FB ute

[Errol62]

I dodgied one up on my ute, with the common bits plus a cable tie and it ran the nasco natrad tap in the back of the 186 head very well, using a bit of pushbike brake cable and outer. Then the SUs came along and fouled the hose, so went with a cock under the dash, in easy reach of the cock behind the wheel.

Dumb question for today: are they metric nutserts?


Cheers,

Yes sadly - I bought imperial nutserts as well but having trouble finding the installing arbors

Too many trees, that’s your problem Greg.

Control thingy ended up above the battery - a couple of nutserts to hold it up

i put the "control thingy" inside the cabin just for neatness (not that my engine bays are neat)

Good job on the wipers, they can eventually drive you nuts with a clunk & knock in operation. Opportune time to fix whilst the heater goes in.

I have an intermittent control I am going to fit to the Ute the same as I have on the sedan……. one day

I have a couple of HJ-Z units here that would be easy to adapt , what have you used ??

Hey Blacky
I used this, old school intermittent control, 25 yrs old

This same unit is in the sedan, set on approx 3 or 4 secs and hidden under dash. I used the original wiper switch that has three positions.

Have seen other adjustable intermittent timers on flea bay that would also work.

I have ordered a generic delay unit - not certain it will work , if it does I will order a few more as a couple of our club members are interested in one if I can make it work.

These were the ones I thought could work off flea bay. They have adjustable on period and adjustable off period.

Should do the trick.

Got the heater finished off yesterday, all plumbed up and ready to go

Had to drill a 1.5mm hole in this screw to make a clamp for the cable


And fit it in here


I replaced the O ring in the heater tap and it is now hard to operate, hoping once there is some coolant in there it will be easier to turn - will also pull it out again and put a smear of rubber grease on it
