20+ I reckon. I didn't have my camera with me so I don't have any pics. Relying on @CamZH, he took many

Dauntless

Ugh, would've came along if I had a heads up about it.

jamesinc

There were ads in Rolling! Or are you a non-club outsider? *hisssss*

I told you about it! Quit being a gronk

Forg

Where was it?

It used to be held down Prince Edward Park ... but I think it got moved?

I knew it was on, but (a) had Family Commitments and (b) didn't have a Volvo.

jamesinc

It was at The Hills Lodge in Baulko / Castle Hill

Rob

Well I wasn't even there but thought it warranted its own thread.

I had to steal photos from facebook etc. so credit to the people who took them not me.

some nice cars...

Anthony

Thanks for the display day compile page Rob.
One of the pics features a white 240 with turbo conversion - fitted looks like an 850 pwr steer reservoir and pump.
Anyone know the owner for me, or know more about fitting one?

Thanks
Anthony
Ran the 242GT T at the Bathurst round of NSW hillclimb champs on Saturday, 5th/18 in class.

CamZH

that sounds like @Slowbrick‌ 's car.

Actually my Mrs manned the camera most of the day, looks like they will be going into Rolling.
I'll have a look through and pick out some goodun's

jamesinc

I'm fairly sure that power steering reservoir/pump setup was standard on some 240s.

CamZH

Here's a few phone snaps.

Hmm, the old K-Jet engines had a sort of triangular tin reservoir mated above the pump, then the reservoir went outboard to the chassis fender.
The pic shows a square plastic unit above the pump, and think the 850 onwards had this square intergrated style. Hmm again.

Hmm indeed, I recall my '92 did have the reservoir on the strut tower. Googling around I can see a number of images of 240s with this style reservoir though, so I assume it must be indigenous to certain MYs. @Slowbrick‌ what year is your 240?

CamZH

I took some pics with some false colours n added blur.
I like em, but they are not for everyone...

CamZH

Rob

they look like toys.

CamZH

Yeah, I never really realised that they do with that kind of filter.
But arent they toys ? :)

Yup that's my car. I got my engine from a 90 240 gle with a b230fx. My car is an 87 and had the remote reservoir originally. I have seen a few 240s with the onboard reservoir. It seems to be a 90+ thing but not all have this style.

AshDVS

90 is B230F. 92 and 93 are B230FX
My guess is that either you sourced it from a 92 or 93 car or the 90 that you sourced it from had an engine (and accessories) swapped at some point in it's life.

My 90 240 had the external reservoir on the pass side strut tower.
The 93 240 we had used the same reservoir on top of pump setup your car has.
