How did the brace go Clay? I was going to fit one one day.

I put one on my ute - didn't really make a huge difference - guess if the subframe was rusty or fatigued it might make more of an improvement ?

I haven’t driven it yet Trevor. I doubt I will notice a difference but there is a slight, very slight, clunk that I will notice if gone. It was $65 posted, easy to fit, and I’ve done everything else, bar overhaul the box, so I thought I may as well. It is a mill finish steel, so I just doused it in wax to retard corrosion.

I was too impatient to paint it and liked the mill finish. Hopefully the wax will preserve it.

Did a test run. No noticeable difference in the steering. It is faultless on the highway. Extremely slight clunk still just noticeable. Some understeer since I took off the rear bar.

Next to tackle the economy…..
I don’t think I will use that air filter though.

There are unplugged bung holes in the tops of both metering blocks. Car Parts Plus should have bungs if I need them. Supposed to have been overhauled by Outlaw Speed but I have doubts. Choke mechanism I put on it when I got it has a bit missing so I will rob the one from the 350 that Harv gave me.

Lead splitshot fishing sinkers, and some tappy tappy with a LFH.

I once had one of the Stromberg plugs come loose. Went to Carb Service Co to get some new ones. The gentleman took a BFH, and walloped the side of the carb. Seated it perfectly. Suspect he had done it a lot of times... I would have busted something if I tried it.
