Banpei's new TA60 family cruiser

[banpei]

Another week, more progress!

Today I managed to remove the rust from the T-pipe on the rear axle. There was no other rust to be found, so I guess this part is what they complained about.


I removed the rust with a wirebrush, sanded it down to smooth surface and then applied a deruster. Once it was dry I applied two coats of black paint, for as much as I could reach the damn thing.

I investigated the exhaust and the leak does not appear to be due to the gasket. Back in 2009-ish the exhaust got replaced and apparently it was a TA40 exhaust sold as a TA60 exhaust. This meant the workshop had to extend the exhaust with a small piece of generic exhaust pipe. I think it's the pipe that is now leaking. I'm not sure yet how to solve this myself, so maybe I'll just ask the workshop if they can take care of it.

Final point is that the headlights need adjustment. I tried to find the adjustment screws but there aren't any on the headlight unit itself and none on the bracket. Also both the Carina workshop manual and Carina owners manual don't tell you how to adjust. I'll go through the Japanese workshop manuals and see if I can find it in there...
I found this in the Japanese workshop manual and [1] says there are four screws at the back to adjust. I was expecting them at the front like with the Trueno.
