Hang in there Greg and Mrs Greg. A few of us have been down that road and yes there are a few pot-holes, but overall the journey is great. Just remember, friends listen and help. All the best. Rod.

Hi Macks. Would you have a contact email or phone number for the place you purchased the bracket? Thanks. Rod. The part number is 110KB 325A BRACKET, Compound hand control lever
-
Update! I've just removed the compound bracket and rails. Well, to say they are worn is an understatement. So I may have to get some better ones. May I enquire as to the cost of the bracket and the rails? Thanks. Rod.

Hi Rob, The compound rails are on the OUTSIDE (and left hand side of the main gear lever) of the gearbox. Not shown at all on your diagrams. They are allowing a lot of lateral movement and the gear lever, when positioned to LoLo, is therefore coming up out of its detents and sitting up on top of the right hand rail and won't go back down, therefore staying in LoLo. Rod. Thanks Herb. I think I will try what I thought and you confirmed.

ok guys, technical expertise required. I've been able to deduce that the compound rails have become sloppy (ie not a tight fit). What this means is that when I select Lo-Lo the lever, more often than not stays in that position, ie it has risen up on top of the rail. This necessitates taking the lever out, using a big screwdriver to centralise the rails, then put back the lever and off I go. My thoughts are (for a simple, cheap solution) to build up the sides, ever so slightly, of the bottom of the lever so it cannot come up between the two rails. Ideas? Thanks. Rod.

I could not agree more Barry. It does not matter WHO, but WHAT. Well done. I wish you all the best. Rod. -

Hi Adrian, If it is all brakes (fitted with maxi's), it is a lack of air pressure to release the maxi's. So you should look for the problem there. However, if it is just ONE brake, then it is a maxi unit that is the problem. Regards Rod.

Welcome Barry. There are quite a few Aussies here so help is not far away. Enjoy. Rod.

Embarrassed To Even Show This...

From my aviating days, this was my ruling guidline; "Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect." This applies to everything in life. Rod. -
Ditto.

What a great photo. Wouldn't you like to know what the little girl is thinking!!!! -
I used a little lateral thinking in my B61 and used 4" SCAT/SCEET aircraft hose. It's fairly cheap, can tolerate heat and is reinforced and flexible. What more could a man want??? (well..........) Rod.

I've been told that the wiring is VERY IMPORTANT to the accuracy of the gauge. Searching the net it shows wire of 5ft and 10ft (I think). It must not be cut shorter. Comments??? Rod.

Hi Guys. I would like to get a couple of Mack 12AK2189 rim clamps if anyone has any lying around in their shed. Thanks. Rod.

Personally I think your last statement is a distinct possibility. Can you use a dipstick and check your levels after a run and before your next one. Do this over a lot of runs. Most of my mates reckon they are more fuel efficient with a load ON. You may have a fuel leak, but this would be evident, so check the underside of the bonnet (hood), all around and under the engine. Rod.

I have the aluminium as a walking platform behind the cab and I made mudguards for the rears from steel checkerplate. Good material - looks good. Rod.

Hi Thad, DownUnder, we call it Checker Plate (or Checkerplate). In Google, just type in "checkerplate" to see images. Regards, Rod.

Firewall Insualtion,

Hi Monty. I've put dynamat on my firewall and under the floor. To be honest, I cannot notice the difference. Still insert earplugs and wear earmuffs. Rod. -

Man's Best Friend A dog is truly a man's best friend. If you don't believe it, just try this experiment: Put your dog and your wife in the boot of the car for an hour. Then open the boot and see which one is really happy to see you! Rob, please don't tell her this joke. Believe me they DO NOT have a sense of humour. Rod. -
Hi and welcome. I've spent a couple of days (there were no nights ) in Anchorage and also a beautiful place called Nome. Fantastic part of the world you have. So different from DownUnder Australia. Regards, Rod.
