Thanks for the shout out brother. Finished of the Toyota Tip Tour series this week. Back to van updates soon. Good tools make mistakes easier to fix. 👍🏼
Nice video Steve. I would much rather be working on an older vehicle anytime than the junk made today. I recently bought a metric set of ratcheting wrenches, and I really like them. See you next time.
Love the homemade spacer. :D Fan works more efficiently if it's spinning in the mouth of the cowling. That's probably why the homemade spacer was there, to align it better.
It's a piece of acrylic road sign or something I think, as I said, works well :-) It is still a bit misaligned a bit, I may need to move the radiator down a bit maximize the draw, seems to be running way way cooler now with the few minor mods and repairs... till the next thing goes :-)
Good on ya Mark, Barker is the first of our dogs to have the hose/water obsession, makes watering the veggie garden a lot more entertaining, she is a clown :-) Glad you enjoyed the guitar work, been playing and writing a little more of late being stuck indoors with the weather.
Good job mate! Those wrechet spanners are very handy indeed. I have them in metric and standard. Have to buy them twice because of a break in a few years ago.
Consider fitting some copper flyscreen behind that grill to protect the radiator tubes from gravel strikes flicked up from on-coming cars. they are easily punctured & the first thing you know about it is an over-heated car kilometers from the nearest water source. Do you know about the black pepper & 3 egg white radiator leak fix?
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia It will get you out trouble, I've had radiator leaks patched that way that have lasted years in service, I don't know if it would fix a leaky bellow seal.
If the batteries for the EV conversion are to expensive what about chucking a lil petrol generator in the car, i know its not the same but if its got portable power you can get it moving and start testing. Then when a go fund me pages gets u the coins u can put batteries in.
Motor is almost 9 kw, that's a big generator (and expense). We are going to up the effort to find a sponsor over the next month or so. Started on the gear box this week, as usual have to use 2 boxes to build one good one, it's no wonder I am time poor :-)
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia Ah full on. I didnt realise it was such a big motor. Do it right, do it once, as they say. Im sure at least a few of your viewers would be happy to throw a few bucks each into the ring. Cheers mate. Thanks for the videos i love em.

Green bible and parts catalogue is a must have! Great fix!!
Thanks Cory. You are cracking along with your restoration now I see, great work.

Thanks Jeff, I also go a metric and whitworth set, nice to use I reckon. Keep on wrenching :-)

Thanks Steve. My dogs are the same with hoses. Sprinklers drive them crazy! A nice bit of guitar this week too 👍

Cheers Steve. With you on books
Thanks Owlpool, I am starting to build a collection of Landy bibles now, some of my favorite reading :-)
Nice work. I printed all the manuals off and laminated them so I can use them in the shed
Sounds like a lot of printing and laminating Smurf, your a patient man :-)
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia yeah it has taken a few years.but worth it

Bugger about having your tools pinched Martin, there are some shitbags around. I actual got a metric and a whitworth set also, loving them.

Good call, I will get onto that. I had heard about that patching technique but I think repairing the gasket is a better outcome :-)

A old school manual just works so much better than a pdf file on a Tiny phone screen.
Ha yes Rick, I struggle with screens, old age and glasses make it even harder :-)
I wouldn't have used Permatex if I was you.
I rang a bloke that has a TH-cam channel and says he’s an expert and he said any old crap would do...
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia Permatex is good. Been using it for years.
I use that stuff, usually only on the replacement part surface and hope for the best. Some engine surfaces are too difficult to clean up next time.
Hey Steve, you should invest in a socket set it’ll save you way more time
I have socket sets, can't have too many tools :-) these are just an upgrade on my ring spanners.

Don't talk to stu too much about the landy, he'll talk you into putting a Detroit in it.
Mmmmm good idea :-)
