Re: '67 Square
Boring tyre question alert - can I ask what tyres you're running on those stock steels, and how many splines front / rear it's lowered?
Cheers,
James.

Re: '67 Square
I can't answer either question I didn't lower it that was done by the PO, I'm guessing 2 splines. As for the tyres I will look next time I'm at the yardHavana Henry wrote:Boring tyre question alert - can I ask what tyres you're running on those stock steels, and how many splines front / rear it's lowered?

Re: '67 Square
Aha, answered my own question I think. I've looked back at old pics in the thread and unless you've changed them the tyres on the steels were 165/65/15.
Sorted.

Re: '67 Square
So I had a day off work and took the dog to the yard and set about turning my 1776 T2 motor into a type3
Here's what I started with, it's a '71 motor judging by the engine code but I'm not sure of its displacement tho I have a receipt for 1700 B&Ps
And this is the engine out my bus
I stripped the tin off the T2 unit
Now I know the svda will foul the generator so ill index the dog gear on the dissy to turn the vac round for clearance. Other than that I don't really see a problem
One nearly naked t3 unit
And on with some t3 tin
Ok so I didn't get much further than that. Besides the short IDF manifolds didn't arrive
Will get on with it next week and get it fitted

Re: '67 Square
A bit of progress, well actually a lot
Engine is in
Just got the carbs to fit, though there is a small space issue
The upright for the hex linkage is a little close to the engine lid, going to try and lower the engine to make some space.....
Also the ns inlet is a complete bitch to fit thanks to CJ Motors for the work so far
All going in the right direction tho, should be on the road in a week or two.....
