The control arm to sway bar mounts can be had in polyurethane from either Noltec or Nolathane, your local *serious* car parts place should be able to get them. Failing that, the stock rubber ones are still available from Suzuki, as are the stock swaybar to chassis mounts (which wear at the same rate...

I figured as much - I've been @rsing about with them for the last couple of hours, ended up leaving the passenger side for now (waiting for the penetrating oil to take effect before I get keen). The driver's side however, it just fell apart when I pulled on the hub... easy fix

Does anyone know offhand how to seperate the hub from the carrier to get at the front wheel bearings?

I'm *assuming* they're only pressed in, but I'd just like to confirm before I try to destroy them the wrong way...

Tempting, but I already have plenty of full lights sitting about the place... I just need the little trim that goes around it.

If you REALLY want to prime the oil pump, disconnect the pressure sender on the back of the block & insert a small tube with a funnel on it, then pour in a small amount of oil. Helps it out even with the grease trick, although it is a little more time consuming. Before adding the pistons to the ...

You're going to need to be more specific as to the SHADE of british racing green - There's about 40 different shades, ranging from almost black BRG from bentley's, to a shade which lotus used that isn't much darker than the colour of Brayden's 'Boy.

Bump - still after stuff...

Thanks

Orright, I know good F5a's are in demand 8) , but it doesn't mean that one of you lot can just come around & flog my old motor out of my 'bay without asking :lol: http://tamon.edave.net/gallery/v/members/Evilgidget/DSCI0693.JPG.html Suspiciously vacant, waiting for the new donor engine & tra...

Considering the last electric one I did would light the tyres in third gear from a standstill...

Nah

Current update: It's in the shed, front end out of it, motor sitting disconnected & loose on it's mounts (it's too good a motor to leave it outside), just prepping a couple of rust holes underneath where the battery tray is (was), then by that time I should have enough space to pull the motor &a...

Compression blowback, or backfiring through the carb?

Having the cam set 180 degrees out relative to the crank position can cause backfiring while trying to start

Trouble with it is that natural rubber, like the style used on the tray rubber, isn't UV stable. Armour-all and whatnot is the only real way around it. Give it a real good rubbing with it on a clean rag (or few) & see how it goes. I may have a source for a replacement rubber soon... Working out ...

As factory as an aftermarket conversion for Suzuki gets at least. I thought the conversions on the squirts was done pre-compliance anyway.
Isn't that the one you had to sell to finance the paint job?

$250 is nothing.

$1250 on the other hand... That's a nice surprise.

Ain't it what! If I hadn't already bought mine, I'd be having a bid on this one!
