Title: WTB 38 spline steering boss 500/600
Post by: 126dave on April 10, 2012, 10:17:41 AM

as fits the earlier 500 and all the 600's..... used and abused not a problem, but must be cheap....malaysian ringgit doesnt hold much value against the good old pound !!

hi, yea, more expensive than they rightly should be !!!, and a fortune for me here spending in ringgit...... the 600? yes, almost finished now, running with 850 coupe discs, lowered suspension/reversed eye, cromodora cd11's---  also 903cc engine from a 127. with sport coupe carb and exhaust modified to freeflow muffler, oil cooler up front and abarth boot struts for the engine cover...... inside is stripped out, with cobra low back classic buckets and a few 'worry' gauges ;) its great fun to drive, and red lines at 7k rpm in 4th gear...... thats 145 KPH by my GPS !

paint job next, thinking gulf colours.....   but fed up with the bus sized steering !!!

"Walkabout Rusty" here , just back from a Kiwi beer tasting session. It was more checking the nose and taste notes rather than good old fashioned slurping so checking my mails etc and slurping some Tui and maybe a Steinlager or two. Just been reminded that our flight takes off in 7 days and 40 minutes time so can check steering wheels when I get back.
Off on a road trip in the morn and taking in the "Forgotten Highway" and it's raining so could be fun  ;D

yes radiator at the back, oil cooler up front, electric fan on the rad, and a scoop under the car, capillary gauge shows 90-100c at top speed in 35c ambient, so its ok....... pictures are a hassle, need to upload to imageshack or some place? will look into it.
