Hi all, glacial progress at the moment due to new job, However when cleaning up the manifold i found holes in the preheat pipes after a mild panic and enquires about getting my son to bent up new pipes and cut new flanged i can to my senses and chemical metaled the 2 holes - thats a job for the rebu...

Does anyone have tips for getting the oil drain tubes back onto the 2 studs on the rocker cover ?

Doh… overthinking remove rocker cover and then fit pipe

Hi john, Yeah clutch is good no contamination and the pressure plate is clean and shiny no marks or blueing. The thrust bearing was a little rough but it majically got much better when i found out how much they are. Lol i did clean it up and sluice it - its good now and will be replaced when i pull ...

Hi All, It's been a while since i've had the chance to do anything on Hemi due to a new job, however I did try tarting up the difflock levers using plasidip and all in I'm happy with the result, a larger container would have made it easier to dip them though as they had to be angled in to the tin. I...

Hi Stan, Is that a drain plug on the Torque Tube?

cheers..

Hi John, thanks for the reply, good to know I'm not missing something, I have got to do battle again with the front lever retaining cap tonight. The leaking seal was the n/s rear, the seal surface on the hub was in really good condition no wear at all, I did give it a once over with wire wool before...

I've had a bit of a spurt with Hemi recently some were easy and satisfying to get done, others were along the lines of WTF was the designer thinking..! It was a simple job to replace the hub oil seal wheel off 5 bolts and a split pin - easy and hopefully the oily brakes are history. Something that I...

I really should stop browsing the garage journal..

Hi Low beam switch..

Hi Julian, yes perfect thanks, I just needed to see if the rib extended to the edge.

Morning chaps, 1st sunny Saturday day here in south wales in ages - you know the rule .. suns out grinders out 😉 Id like to patch up the mounting holes, does anyone have a photo of the front edge.? 8C596E73-140F-4BB7-91CD-01CD2F24754D.jpeg Im also going to have to make/buy the roof-to rollbar pieces...

HI Chaps It's been a while, However I have now sorted out the gear linkage and I have a reliable reverse.. Huzzzah..! it took me F@*!!ing ages though. and included highlights of being run over by my wife while I was lying underneath and her stopping with the left rear tyre on my chest.!! The trick w...

Hi Dave, I've tried something similar without success, however I'll try it again while holding the flange in position.
cheers.

Hi Chaps, not much progress Hemi is running sweet with instant start - possibly not a good thing, as I found out on the weekend. I've been trying to get reverse gear and failing.! There seems to be a lot of play in the linkage inside the tower, while I was under the Haf twiddling the shift rod addin...

Jeff, have you resolved the issue with reverse as I am having exactly the same issue selecting reverse and am about to lift the platform to get into the tower.
I've tried various shims and tweeking the 3 hole flange from the tower left and right to no avail.

Hi Chaps, hope you all made merry over the holiday period and 2023 brings you all what you deserve. Hemi is running sweet now many thanks for the helpful comments, next job is to reliably find reverse... :roll: and in the longer term make electronic replacements for the points. However while navel g...

OK I have it idling sweet as a nut, I replaced the jets with the correct NOS items.. Many thanks James @ Haflinger parts. I had a long think about what was happening and a look at the parts drawing showing the path of the idle fuel.. and found I had put the gasket between the base and the carb body ...

Merry Christmas everybody ..!
I hope the forthcoming year brings you health & happiness.

hopefully one of Santa's elves will pull his finger out and sort the idle out on Hemi.

Gren.

Well I've had some time to fiddle over the weekend and I found the l/h idling air bleed "screw" was partially blocked, while I had the top off I thought I'd check everything again. The main jet was a 107.5 rather than 110 as identified by the parts book and has been a little mullered with ...

Ah that may explain why the base plate looks different to other Haf carbs I've been googling I wonder if the porker carb had seals fitted in the butterfly shaft.!
