peter t 200 Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Well the old bus has a new heart. A mild L28 built by JWM and tuned by BTT. Goes like its stolen but very tight atm. Only 200k on it so far. Doing my best to run it in properly. RAP260, AndBir and blu260z 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peter t 200 Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Well I had issues with the throttle linkages being sooooo old so I fitted up a new cable and what a difference. So responsive got rid of all the jerking etc. RAP260 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peter t 200 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 The cable bracket looks flimsy but is solid steel. Made from an old cargo barrier bracket and doesn't flex. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your running kdrs-09 and kdfl-04 springs, with the shorter strut tophat / insulator on the rear, correct? Cheers, Rob P. S. Yea, you can't beat a cable. I'm using them on my HS6's, so smooth. peter t 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Peter, I am interested in how you made/attached your heat shield for the carbs - any tips you can pass on would be appreciated. Thanks, Andrew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Andrew. I'm interested in how Peter solved this problem also. But I'll share my solution. The heat shielding looks very similar to what I used when I had triples . ACL Heat Shield. http://www.autoxcel.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=140 I made use of the existing holes in the webers to basically suspend mine below the carbs. I used threaded rod, worked a treat. Refer to the attached picture. Had it fixed at 3 points. Hope this is of some help. Edited August 25, 2020 by RAP260 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peter t 200 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Well after a few more additions this is the Christmas 2020 COVID version.LOL. New engine is going great after final dyno tune. Wiper upgrade done with new wipers as well. New koni yellow adj shocks all round and Standard King springs installed. I got sick of it hitting down all the time. ( getting old) Lets all hope for a better 2021 but I think its just a case of getting used to the new world of COVID shit. I am looking at getting valves inserted in my lungs in the new year so I can breath a bit better so I hope that works. Meanwhile here is the 12/20 version of my Bus.

Administrators gav240z 2,487 Posted December 29, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hey Peter, I may have missed it, but what airbox are you running? I just ordered a heat shield for my Triple Mikunis, looking at airbox options again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peter t 200 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Hi Gav using heat shield from Supacheap. Air box from "Bits of Italy" but should be bits of crap. Had to do lots of work to line backing plate up with carbies then modify fibreglass box to fit and the supplied gasket is crap. Cost a fortune and not worth half the price considering all the work I had to do to make it fit. Edited December 30, 2020 by peter t gav240z 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeterAllen 315 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Peter. I'd never heard of the procedure before so I did a bit of research on that valve thing. Good luck mate, it looks promising. Edited December 30, 2020 by PeterAllen gilltech and peter t 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think I'll go for the Airbox that Alan ran on his 240zg and patined orange. Just gotta wait and see how this heat shield fits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
