    Engine Removal

    Can be removed together.

    Bonnet hinges

    They are plated (yellow / gold), then over painted in body colour (for some reason).
  5. It's in Melbourne.
  6. Holy shit - he's alive! Whoever the shop is that will paint it, will have it on their computer. Don't worry about it. Unless you're going to paint it yourself.............?
  7. It's a lean mixture at the rev range. I suggest a dyno tune to iron out the problem - it may require a new set of suitable needles in the Hitachi's.
  8. Merry Bah-Humbug you miserable bastards. I hope all your Zeds rust and that you get coal instead of NOS Z parts.

  10. That's what she sa...... err... Never mind.
  11. A ball-peen hammer and a block of hardwood will get you started.
  12. Fill cooling system with straight water. Poor LOTS of oil over the camshaft. Turn over engine with plugs out to get oil pressure. Start engine and run for 20min @ 2000rpm to run in cam. Drop oil & refill. Let engine cool overnight. Re-torque cylinder head. Drive it like you stole it.
  13. Knowing Dickie, they'll be a few feet.
  14. Let me get this straight Dickie: The Targa-top openings were filled (somehow) and then Boat Fairing - which is an Epoxy - was used to fill in the area and make it smoother, yes? Epoxy is more or less the same weight as polyester filler. And yet, you don't want to use a skim of polyester filler? Am I missing something? Buy yourself a few wooden rulers of varying lengths (300mm, 400mm & 600mm) and wrap your 80-grit sanding paper around them. It'll follow the curve of the roof without creating divets. I have a professional 'Splining Kit' for this job, but the rulers will produce a similar outcome.
  15. It's a no-brainer. Hence why the majority of us in Vic with Zeds are on club permit. Being on permit also lowers your insurance premium too. Just join a car club that suits your needs - there was a topic on this posted not long ago...
  16. If you bolt each one up, how much free-play in the slave pushrod do you get on each one Marc?

    Thanks to Sharron & yourself for putting on a great day again, mate
  18. "Instructional article by Australasian correspondent Matthew Ryeland."
  19. Robbie, make sure there is nothing behind when you drill the hole. Paint the hole after you've drilled it with any sort of paint - it doesn't' matter what you use, you wont see it. Use steel Rivnuts (not Alum) and preferably 8mm...
  20. Good stuff Linton!
  21. Oi, don't get me started, fella... And I'm not painting it twice - do you want it Red or Satin Black along with the tops of the guards?
  22. Have you repaired the replacement door and sent it down to me yet??????
  23. Meet at Lillydale supercheap @ 8:30am
  24. With the LH dogleg done, it was onto the to of the LH sill / door step:
