  1. People have asked about putting a V12 GM in a R model a few times on here, I had never seen one until this one So yes it can be done Paul
  2. Well done on getting it home, what a great project Be sure to keep us all updated Paul
  3. Bob I always pull the S cams fully out and clean all the old grease out and start again when I work on brakes Nothing worse than having to do this on the side of the road when a drums getting really hot I also do the same with the slack adjuster Pump diesel into it while it's clamped in a vice and wind it around and around push all the old grease out It just makes things so much easier later on Paul
  4. Don't over think the spring Just get something a little shorter than the measured length Every so often I'll replace a full set of shoes on a trailer or truck and everytime they look a little different but always work fine Just measure the spring and get something closish, as long as it pulls the shoe when the s cam is fully off your good to go Paul
  5. Wow, that's looking the goods now Paul
  6. I'm pretty sure you can get the DVD set but the quality is crap But to be honest, it would be like watching it back in the day when TV reception wasn't the best and we were happy to watch a polar bear im a snow storm ha ha And yes a quick Google tells me the DVD set is available BJ and the Bear (1978-1981 complete TV series) DVD-R - Loving The Classics https://share.google/dmIktTFCQLlN0R1fE Link should work hopefully Let us know if the DVD set is any good Paul
  7. The bearded clam ?
  8. Now your talking my language
  9. Forget the meat, who in there right mind leaves a bottle of grog for 12 years FFS With everything going on in my little world I certainly am not gunna risk drink old grog, lifes to short for that silliness ha ha ha When I was farming in North Queensland I was told "There's only two States to be in Paul, Queensland and drunk" LOL They are serious drinkers up there Bourbon all the way for me, mind you I have had recent discovery of Vodka, bloody mad Russians Vodka will make a mess of me without me even knowing Yes Brocky, Hogs Breath Cafe is what they call them A good steak cooked all the way through is my go to, the Princess has had this thing of not cooking meat properly of late, well I had suggested I don't like eating meat that's still mooing at me A couple of weeks ago I fairly spat the dumy as I carried my meat back to fully cook it It was a very quiet evening meal after that However the meat has been cooked better since, I don't understand why after 30 years of marriage she woul................., anyway I have already said to much Nothing like a couple of good bourbons and a nice fat cigar to end the week Paul
  10. The steak is a lot under done for my liking Looks like a good feed was had Stew was a every day thing as a kid growing up for most people I think, or certainly were I grew up Always reckon it tasted better the next day, cold on toast Paul
  11. If it has Dynatard there should be studs for wires coming out of the rocker covers Dunno about the oil pressure, my E6 sits on 60 - 70 when zooming along And, yes, not a lot of engine braking with or without Dynatard Paul
  12. None are my photos but they sold plenty over there Most made in New Zealand Paul
  13. I use this stuff, assume you can get it in most parts of the world Migth take a few applications but softens the gasckets up so they just peel off complete Paul
  14. Well underway now, I sort of got to this stage and thought I'll have it by the balls and be done in no time So much fiddly stuff to do that took me forever Great work Paul
  15. After all the welding and sandingand polishing, I thought it looked okay My mate Mal and my boy quickly pointed out how crap a job it actually was Apparently even finer paper was needed I spent days just welding up all the holes were people had screwed, riveted crap to it It went on for ever the welding and the like Anyway the Mack muster 2026 is coming up so I best get busy tidying things up again Apparently they are featuring the R model Paul
