Yeah that rain belted down and the thunder certainly got my attention (that and the dog going nuts!).

I thought I was hard done by when I opened my garage door to find that water and a layer of silt had found it way across most of the floor...looks like you copped it worse David. Where did all the missing corrugated iron end up?

P.S. I owe you, so if you need a hand nailing it all back on send me a PM.

Any other damage, was pretty bad hey. 230am it hit us

crikey

Was planning a bit more work on Kermit today but we had a big Storm over night. Now I have a more 'open plan' environment.

Nissan 11826-H1900 or 11826-H1000, discontinued but some dealer may have stock left http://www.nissanpartsdeal.com/parts/nissan-hose~11826-h1000.html

if you make your own, be aware there is a flame-arrestor baffle in the hose end that goes in the rocker cover

slow progress but there's more in the engine bay now

anyone know where i can get a new breather hose that comes out of the rocker cover?

it need to be the old style one like in the photo

Lucas (prince of darkness) dizzy.

Also just picked up a couple of rear sedan windscreens, one with the the chrome! Thanks to Luke from Sydney who brought them with him to Melbourne.

Does your A12 have a Lucas distributor, what does that look like? Or is it a large-cap Hitachi D4F?

Still putting stuff together.
Bought new plugs, leads, filters and a dizzy cap.
loaded it up with oil and radiator fluid.... just have to check over the timing and the valve gaps.

FYI here's the Bosch number for the early sedan dizzy cap (Lucas replacement)

It's physically bigger than the ute dizzy cap


Also tried to give him a touch up paint and caused a few runs .... 2 steps back
