New play thing
« on: March 31, 2008, 15:43:38 »
All,

Have just acquired (but not yet picked up) a new toy for the summer.

It's a 1972 SWB 2a fitted with a 2.8 Daihatsu diesel engine.  Unfortunately it's currently a non runner as the owner removed the injectors for servicing and then lost them :oops:

So, where's the best place to look for 4 new injectors for this lump?  Any pointers would be most appreciated.

Pics at the weekend when it comes home . . . . .

Thanks Ben.  But if they are indestructible, how did he break it  ;)

SWMBO is not amused at that suggestion.  She's coming round to give you a slap . . . . . .
