    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.

    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

    you pissing off to live back in the pig-island ??, or just a seasonal excursion ??
  12. smokin'joe
    when are you looking to by and what is it ? you may be able to pick me up on way through, or borrow my trailer if it fits............ providing it is when i am in the Catlins

    should be easy enough to re-kit them, as they will be a generic piston/seal i'd be more concerned about the wheel bearings, as the Trojan ones on my trailer were MK2? Zepher and were over $400 per hub to replace, if they were obtainable

    cheers, found that last nite, and i guess if everything is mounted as close to original bumper line, it should be ok. some of the ones i have seen, leave a lot to be desired

    @cletus does a winch bar need cert ? did search on here, but no result. fanx
  16. smokin'joe
    would repower to suit. can't be any more gutless than a HFZ !
  17. smokin'joe
    does that make it an LFD ?
  18. smokin'joe
    sorry Barry, but to correct you. RB's may have been in existance in '85, but RFB wasn't even a bunch of sperm in dad's bags in 85
  19. smokin'joe
    maybe RFB is why it has been made pre-98?
  20. smokin'joe
    1998 ain't Old or cool
  21. smokin'joe
    good score, Luke this may be the needed motivation to do something with mine!! i reckon i still have A>K50 box in shed as well as bumpers if you are wanting

    i'm sure it was Jeep that the stock car guys referenced as OEM for stock-car use... not that i own a stock-car
  23. smokin'joe
