WTBeg/Borrow/Steal:- Engine Crane (Sydney

[rowdytoot]

Cookie.. I have a grand plan, and I think I should be able to get the Xmember in and out without a drama as long as I lift the engine about 20 mm in the bay with the hoist, and then it's just 6 bolts and the X member is out.

see you saturday around 9 then ... got garage it's just smallish!! no lawn or garden at all either.. shame we need to put the hoist in the ute.. I'd bring the RX-8 for a strap...

smee.. either Rod Kilby, since he built the 1st one- correct??( which means I'll be making 2 trips to canberra pre Dell- so expect a visit!) or Arthur Jackson will be doing the new one so I have no qualms to I can get another one no dramas so I might do that.. good idea..

I thought the plates on the bottom were just tapped for the bolts?? having bolts welded in makes sense...

I shall search my folder for the part no's for the plates, even though spac tells me they are ill eagle according to the badly worded book... but gemini series regs say you can...

Hoonboy-- you can earn beer if you come over and help me do the work if you like

Southo -thanks for the PM but it's under control

Cheers boys

Oh damn! You could have taken me for a spin.

Nup... All done by mee.

Arthur I am sure will do an excellent job, as he was the instigator of the series.

Query him on everything and anything.

I'm sure I have your for sale ad, which said something about kilby doing the Xmember.. I know he did the cage..

I'll give him a buzz tomorrow and see what he reckons- time and cost wise.. cheers

Good work rowdytoot!
Get that damn Gemini back on the road!

I'm sure Arthur Jackson will do a great job of it. (If he has the time to do it!) And it would save you a trip or two to Canberra! Also as far as I am aware he is a Mini Car Club member! (not 100% sure!)

So I expect to see you and the Gemini at Riverstone on the 27th of June for the Khanacross! (Note: Yes is the only right answer!)

Hey Daveee

I'm trying mate.. god knows I'm throwing enough $$ at it... :p

27 of June sounds almost doable maybe!! If all goes well this w/end and Arthur can fit me in, I should have it back together and rego'd by the end of Bega w/end so I might just make it.. :p

Better get some harness's ordered methinks.. :p

Cheers

Great to hear!

Harness's... How safe do you wanna be?
I bought some 2" Sparcos (no expiry) from Race and Rally for only $140 each. Anyway, ring Race and Rally anyway (ask to talk to Dave [aka. Pissy Dave], he is a Mini Car Club member) you should get a 5% discount.

Are you heading down to Ulladulla for anything?
