this guy, Damian Trybula. has heaps of Volvo wagons and stuff like Super Snipes and BMC stuff, despite this he isn't a weirdo but a GC and in the trade.

Make contact and he'll send you the good shit.

I sent him a question asking if he had some, he is in wellington?

Not saying the loads are the same but I have done many shaft and housing repairs with belzona on electric motors.

Usually the process is:

Screw cut surface

Smear on belzona in copious amounts

Machine to std size

But the guides and packaging describe its use as per my first post.

It's great for insulating bearings on motors ( like, more KW than a car size) suffering from EDM and stuff.

Iv also done shit tonnes of metal spraying using a type of sintered bronze powder... Prefer belzona personally since you add no heat.

Sorry, I'm rambling

II will rember the name of that stuff for next time I find a loose bearing, alternators allways seem to have lose bearings, it might be good to use there.

Are crank shafts still as strong when they have been metal sprayed?

Cool thank you, I will talk to Durty,

I hate to think they would cost new, I spent $260 on bushes today and that was at trade price from the mount shop.

BELZONA 1111 sounds pretty good but I don't think it would hold out on an axle, its only a 3 thou gap, maby maby as a last shot resort I would use it

I am so depressed right now

I would say the unknowns would make me just flag reusing them and get replacement ones.

I guess the easiest way to know if you can remove and replace the shaft is to post a photo of the stub but I can't say I've ever seen replaceable shafts before - it's normally a fit and forget dealio.

I will take a photo now and put it up, looks to be part of the bottom strut. things were going too well for me with this car

If it's gone blue it may have hardened the stub axle and made it brittle - but if that proves not to be the case metal spraying is the only solution - but it needs machining down afterwards obviously.

It would have done the opposite and made it soft, I am not sure about metal spraying and stub axles, I have been told that's a no no.

is it posable to remove them from the strut or are they part of it?

My daily drive 81 Volvo 245 GLE was making a clunking sound from both front wheels, and there was play in the bearings but when I pulled it all apart it had spun the inner bearings and worn into the axle shaft and turned it blue.

What would cause this? is there anyway to fix it with out replacing the stubs? they are part of the strut. anyone got any? I need to get this done before Monday

i NEED a pa speaker for mine eh. compact one if poss. giz.

I have an 11" Arista horn speeker mounted under the front bumper on the Volvo, its VERY loud.

you can get out door horn speekers from building demolition yards. Dont mount it in the engine bay they arn't very loud if you put it in there

I am in the process of gathering the parts needed to get a CB in my car.

Probably going to get something like this:

http://www.gme.net.a...b-radios/TX2700

Does anyone know how/if its possible to output via the external speaker from the Mic?

I know that it takes an external speaker but I assume that this would just play out loud what the CB is receiving. Is it normal for a CB to have a function to work as a loud speaker?

What do you intend on using the PA for ?

It has a 6 digit phone number to some cb place in tauranga so assume will be on nz frequency. Another sticker says it meets Australian standards and its made in Japan. Antenna looks like a huge car radio antenna, it's telescopic like old bunny ears on a spring base. Ill hook it up next time I am out there and let you know what is does. I only remember not bring able to get it to work

Oh and it's on the right rear 1/4 near the windscreen

put up a pic of the antenna, I just finshed reading a very long book on cb antennas, also your feed line is probley very old and should be replaced.

CB raido repair guy,

There is a place up here called andy's CB radio service, he might be able to do it, those new cobra radios they sell have been converted for nz

27 MHz can be changed to 26 also

How do you find out what frequency your CB runs at? Mine doesnt say on it anywhere. Its a CB/PA system, PA works sweet but never managed to get the CB part working even after hooking it up to the aerial properly.

Its this old school phone looking setup here

If its a NZ raido it will be 26 MHz, what kind of antenna are you using? is it one with the wire coiled round a fiberglass rod? and where on the car is it?

a full roll of copper nicke cost me $50 something from autostop, ask if you can have it for trade price.

the steel bundy tube is hard on the cheep flairing tools,

To shorten my fords drive shaft and make a spacer for the jag diff yoke diffrent tube size and 2 cuts and 3 welds was $130 and that included painting it.

This was done by drive inn new lynn. yes you are getting raped

Oh also, I would only ever buy bib pants (if not getting ones that zipped to the jacket)

My bib pants go up my back so even when my jacket rides up my back is still covered, but lately I've been wearing leather pants and a leather jacket and the jacket rides up in the wind and bares my back, so you know exactly what will happen when you are sliding down the road on your ass...

Haha yes for some reson motorcycle jackets are short in the body and ride up so drivers can see your crack, I saw bib pants in the shop for a very good place, the budget shop onehunga has alot of nice 2nd hand leathers,

I had that woman from MSW make me a custom leather pants and jacket, its much better than goretex if your going to biker partys and playing with fire, burnouts and sleping in the bush and oil spraying round, I have Never had to wash them

Cheep helmets are alot heavier and made of thick plastic full of hard polystyrene shit and don't have a very good visor locking system, they slam shut and give you a fright i find. the more expensive helmets are much lighter and more comfortable and have a thin shell made from fancy thinn stuff witch damages very easy,

I get the cheep FFM made in nz helmets as I replace them often, when you do alot of riding they get banged up very fast,

Beleve it or not I made the exhaust system for this bike and did alot of assembly work.

Using diffrent watt bulbs will cause that light to come on

make sure the bulbs are maching sets made by the same compony

I bought an old ford ute a few years ago and after about 6 hours driving all 4 tyres had developed bulges, Thought something major was wrong and was very suprized to find it was just old tyres.

What is wrong with that? Tyre tread is a pretty important thing to not be skimping on. Surely if your car is legal, apart from some potential time at the side of the road, there isn't anything to be worried about?

When your car gets a wof and one of the conners of your tyre is slightley worn but it still passes, as it has over 1mm over 80% but the cop has other idears, shit like that.

Hopefully the cars with 6 month WOF's won't be penalised as they will most likely increase the "longevity" of the WOF with more stringent inspections.

Thats what I was worryed about to, getting your tred depth mesured on the side of the road

it's a citizen's duty to tell their local police officer to fuck off

I have lots of 245 parts if they are the same as a 360

I like the starfire motor
