Re: Dodge A100

Great stuff! Nice to see details of a different version. What's involved in the disc conversion? What are the parts from? I have found the limits if my drums already :shock: Hi Paul, to be honest if I could go back to square one I would just buy an early B100, power everything, disks, no kingpins, ...

727 Rebuild Options

Hi all, My A100's 727 works fine it did about 1500 miles last year trouble free, I change the filter and there were no obvious problems. However it is weeping fluid out of every hole possible: 1. Speedo cable 2. At the prop (is that even possible?) 3. Selector shaft seal (For the 3rd time - I must b...

looks Bananarama! mate :lol:





Believe it or not... I miss how 'refined' it is inside.

Hi Paul,


Ace progress, I got a prop place in Bristol to bin off the ball and trunion on mine and fit a slip yoke. The ball and trunion was right buggered.


The Gabriels for the rear yes?

I managed to get Gabriels for the front also but a different 'model' and not the same colour.

What fan belt width?

Hi all, My fan belt is a 10mm gates one from the uk. It looks a little lost in the pulley grooves and can't really be gripping on the sides. What width would the belts from the factory have been? What width fan belt do you use? Where do you get them from? (I got. 13mm through the post today, before ...
