Cool, see you up there

Bit of a long shot I think but asking on the offchance that someone might have a good set of ca18 rods.
Rebuilding my a15, ca18 rods would save me having to bore the little end of my a15 rods to 20mm to suit my Mazda pistons

I used ATF years ago. Seemed to work.

Unfortunately for me I can't make it that weekend! Bugger.
Going to leadfoot festival.

Bummer about that bottom hose coming out at the wrong angle

That's a nice looking pulley Bart. Is the outer part aluminium and the inner steel? I'll keep it in mind but at this stage I'm leaning towards making a new one piece steel pulley in a smaller diameter. Your one looks like it would have limited scope for reducing the diameter?

he didn't exactly say it needed a full rebuilt, said it wasn't quite as good a condition as it was supposed to be. a cars condition is a pretty subjective thing as he's obviously driven a few nice cars in his time so would probably have pretty high expectations

Probably a dumb question but can you still get the aftermarket replacement exhausts for these cars? When I worked at Repco we had a shipping container full of exhaust pipes. Was a while a go now though to be fair.

Bart, have you got a pic or some info on that pulley Bart? Is an under driving one?
Am now considering making one a bit smaller than standard.
Mine has split through the keyway.

Ron, thanks, will give you a ring when I figure out exactly what I'm going to do.

After an A15 crankshaft and front pulley, or possibly complete short or long block, condition and price dependent.
What have you got?
