  1. nice find TimB

    it may have been imported by the yanks and used @ the Exmouth base .... then sold off

    as recently as 1963 that a naval town serving the US Naval Communication Station, Harold E. Holt, and the Learmonth RAAF Base, was established.

  2. keep draing all the airtanks more often

    let all the tanks drain ovrnight

    fit taps to drain tanks

    also aircleaner may need a clean

    when the compressor cuts out @ 120psi

    the compressor pistons Rfree wheelin & can suk the oil up past the piston rings n then it gets blown down into the tanks

    the above can happen if the engine & compressor use the same aircleaner

    Once it shut down on me coz I had too much water in the plastic header tank

    other things to look @ make sure all earth connections have good contact with no corrosion/rust

    also sum of the sender units may B dirty

    the sender units on the flywheel housing will have fine metal dust from wen the starter duz its bit

    jist my 2 cents worth TAX FREE

    best O luck

  6. Normally U fit narrow rims to the inside when the suspension iz flogged out

    just so the rim wont hit the chassis on a turn when driving

    we never paint the spoke where the rim fits ( U need all the clearance U can get )

    we wire brush the contact area Btween rim n spoke n studs

    then put a miniscule of oil on the thread (not enuff to spread all round the rim wen drive n )

    wen put n spacer back on rotate spacer till U find the sweet spot
