XTREME KARTS XF

Yeah temp gauge reads and works fine, its the standed cluster so oil pressure warning light works. Thanks for the link, i'll have a read of it for sure

Hey fella's I have 2 carbys that i want to rebuiild I want to overhaul the Carter Thermoquad that i got off a mate of mine, now i know some people dont like them and they can be a bit of a pain to tune but i want to give it a crack myself. How hard is it to rebuild one? And the 600 Holley that came with the wagon (parts car) works ok but i would like to put a kit through it at some stage. Again how hard is it to rebuild a 600 Holley? its got vacuum secondaries.

Thought i'd bring this thread back from the dead. The 600 Holley is in desperate need of an overhaull, i've noticed that theres a Quickfuel gasket kit as well as the Genuine Holley kit. What brand of gasket kit should i get? Of course i wanna re-kit it myself

My XF has a mix of TRW and Roadsafe and the XD has TRW. The upper balljoints in the XF need replacing and they are Roadsafe ones, going to fit TRW balljoints. My mate brandon's step father Gary bought Wasp parts for brandons mums HZ Holden ute.

By the sounds of it they have mushroom faces on them, if you force them out you will damage the lifter bores. Proburbly the best way to rmove them is to leave them in there stuck position and carefully remove them from the bottom with the camshaft removed.

Unbolt the front bar with its mounts from the chassis rail, 4 bolts all up, 2 each side. I've found that sometimes there can be 3 each side. Just be careful when you put them back in otherwise you'll cross thread them.

Breaker one breaker one, Glenn do you copy over?

Something like this Justin?

Hey fellas, As the title saids i want to install speakers in the doors of my BnS basher, i was given these door cards 3 or 4 years ago. Any suggestions for mounting the speaker?

Hey fella's A mate of mine has an XB with the 250 log motor and needs to adjust the rockers, whats the correct clearance to set them at? Also do need to bleed down the lifters or are they a solid type of cam instead of hydraulic? Its the original engine so no flashy "go fast bits" etc. I've never played around with the eariler sixes so i thought i better ask first.

Yeah true, well i adjusted them and they seem to be fine now apart from the bad exhaust leak, someone forgot to put the last bolt in for the exhaust manifold at somestage.

Backing plates will be different and the handbrake cable too, not sure on disc size though. Far as i know it should all bolt straight up......

Picked up a pair eariler this week, they came out of an XG S Pac I like your work Q, very nice Might do that sorta thing with the XD.

Half a turn past zero lash on other words? Feeler gauges required like with roller rockers?

Its rattly after he took it to Adelaide, engine doesnt missfire or anything.

I've got mechanical gauges in my BnS basher. I used copper line for the oil pressure gauge instead of the nylond shit that comes with the gauge. I had a mechanical water temp gauge but it fucked up so i threw it in the bin. Heres my setup Started with 3 gauges under the dash Now back down to 2 gauges, relocated the UHF too The tacho partly covers the speedo Copper oil line FTMFW!!

Fella's im in need of some help here, I mounted up spot lights on the rollbar i bought for my BnS basher and theres no power getting to the lights, theres power to the relay and it clicks, i've tried 2 other relays as well. I tested the lights before and they work. Any ideas why theres no power to the spot lights?

Didnt think of that Steve, cheers mate!! Even some 30x30 will work. People told me to drill and bolt though the rollbar but i didnt want to crush the tubing, if i was going to do that i'll machine up some crush tubes/sleeves in a lathe, drill the holes and bolt the light in place.

The base bolts to the sqaure tubing and the light bolts to the base, i aimed the spotties by eye, really i cant weld the tubing to the rollbar.

Theres a down side to welding that square tubing to the rollbar, how am i supposed to aim the spot lights to the middle of the road instead of being all over the place lol

Height rule? What height rule? :ph34r:

Well i fitted a 35 amp fuse and they work!! Fuck me they are great, just need to aim them along with the ones on the bullbar.

I bought a pack of 35 and 50 amp fuses, i've used 4mm wire but i may need to rewire them again.

The spotties on the rollbar have there own relay but very much wired up the same as the ones on the bullbar.
