Topic: What did you do to your non-motorcycle vehicle today?

[Terry in Australia]

my driver seat belt has been worn out for years,Ive cut n burned the fraying once or twice and its a pain to use now it gets snagged a bit,so I decided to buy a new one,only 125 bucks and made in Australia!!

Good job Dave, I replaced the driver's seat belts in both of my Ford AU utes, after 25 years of use they were both looking disgusting, so I bought new ones. I had the guys who did the work on my utes for roadworthy inspections replace them, it's not a hard job in a sedan, but it's a PITA in utes.

not mine but i drive it a lot,my work truck at a regular bin we do at a golf course,way out the way of the fairway near the green keepers sheds etc,lucky I was down the back doing hooks n chains when I heard bang,an errant golf ball through the drivers window,aborted the job and straight back to yard and spent 45 mins with their big shop vacuum getting it out,it was everywhere!its was a 15 year old kid with his dad was very very sorry etc,I said just play through the your "Titleist AVX" is in the cup holder!

We’re off to Shannonville for some lapping one evening next week. Plan to scuff in two sets of new tires and bed in a few sets of brake pads. After that it’s a weekend at Mosport (CTMP) for two X eight hour races, back to back!

I like that steering wheel Dave.
How's your power steering ?

[Don R]

 Fired it up, film at 11. Cleaned the carb twice, one time less than a cb750 takes me.

Excellent, there's nothing like accurate steering in an automobile.

Excellent, there's nothing like accurate steering in an automobile. 

The most accurate steering vehicle I have is my 72' MGB GT with manual rack and pinion. After I serviced the rack, rebuilt the A-arms with polyurethane bushings, rebushed the kingpins, replaced the tie rod ends and rebuilt the steering column there's zero play. I can feel every rock, crack, bump, dip and imperfection in the road.
It's amazing to drive.

Were you able to get the last little bit of 'bound' air bled from the master cylinder ?
Yeah,that must handle very nice;I like rack & pinion.
