wouldn't a one way valve just leave the rear brakes always on after you have stepped on the pedal?

Re: Rubber vs polyurethane bushes?

I agree with Chunks in the four 60 series cruisers I have owned over the years poly just seems to not last, I was wondering if it was the same for the coil suspension? I was quoted through my local guy $100 for poly bushes in the lower arms and $220 for rubber bushes that aren't genuine, I haven't ...

Rubber vs polyurethane bushes?

Been searching here and the net but have not come up with a definitive answer, will I get more flex from rubber trailing arm bushes than polyurethane bushes? Rubber bushes are twice the price of polyurethane are they really worth it? The rubber bushes I am assuming are originals and have lasted over ...

Re: Rebuild Kits 1HDT

Thanks guys, everyone was right the kits aren't that expensive and all I needed was pistons and bottom end bearings as I already had the head gasket kit :armsup:

Worst part is I now need a new head as mine has a small crack :bad-words:

Rebuild Kits 1HDT

Anyone got any good contacts for diesel rebuild kits? Finally did some work on my cruiser (Motor died 80kms from Rocky on the way home from Cape York) and I have a small hole in piston number 5. I will do a full rebuild while I am fixing it. I need prices, been on ebay and had a quick look a couple ...

Thanks everyone, I looked at using those latches similar to cars eg bearclaw, I actually came across Steve's thread on ausjeepers while googling. I just don't have the room in the bar (didn't design it with a latch in mind) to run a bearclaw. The over centre latches are good but finding one any ...

What latch on spare wheel carrier?

I am nearly finished building my rear bar and spare wheel carrier, I was wondering what does everyone use to keep them latched on and also has anyone got an idea on how to latch the wheel back while the door is open so it won't hit me or the door if it is a little windy etc.

The debate for and against K & N is like Toyota vs Nissan, but in the end I believe they work well if looked after. Motorbikes have been running oiled air filters for years and they work well when you keep the oil up to them. If we could find some room a commodore air filter or similar would be ...

Looking for in-line air cleaner

A while ago there was a link posted in here for an in-line air cleaner. It looked similar to a water to air intercooler but inside was a pod filter. A mate needs one as he only has enough room for a pod filter and its pretty hard to hook that up to a snorkel.

As above is the 105 Cruiser tailshaft the same as an 80 series or is it the same as a V8 100 series, Mine sort of fell out so I don't have any idea on lengths etc. Mine was a 99 105 Series cruiser.

Thats no good Corry :x I left at about 9am Sunday and didn't see it, I also didn't go down for a look at the comp either. This sort of stuff happening makes you not want to go back again although I thought it was quite well behaved unlike the extreme winch challenge.
