THE "silly" question thread

[lexplay]

ok since its friday and their is not much happenin i thought i would start a thread for suzuki lovers to talk about anything they feel like and not worry about asking stupid questions.
plus i did'nt want to start a thread on indicators but what aftermarket front fender indicators are some of you guys using. mine are all faded and cracked i was thinking maybe some clear ones to give it that new look.

[want33s]

LED $6 each

I would stick with standard ones .... easy to get

[lexplay]

yea the standard one do the job but some since i need new ones why not try clear or yea led would be cool but im not paying that just to have them ripped of by a rock or the side of a ditch

edit. just read its a ten pack, so any ten people keen on paying $6 dollars for some clear led indicators?

you think they will fit our cars neatly want33's

Ugh, dunno bout them indicators... stock is fine.. and you will loose park lights with them...

ok different Question, Sierra related, but who actually has the rubber latch thingo used to attatch the windscreen to the bonnet in the down position?

[want33s]

I bought a six pack of them and fitted two to my car.
Mine had them at the front of the guards but I fitted TJ flares and covered them up so I mounted the new ones in front of the door, behind the bonnet on the side of the cowl.

i know mine doesnt. i have seen some sierra bonnets with a metal bracket in the middle of the bonnet maybe that has something to do with it.

My guess is the strap wasn't included in cars with full doors. It might have been in the toolkit or something, so maybe Drover soft tops would have come with the strap?

There's no pad on the accelerator standard.

The GPS one is tricky. It *might* be legal in principle (that is, nothing says you have to have a mechanical connection to the output shaft to get a speed reading), but in practice I think you'd be hard pressed getting one passed. Most GPS units don't have speed as a default page. i.e when you turn the car on, you have to go "looking" for speed. Also, you'll get no reading in tunnels and under bridges etc.

A "real" GPS speedo is made by Norskog -

But you still loose an odometer, it's MPH only, and has the problems outlined above.

I run my stock speedo with and a GPS.

There's no pad on the accelerator standard.

However, you should probably buy one as i have been failed on a rego check for not having one.

[Viper91]

[Pinball]

they're not? which law??

just have to be ADR compliant and mounted in accordance with local rules and regs... of course, said rules and regs can ban em, but last i checked Qld Road Transport regs were ok with em if they met the ADR performance requirements.

Can you buy accelerator pads? I have never come across them before. You can always just glue on rough sandpaper, that will give you some grip.

[Gwagensteve]

autobarn mate - they have all the bling...

Skateboard Grip tape or stair antislip tape is the go, but it doesn't add grip when your boots are really muddy.

I guess I need to keep up with the times a bit more.

I guess really big spikes would give you grip when wearing really muddy boots. Might help with fuel economy too?....

I had to replace the accelerator pedal rubber on my 1.0 Sierra for it's roadworthy as they said it was too worn so I pulled one of another 1.0 at a wreckers.

And yes, led are legal on the front if they meet all the rerquirements.

[lexplay]

i just had a look in one of my books and they only list clutch and brake rubbers wich is the same. next time i got my zook at work ill try all our pedal rubbers till i find one that fits the accelerator and post up the parts number. brake and clutch pedal pad number is 29832 any covs or veals has them

[joeblow]

i've always told em to stick it up thier a#@!. tell em to ring suzuki and find out it doesn't exist, or tell em to check the adr's for that vehicle and find out you don't need one.

Doesn't exist...
Let me draw your attention to #2 on the diagram below.........

[joeblow]

suzuki head office have no record of that part, and jimny's don't have them. the buck stops at head office.

[want33s]

It's right there in black and white.
It's ALSO in the Suzuki World Wide Parts Catalogue.
Just enter the part number and there it is.

Love your style Joe!!

Suzuki's came with full floating rear axles, rear locking diffs, and PTO's... doesn't mean they came into Australia like it, or that you could ring suzuki and order one.

There's no requirement for a pad on the accelerator, and one wasn't fitted from new in Australia.
