My F4

[CyCo]

As Agro said, it's time for an upgrade.

It's only a small one, I bought a house! Three bedroom brick veneer, long single garage (enough space in front of the car for a work bench), combustion fireplace in lounge room, a/c x 2 (at either end of house), single bathroom, kitchen is kinda old but that's ok.

It's not a bad sized block, sloping back yard, front yard slopes as well but not as much, driveway should be Eureka friendly.

Made the offer this afternoon and it was accepted. So I'll be moving in about 2 months.

My heads spinning!!

Sincere and heavy congrats Cyc-baby!
                                                          I'll look forward to seeing your new place sooner rather than later. Good stuff mate!

Congrats Cyco,
 I take it we will be able to hold NSW meets at your new place, seems though you are half way between Sydney and Newcastle. Ha Ha

Thanks guys.

The place is pretty much a buy and move straight in. It's an older house, the current owner is the proverbial little old lady who's lived there for 30 years. So it's been fairly looked after and she's moving on into a retirement village. One feature I never went looking for is a ducted vacuum system! lol

I'm so fed up with moving around, ever since I left home at 20 the longest I've set roots down was 6 years. I hope to be at this new place longer than that.

There isn't much room for a lot of cars on the street, let alone on the property! It's a fairly quiet area, well it will be until I move in. lol

[CyCo]

Well, yesterday mid afternoon, I picked up the keys to my house! The Office of State Revenue, those people who give out the first home buyers grant, stuffed up and it basically meant I had to wait an extra two weeks. Could have been in there by now. Need to replace carpet and a few other odd jobs and I can move in. Hopefully by the end of the month.

 

[The Metalsmith]

Good stuff Cyc-baby,
                                sms me an address when you have the opportunity. If I find time I'll come up to check your reek for the work coming up.

I don't have the net connected at home yet, so I'm limited to posting at work, and a quick look on my phone (posting from that it to time consuming!! lol).

The last few weeks have been busy with work and moving. And then the actuators on the 'reek stopped working while the roof is open. So it's still at the old place, but I don't have to move out until next saturday. Ron's comming up to help out over the week end.

Sorry I haven't been in touch Simon, but it's been a little crazy lately. lol

[CyCo]

Just a quick update whilst I have a few minutes at work. With much help from Ron, we got the 'reek over to my new place. However we had to take the actuators out as it seems that the worm gear in both units have stuffed. It seems that the keyed switch on the flank of the car was kept triggered even with the keys removed, which kept the actuators activated lifting the roof, thus stuffing the worm gears.

I'll ring Linak this arvo about shipping them down for repairs, and start the search for a new keyed switch.

[The Metalsmith]

Bummer Cyc-baby.
                              A waste of good lifters. Anyhoo, I'm after the key switches too, mate. Enough for three seperate reeks. I'll let you know if I find something first. Times ticking away...

[redreek(the stig)]

I need 1 but would like a spare.
When I return to work I will see if the eleco's can source somthing from a supplier thay my do what we want.but I have a few more weeks off with my arm problems

Dweeby has an after market switch and the guy I bought the car from installed it and got it off his shelf at Active Electrical Supplies where he works so I'll try and track him and it down and see if I can get a model number for you.

PP.

[The Metalsmith]

Right then,
                 I'll go directly to Toyota a see if I can trace a number for their electric window four runners. Probably won't be cheap but at least it'll be another option.

[Philinsa]

could do with 3 or 4 switches myself

[barsted]

I also had a stuck roof switch and it destroyed the worm drives. LINAK sold me a pair of motors, which includes the nylon worm and it cost about $250, I think. Just bolted them to the the jackscrew in place of the old ones and back in business.  I do recommend fitting a light that glows when the motors are powered, to let you know if a switch sticks again!
