picnic at hanging rock
sunday 13th feb 2005
for all veteran, vintage and classic cars, street rods, customs, bikes, commercials and pedal powered vehicles
Not your average car show!!

hanging rock is approx 75km's from melb. take the calder fwy, woodend turn off and follow the signs

also check where the wipers bit sticks through to the outside....had a small leaking problem there and fixed it with a quick squirt of silastic

hey mik i've got some on my old a12, 1973.
don't know if they're what you want but if they are, you're welcome to them ???

also know a guy who'll do pretty much anything you want if you get really desperate

thanks dattoman_1000 .......

guess most of the others are more interested in going fast than stopping ???

i used to be of the opinion that the pedal in the middle was only for an emergency .... then, as i grew older realised that it could also make you go faster when used well ??!!

i'll open up the range of response availability.... what about master cylinders with boosters ???

i've looked in the tech section, and i've run a search .... but just interested to know what master cylinders - no booster - people are using and with what brake upgrade ??
i've just about finished reco'ing a set of stanza struts and brakes and i already have a tandem master cylinder, but it's leaking.

any input/advice would be good

in anticipation of your responses cheers guys

dattodude ..... just scrolled through all the potos of your build .... absolutely amazing!!!! so much time, love, experience has gone into it not to mention $$$... i'm lost for words ??!!

congratulations, i'm sure your hanging out to get that first drive as soon as possible

hey 4nik8 if you havent got anyone looking at fabricating bits and pieces, g/box cross members, intercoolers, oil coolers, exhausts ect etc there's a place in Brooklyn called Forte Performance. it's run by a young guy called nick and he'll make pretty much anything up...aluminium, stainless, mild ....
last time i was in there he's in the middle of fitting a bigblock into an RX3
he's also done a bit of work with skylines and comodes
good luck
