145s ramblings

As I wait for a time to do the trip back south with the 145s Ive been fiddling and fixing.
First the manifold as in the previous post.
Still working well.
Carbs need to be running a bit leaner bu that can wait for Tassie.

Then the instrument lights.
The dimmer was stuffed!


So I eventually bypassed it by linking the wires 1 and 13

it worked



Then I fitted an extra spotlight.



Then I swapped out the small wheel for a 72 wheel from my 164.



The small wheel was crazy with no power stearing and looked stupid



So much nicer to drive in town.
Now to fit a 164 alternator.

Got 24+ mpg on the drive to Oatlands - 1000km approx
