Absolutely,been thinking of goin' over to American river for months.Soon as this weather settles down we'll do it.(must give the machine it's 100 hourly some time this week)Thanks Zyg, yeah I installed the cable operated brakes and was never happy, hydraulic brakes are great, I don't need them and always happy to help out another Drifter Pilot.I've added an orbit of your house to my usual coastal run just to let you know I'm out there, I hope you neighbours don't mind too much. I hope the New Year has begun well for you and I look forward to another jolly about the place when you are up for it. Hey, fancy a run over to KI in the coming weeks ? -
Mornin' Pat,XP,are you blokes aware that you can get the whole brake assy.excl.the drum from Lockwoods in Florida for $40us?

Timbo,I've just done a gbox oil change on my 582 & the rotax manual says to use either SAE 140 EP or 85W 140 EP.I used the Castrol 85W as it's been in this engine for 780 hrs & wear seems minimal.Cheer's,Zyg. -
Finally got one machined up by a bloke with a cnc machine.Now heHas programmed it more can be made for about $50,should anyone need one.

Thank's Maj,tried that,but all they had was a new marine plastic cap & flange which would mean removing the old alloy flange,& that's glassed into the tank ,so I'll probably get one machined up as Mr Drifter USA suggests.Cheer's.I'd hazard a guess at a marine shop, they do carry the one's fitted to my Lightwing..........................Maj...

Thank's mate,seems like the way to go.Good photo,I'm guessing the RH one's the original?A few years ago I lost two fuel caps in a row and I still have no idea why. I had one remaining from a stored belly tank which I took to a local machine shop and the owner created an exact copy. This is in Georgia in the US, so I assume you have more economical alternatives locally. And yes, the holes were added for a lanyard ... -
Thanks David,I'll give him a call.Cheer's Zyg.Hello Zyd, welcomre to the forum, I can't help you with a fuel cap unfortunately but have you given wayne fisher a call, he should be able to help -
Thanks Thirsty[you know there's a cure for that?] I've been meaning to get over there for a while,it's where I learned to fly back in ''98.Ditto if you ever fly up to Murray Bridge (Recreational Pilots Academy). And welcome to the site. -
Yeah mate,I fly over to Goolwa quite often.I actually hangered it there from Oct to Feb in one of Geoff's hangers & spent many hours tooling over Hindmarsh Island & Milang,beautiful.Welcome from a fellow South Aussie. If you ever fly that Drifter over to Goolwa let me know, i'd love to check one out :) -
G'day everyone,I'm new to this forum caper but it seems like a great way to gain info & support from other Drifter owners.That said,does anyone know where I might get hold of a fuel cap? I seem to of um lost one! Cheers Steve.

Just joined the website so thought I'd introduce myself.I've owned an SB 582 Drifter since Oct last year & have flown around 75 hrs in it.Loving every minute up there! Looking forward to chatting with other drifter pilots about these marvellous machines.
Anyone know this drifter

I saw it at Natfly in Narromine in 1999 when it was brand new! I think I still have the photo's somewhere.
