Tentative plan at the moment is too meet up at the BP/McDonalds at Milton Rd, Milton, parking at back of maccas or in streets behind. Head out on Waterworks Rd/Mt Nebo Rd/Mt Glorious Rd. 1 stop @ 27km @ Jollys lookout carpark. Then a 63km run to Somerset Dam picnic area, probably a 2nd stop to be decided. maps to follow soon.

yer count us in, just let me know a time for the nilton maccas meet up, maybe phil and i can meet somewhere and drive to milton together. just dont expect me to go fast as my car wont go over 2500-3000rpm.

Some mud maps for the cruise. I guess the time will depend on when Micah and Gold Coasters are planning to leave. TBA. No plan for return trip, either back using similar route or a more relaxing drive to the Bruce Hwy via Kilcoy.

If we end up parking in the undercover carpark at the rear of Ronnie's in Milton, might be a good idea to at least buy a 40c cone, thus avoiding any loitering issues which may arise.

Ok, so the Gold Coast (1st) meeting point will be at Coomera BP at 9.00am, with a 9.30 departure time. According to whereis.com, it should take us around 40 mins to reach Black st in Milton (Chook's meeting point), so I assume we'll leave a short time for any latecomers to arrive, and anticipate leaving there at around 10.20am-10.30am, then it's on to Chook's route. I am going to perform a full recce run this weekend, to determine any potential issues with roadworks, etc.

I am waiting on a large number of contact ph#s etc, and need to know what you guys want to do for lunch: bring your own, or contribute cash/food toward a bbq (if we go this way, I will need to know how many passengers/extras are coming, so we can get enough food and drink).

Info has now been added to first page

If you have any queries, please pm myself or Chook.

Cheers,

Micah

Micah, I drove the route today up to the Mt Nebo/Mt Glorious intersection, road is good. However the Jolly's lookout carpark only holds around 15 cars, as 1/2 is parking for motorbikes, empty today but on a Sunday might be hard to park all our cars. There is a another carpark further down the road on the same side, WESTRIDGE OUTLOOK, parking for around 25 I reckon. If you do the reccy run, could you check out what the parking is like there on weekends ? Simon

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
