G,,day .
i am curious .
i have set up a number of the original governers .
and have not had a problem .

please explain the need to fix a problem that i thought did not exist .

or am i just old fashioned and like mechanical things that work . and can be fixed .

i hope you read my comments regarding the main bearings . fit the bearings in the crankcase , without the crankshaft . scribe small alignment marks on the bearing . then you know they are correctly placed when assembling . also it is best to remove the welch plugs from the crankshaft . so you can to...

also it appears to be an early motor , early oil filter !!!

no governor

Gary . you could make me an offer on it .

i have a couple , but they belong with the Eberspacher heater .

i will look to see if i have any others .

sit the bearings in the crankcase and lightly scribe some alignment marks .
then fit to crankshaft , then fit to crankcase .

not being smart . but i only did that once .

G,,day .

memory says toyota 12R pistons
skirt needs shortening , and i think a skim off the outer edge of the crown .
gudgeon is the same .

if you want hi -comp , weld the crown and machine to the same dimensions as original hi - comp pistons .

i love snakes .
it is a Tasmanian Tiger Snake , yes it is very venomous .

G,,day , a comment . winches work much better from a cranking / starting battery . they are designed for fast / high discharge . and fast charging . deep cycle batteries are designed for long slow discharge and take a lot longer to charge . this for "normal" lead acid type batteries . kerry

i have seen that stamping a lot .
i cant say if it was all the Haflingers i have seen
it was sometimes a very light stamping

according to my memory .tin ware goes on to the motor . then the spacer !!!

have you got the correct springs on the mushroom valves .
valves are the same springs are not
kerry

the V twin could most likely rev high enough .
possible that he purchased it without a motor .
from what i can see , a neater conversion than any i have ever seen .
appears to have not lost ground clearance ,
possibly lost a bit of departure angle

kerry

from memory .
a 13 mm crowsfoot spanner is the go

G,,day . my comments on the amount of maintainence / repairs etc . we are talking about an old vehicle ,often poorly serviced during its life. the well serviced ones that i had a lot to do with were not difficult or required anything out of the ordinary go and try any other 30 plus year old vehicle ...

make a jig to bolt it to .
so every thing is in the correct alignment
