Re: Project Brandy
Yeah awesome mate. Isn't it great when you get something that just fits(apart from the yoke obviously).
Re: Project Brandy
... and the exhaust
Re: Project Brandy
Thanks guys, new yoke turned up today so that was quick. Let's hope it is a simple fix.
As Hybrid eluded too the solenoid on the GV is extremely close to my exhaust. Not sure what to do here but may need to modify the exhaust. A wrap will help but it is super close. Left hand side

Re: Project Brandy
Wrap and a dent will help for now. Buy a couple of mandrels the right size and we can fix it before it's back on the road if you want. Very easy job while it's on the hoist.
Re: Project Brandy
Use those welding skills hey mate?

Re: Project Brandy
If you want wrap I have heaps of it
Re: Project Brandy
Move it. Do not leave it that close, wrapped or not.

Re: Project Brandy
Ok, been a while since an update. Where I left it was the GV was in but the yoke didn’t fit properly and the exhaust clearance was an issue. Gear Vendors jumped quickly on the yoke issue and after a couple of new ones were sent and a bit of white grease it slipped in nice so that was sorted.
Got the tailshaft shortened (it is quite a short one now) and spent some time today re-installing the tailshaft and modifying the exhaust thanks to the skills of Hybrid’s mig welding. A lot of fun actually getting the right bends etc. we actually nailed every cut first go which was a pleasant surprise. Photos of it all below.
