a five minute job. Whatever adhesive they use for the foam seal could glue the space shuttle together, it took forty minutes and copious amounts of various carcinogenic solvents and much elbow grease to remove. Had to resort to trying to soften it with the solvent and scraping with a knife. How the hell half of it had managed to unstick itself is beyond as the other half was there for keeps.
A new extended capacity t/case sump is on its way and Serg, a quote from Tom Woods in the US is coming (two emails have been sent) for a new front DC driveshaft. I need it soon as the current uni's are on their last legs. I think I've bound them once too many times.......
There's a new windscreen and seal waiting to fit, and probably a new vacuum pump Matt/460cixy. Karcraft told me the other day they had a bad batch and they'll send another out if I want it.
Sorry, no piccies, can't upload ATM for some reason, but if you've seen one exhaust pipe you've seen 'em all....
