Willy,

Here is James comments on the Microtech

Microtech - $150? *, $200 with controller*

long as he knows it's not supported by microtech anymore - they no longer repair them or program them if it dies.

Rx

Bryan,

No pics but can try and get some posted for you. It's a bit awkward to get to being jammed in the garage but James is doing a clean up around it so we can get it out. Will see what we can do this weekend. Barry

Aircon

Steptoe, When I purchased this Brumby last Year noticed from Books it started life on an Aboriginal reserve in the back blocks of W.A. so I figured I best strip the cab out and do a de-dust. Got enough out to start a veggie garden I reckon. Cleaned or blew out everything that was standing still so d...

Tyres

Henpecked, I am surprised that the 195 50 15 won't fit in the spare space given the diameter is virtually the same as standard 175 70 13, is the height the problem i.e does it sit up to far. Majordad

Henpecked, what dictates the whole thing is rim diameter v profile here is comparison of rim/tyre sizes that are pretty close to the original Brumby fitment in terms of diameter and rolling circumference; Brumby wheel /tyre 175 70 13 Diameter 575.2mm Circumference 1807mm 14" wheel 185 60 14 Diameter...
