  1. @ paul the first glass bonnets were imported from the states ,they had to be reinforced for the aussie roads or lack of .the brambles and Aitken transport bonnets were specially modified in Brisbane by ............ old timers has kicked in as they were the manufactures for the bonnets steve
  2. as we say in oz BULL SHIT I have 350 4 valve with tip turbine goes like the clappers
  3. hey karl you kept the trip quiet mate ,do you think that you could sneak a couple of e9's back in your bags mate,i don't think "D" would mind would she???? steve
  4. Timmyb PAI DOORS ARE CRAP!!!!!! they don't even fit in the opening
  5. mr black the best way to deal with this issue is to give me a call and organize a time,it's too hard to do this by messages steve 0423524565
  6. mr black i'm in bris the 797 is work in progress ,more photos to come as work proceeds[time and money].superliner 1 used the 700 mount, superliner 2 used a fabricated mount that was taller,just remember mta was manufacturing parts to suit our conditions and needs so they are uniquely aus
  7. mr black, mate where are you in oz for a start ,what do you have to start with ,photos would be a help to work out your plan of attack .look on hcvc web site restorations my 797 is on there steve
  8. I used everything off a 320 ,nothing special was done .the 350 4v turbo 4le flows less than a 5316 by the way 285/320/350 2v all use the same turbo . if mack had changed the cylinder heads to 2v they would have also changed the camshafts being they are totally different .I've used this setup for over ten years on this engine and it stills pulls as hard today as it did when i did the change 10 odd years ago,it's a working truck not a show truck
  9. 2 stacks what do mean NO .I put a tip turbine on my 350 4v e6 years ago and it works very well,so I don't know where you get your info from to make a statement like that
  10. mr black a 237 will out pull a 350 small cam cummins all day every day ,don't forget our speed limit here is 100k not 70+ mph like the yanks have ,I had a 237 with a12speed new from the factory, the beauty of a 12 or a10 speed mack box you can drive them as a five speed or split unlike a bush ranger.don't forget that most of the road trains of 70's were r600's with 237 @ 120 t rating. so it's capable of doing the job

  14. TC where in oz are you ,i have a manual for 866 .email me @ rhonda.f@bigpond.com steve
  15. cruise liner mate is it the rh side wearing out more than the left??? if it is that is normal in oz its to do with the geometry of the front axle because of the camber on our roads ,you can rectify the problem by having the kpi changed ,that will fix the wear issue but it will be pig to hold steady on the road all i do is swap r to l and flip the tyres on the rims to try and get decent wear [i run 660 double coins 295 on the steer i get a good run out of them. i've tried top end tyres, down to budget tyres and i've found d/c's work well. hope that can help you. steve
