Hi All
we need a new battery , we had a copy of an Odyssey PC680, it has been suggested we use a Deka, anyone had experience with them?, they are a bit cheaper than the Odyssey($330+) for which I would have to give them the Colonel and part of the Reverends breeding aparatus..

The last battery we had lasted about fifty starts and carked it, cheapskates get their just desserts I hear you say, yeah well.....

they need to be 100mmx150mmx175mm and dish out a constant 280CCA min.

adios

As recommended by Larry Perkins.
6 Times Bathurst winner and engineer.
So that lets you know that winning Bathurst is more important in Aus than being an engineer

If he won that race 6 times, he's pressing his luck.  That track's a widowmaker.

It's so I have somewhere to ash my cigarette while I'm assembling the motor?

Really , we (Dr Goggles) purchased a short motor unassembled for a reasonable price off the large auction site. It had been bored , and that's the pistons it came with. Which are pretty much all that is available for that motor on our (Dr Goggles) budget. I haven't measured them yet, but I'm guessing less than 20cc dish

The Triumph engine was in a similar state last winter.  It was a collection of good quality parts from all over the country.  The barrels, pistons, rods, and gudeon pins were packed up and sent to an engine builder who is knows about the motors and land speed racing.  I simply asked him look over the parts, see if they were OK, check the clearances, and adjust as needed.  The parts came back quickly and I measured them.  He did some honing and many clearances were looser than I would have used.  It was money well spent.  My engine might have chirped up solid if I had not done that.

Dr Goggles........I understand the opposite seasons in your world verses the perfect winter that we are experiencing on the proper side of the

Equator, butt pull up your short pants and get productive.

By the time you digest the advice that us Yanks give you, the Down Under racing season will have concluded.

Ask some kid in the 4th grade at school. He won't steer you wrong.

Oh BTY, is Christmas in June where u live?

With all benevolence,
