Waking up on Sunday and finding new videos from you, Steve and Pete makes for a brilliant day. When I saw you pulling on some of those tight bolts made me think, no job is finished til a wrench slips and you skin a knuckle. Wish I could be there to help.
Thanks for noticing them Brad. I'd like to get more to the next Mack Muster but it will depend on how many spare trailers and truck drivers I can find!
Thanks Matty I appreciate the comment mate. Mack changed the style of water manifold around 1970 and the heavier cast pieces were used and they lasted a lot better than these early ones.
Probably a silly question, but would internal ceramic coating help to preserve the manifolds you have left ?? Been watching a bloke over in the States fixing up a MC Mack. BrockZ and Mackz... is channel. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting idea Stephen. I reckon it would work well on a better base material. While ever these pieces are so corroded and porous, I reckon it would be difficult to get the coating to seal properly.

Thanks Geoffery, it's nice to read your comment. haha yes we are only a slip of a spanner away from having a bad day
Thank you for taking your rigs down for the muster. Was great to see so many trucks in one place

I’d love to over my services in any way I can, even if it’s just driving my car running drivers back and forth
Great little F model, maybe my favourite one from your collection David.
Gday, amazing how corroded that manifold was but considering the age it’s not to bad really, looking forward to the next episode mate, cheers

Thanks Dave for the vid cobber. You need that Steve bloke to help you mate, lol 🤠
I reckon he would be pretty handy down here in a supervising role mate!
