Tech Spam thread - because 1/4" BSP gets 5 hand spans to the jiggawatt
smokin'joe replied to Roman's topic in Tech Talk
could be very wrong, but...…. when I was doing dual air gauges for jap truck compliance, there was an outfit in CHCH that was supplying Jap metric to BSP/NPT for the conversion, Transpecs ???????? am away in boonies ATM, but try your local brakes company.. i'd be surprises if BNT don't have access to them. -
@RUNAMUCK already voted, waiting for the entry form

if Hanmeat goes ahead, kinda thinking i might trailer the scrubby truck up (as no way am i driving that drafty bloody thing from Timaru !!) or bring townie up if i get a few things done to it first
-
crossing that bloody snow covered saddle past Lake Whasitcalled.
-
who has a really long trailer so we can ferry many 4wds to attempt a 'crossing' !!
-
what brand would you prefer !!! a fella i know is getting them in, and i guess others will be too, unless they are not in fact Chinese, and are made in a by his clever brother in UK?

i'm calling your bluff , Mr Ritchie. you want to savour the flavour of the DoBro snags at Riversdale butchery. BTW, when do you head back to the pig island ? -
i wanted a price for 350mm long, 180lb/in coilover springs and Bilstein inserts. Chris was adamant i needed to send the entire unit up for him to measure and fit, then charge a 're-valvling fee for an off the shelf part. have also heard some of his rebuild parts are not the real deal, but merely a knock-off
-
@idealneil........ Techneil in CHCH. does real rebuilds up to WRC spec. after the limited contact with Chris at Suspensiontech i wouldn't waste my time with thim
-
good in theory, but use heavy grease on drill bit to avoid ingress of swarf, weld a threaded insert on there so you can change the oil grade if to soft/ stiff

good work on the bonnet, mine was in better nick, but was told it would be $1500 to get real good again!!, maybe i didn't need the spendy one from Aussie ?? radiator looks like CR39 Liteace van (can measure one here for you) , but the EA82 Subaru Leone had a similar one from memory -
@cletus , what's your take on the legality of a non-welded twin master set-up like this : as i am going with Wilwood 4-pots on front of Levin, i am thinking a bias system will be easier to tune than mucking around with M/Cylinder sizings . Fanx

might as well be. i'm not fit for public display

funny you should mention my common mistake !! went to weld up the crate on the scrub truck, and realised i done it again. just as well the bottle was only 1/4 full, and the refill is free on the BOC Home D plan
