The 34 has the stock bore Babbitt engine in and is so very smooth. and a pleasure to drive. and they must have been a revaluation when new.
After I fixed the loose spindle pin,it steers great, with one hand on the wheel and over the whoopdys and pot holes it stays straight.
My repaired fuel gauge is fairly accurate looks nice with the red fluid.
So far around 850 klms up to this morning ,before I went sightseeing in the farm lands out east of Moree.
Eng used no oil and is still clean, coolant has not moved and stays around 75-80C.
I had put new woven linings in the front and adjusted them all up.it would stop on a 5c piece now and is very comforting to be in traffic now.
Yesterday I did my first stint on the main hiway(Newel) and had no problems with traffic
I have come the inland way via Miles and Goondiwindi.
I would like to see the suspension on the road from Moonie to Goondiwindi as it was like a roller coaster,I was warned about it so had dropped my speed a bit,luckily. But no bits fell off or shook loose.
Tomorrow I have another rest day before catching up with the other club members from Brisbane
If you look closely at the last pic there is a top dressing plane doing a pass .
