Little red motor.

Going into a Torana.
Should help it along a bit.
Here's another one.
Must be a craze.

Another Qld. Mk.7

Andrew Tully is very proud of his dad, Ron's, achievements in restoring his Mark 7. They're both from up Cairns way. Here's some photos from a couple of months ago.
More pictures to come shortly (after the badges are fitted).

More on Eldred Norman.

It was quite some time since we have been discussing Eldred Norman cars etc. so it was nice to receive this email from Ramon Monkhouse:-

"Just found your article on Eldred de Bracken Norman. I was assistant mechanic at the 1955 GP at Port Wakefield. My main job during the race was to re-fuel the car from a 44 gallon drum pressurized with Nitrogen oxide to give it a faster flow. One of the first teething problems with the car was that it was always tested on a straight road & subsequently got fuel starvation on corners.
 
Regards.  R"

Master cylinder

Can anyone help Vic Meyer with some advice on his Mark 7 PBR master cylinder - e.g. Does anybody recognise it?

"I have a problem with my brake master cylinder. I need a new seal kit, but I cannot work out what it is off. It is off my MK7 (with nagari doors). I have searched and searched and have come up with nothing. Yourself or one of your bolly blog followers would probably know straight away!!!! It is made in Australia by PBR, that's all I know....
Hope you can help,
regards
Vic"
