Apparently illegal for aftermarket but has anybody fitted LED headlights to their Bellett anyway?

There's heaps of them on Alixpress/ Ebay etc in the $50 area or less. Locally they run upwards of $100 a pair.

You have to be careful too as some run on CAN bus which are not ok. Some are quite long ...

Thanks

HI
As far as I know the distributor is Hitachi. Just what other cars used the same cap, I am unsure.
But others I am sure will reply. I recently bought a new cap but right now can't locate the part number for it.

Attached though is some general info which includes the electrical with part numbers ...

I found a place in Berwick who had blanks and cut keys for me but after 3 tries basically gave up and told me go elsewhere! The keys he cut sort of worked, you had to jiggle the key around in the slot to get it to work. Each of the 3 keys he ...

Good on you guys, that was a really nice thing to do. No doubt he had a great day of reminiscence.
Nice to see the mask grille in your Sport mate, I seem to remember you having a version 3 grille before?
Keep on getting them out, that's where they shine!
Cheers, Matt.

Thats the same type as it ...

BCCV was recently approached to see if there was anybody in the Bendigo area who could visit a guy named Eric there.

Eric has terminal cancer and is not expected to live for a lot longer and he used to have a Bellett himself back in the 60's. The family told us he is always talking about ...

Well, after pulling both carbies to bits looking for 'issues' found nothing wrong. Although the rear needle was about about 3mm different to the front one. PLus the screw holding the needle in was loose. Which I thought might be the issue.......But No.

Then I looked a bit closer (well a lot) at the ...

Did this car sell?

Hi Craig

Great job on the build.

ATF = Auto Trans Fluid
Unless I am mistaken….
The oil is for dampening so at idle it shouldn’t really come into pay as it works to dampen the slide in the carby according to changing vacuum…….it would come into play when you try to take off from idle under throttle which can cause stutter….

Hi Glenn
I am sure the purist will yell at me as there is an official SU pot
Oil however
I use traditional ATF (not the modern low viscosity stuff)
Another alternative is fork oil 15 weight
The volume is only small and there should be a small mark on the dip stick dampening rod (less than 10ml off ...
