fritz.....do you know if the head gaskets are different???? as this is the one i'm really concerned about....the others can be modified or use liquid gasket. The kit was the VRS kit on ebay....head, inlet, exhaust, cam cover, thermostat and something else gaskets, with valve stem seals. i'm also ass...

can anyone tell me if there is any differences between these models SS80, SS80V, SS80F, SS80G??? I'm assuming the SS80 is the Alto, SS80V is the Hatch, SS80F is the Hatch just alater model and SS80G i have no idea!!!! I ask as i have just bought a Gasket Kit for the SS80 & SS80F, i have an F8B e...

that looks great nik....i would say do the reverse lights!!! so they all match each other style wise. maybe make the reverse section all on one level so it doesn't cut back in for the reflector....just for a better look. you could mount the reflector inside the reverse section for legality reasons. ...

cheers brayden that would be great

change of plans...after having a bit closer look at the F8B engine/gearbox today i have decided to keep the F5A engine/gearbox as there are some things that look a bit weird on the F8B, and i know the F5A actually ran. This means the car will not be taken away this weekend as that person was after t...

cheers brayden i though that stuff in the last pic was related to the auto transmission. on the F5a (solex) carb you can see it has the mounting holes for that rear diapram. on the F8B (mikuni) carb the diaphram mounts to the thottle linkage shaft, but doesn't appear to do anything to the shaft itse...

hi all again. i've actually had some time off to do more with the MB and have found a few minor differences between the F8B and F5A Carbs, although the Hatch 500cc and 800cc manuals say different. i know the f5a carb works, but have never driven the f8b so unsure if it missing bits. first pic F5a Ca...

i have had someone offer to take the whole car off my hands this weekend. pending how that goes unfortunately i have to say that the parts sell off is cancelled.

just thought i would update....if it get's close to the dump date i might re-think a parts giveaway(you have to pay for postage + a small donation), depending if there is enough interest. I would really like for someone to take the whole lot though, then they could sell/give the parts off if they wa...

forgot to mention other condition of sale/gift is that i would like one of the wheels once you have finished transporting as my mightyboy has no spare and to pass roadworthy you need one.

Hi all, have finished taking the f8b out of the hatch for my mightyboy and now want to pass on this car to anyone who wants it for free. The hatch is missing the roof as it was used for a new tray for the mightyboy, comes with working f5a auto motor (i only ran that for 10km or so and it blew a litt...

probably talking about the float bowl tab/pin that pushes on the actual float valve if that tab gets bent 1mm or so or the pin slides out. the carb will run like a dog as there will either be to much fuel in the float therefore dumping it into the throttle bore all the time even at idle or there won...

i'm no expert on these gear-boxes, but motorbikes have a similar design where there is a plate to hold in the bearing and input shaft of the gearbox to the cases. remove the plate, heat the casing around the bearing with a blow torch (butane torches work well also as they are easier to direct the he...

both exactly the same size except one has no seals and the other only has a seal on one side of the balls. it's better to get fully sealed 6007 bearings (same price as std. ones) as that way you arn't depending just on the seal on the drive shaft to stop dirt and water. just get a reputable brand of...
