That Bond 2CV had a GS engine in it

Ended up prysing the rubber gromment behind the steering wheel enough to allow oil can nozzle to fit & squirt some oil down the tube.
If it happens again I will tap a thread & stick a grease plug on the column!
Washed & polished & went for a drive to Wivenhoe Dam this arvo.
Pictures attached of clean duck.

Have you fitted the grass catcher yet GG?
gibgib said:Just did 400 miles in the 2CV, Brisbane to Kingaroy & up the Bunya mountains & back over 3 days.
Fitted the new interior earlier in the week. It matches the plum & custard paint work pretty much...
Some more piccy's.
Top shots Gerry, can't think of another car that would fit into those scenes and evoke the same feelings.. just lovely
Cheers

Great shots. Hope you don't mind if I post some piccies here in this thread too...I just want to show that there are also like-minded 2CV enthusiasts here on aussiefrogs as well! I'm back in February for another trip to various parts of Australia, maybe we could get 'em together

Cool by me.
Where did you put the reverse light on you tin snail?
What did you do to switch them on/ off?
Are you Adrian Chapman in disguise? john sTinSnail1 said:
Yes, it has a GS 1220 engine, and live hydraulics. It still even has the arrester hook underneath, used when the car jumps across a road. It's similar to the hook on a navy jetfighter. I've not seen the car, but I know the guy who owns it....a bigger citroen nerd you will never meet! He's on the board of directors of the UK CCC.chris said:That Bond 2CV had a GS engine in it

It sounds crude, but very effective! I had a 2CV guy in Perth fit a small switch to the firewall, attached to a chain, to the gear lever under the bonnet. So when the lever is moved into reverse, it pulls the chain, which pulls the switch and therefore turns the reverse light on! It's wired through the fuse that powers the fog light, which has been removed and a reverse light put in it's place.
I'm in the UK now but when I get back in Feb I can take pics and you'll see what I mean!
That sounds remarkably like what Helmut did to his 2cv when he sent it to Oz. john s
