Head gasket replaced, still continued with timing issues and idle hunting until realising there was an air leak when they cut and shut my intake manifold... Glad to have that issue sorted

Waiting on a maddest clutvh pedal and I'm taking it for a drive!!!!!!

Hi.. 1st.. awesome build ! I read through your entire thread and maybe I missed it, but what did you do for a drive shaft ?

gday mate, thx for reading..
i had a custom tailshaft made to suit the T50 gearbox front and datsun diff rear.. i had both tailshafts and asked the guys to join them for me...

Thanks for the information. I have everything 4ag, just got a Ute and saw your post... which gave me motivation to do the same. Well, I wont be able to restore the truck for some time, but the motor I can start on.

thanks again !

Best of luck, it's good value combination.
Any more questions just ask! Happy to help

Bent my original clutch pedal trying to take it out on its first drive, the maddest one is super strong and I'm about to install it

Any tips to swapping pedals ,looks simple but as always these things never are.. I think I read once the heater box needs to be removed? Can anyone confirm.....
