Parts run to Twin City Kenworth yesterday and spotting all these beaut SAR "Legends" going out to their new owners.
So good to see manufacturing is NOT dead in building these Oz specific trucks. This one caught my eye being gold and on demountable rims. (spiders)

It was yesterday evening, but reading about the crooked tree made me chuckle. It must have been infected by the Lygnophylla Kareniiensis pathogen, as trees don’t experience Peyronie’s Disease.

We might have one leftover machine screw, there was a mix-up of screws in another part of the reinstallation and we had one too short towards the end - so a bolt was ratted from the shop collection of stray bits. Otherwise going to plan, pretty much.

Greatest difficulty is in selective repair, factory-correct dissembly and reassembly is just a long, iterative process. But if you want to replace a thermostat or de-carbon the intake, it’s a right battle because the clearances between engine components are so minimal.
Vehicle should be driving off into the sunset with its owner tomorrow; looking forward to it. |

It was late yesterday actually, but successfully fishing a male RCA terminated video cable down a super skinny length of convoluted rubber trunking. Thank G_d for silicone spray; they might be advised to keep it in maternity wards.
