Nice work on the bolt Jonesy. I'm yet to give it a try but will let you know how I get on when I find the time (and balls). I was in Hobart during the week and was about to go searching for Auto parts, then remembered that you cleaned the place out already
I didn't bother bidding on the choke on ebay, as at $70 it was a bit rich, but did pick up one almost as good for $50 which will sort out my Roto just fine.
I had my eye on that ebay bundle aswell, but pulled the pin at $1300. Would have been nice to land those parts as it would have nearly finished off my Auto, but I'm sure another rear flap and skirts will turn up sooner or later. Will be focusing on the model 2 for a while, as I should be getting the deck back from the shop this week coming.
Blue, I've got a few questions on the model 2 - hope you can help!
I'm short a snorkel, and was wondering what my best option would be for replacing it. Would a cut down later model do the job, or can they be sourced elsewhere?
Did the tin wheels originally have a copper sleeve/bush and circlip or a splitpin?
Is the correct throttle cable the one with the metal elbow at the carby end or the standard cable as on the model 5?
Was the rear axle painted green?
Got a million other questions but will give it rest for now
