  1. a side on photo will enable ID'ing it. if it has a cast steel main case, it will most likely be W40/50. if alloy, a photo is needed to ID it
  2. was advised to use it for very low temp panel welding............not a pro welder, but seemed to create far less heat related distortion than either co2/argonsheild with MS wire
  3. interesting, i was told i needed to use str8 Argon in my mig for using silicone bronze wire....... might have a go with argon sheild next time i am doing thin panel work.
  4. is this to run a hoist on single phase ? if so, a colleague has just done this and had a huge failure
  5. shit bugger damn. run it up and down a few times to see if it was just residual fluid.....nope, still pissing out. pulled ram apart, main pressure seals quite skody, rest not too horrid, will replace is cheap enough.
  6. righto, been back on this contract as finances allow. plumbed up single stage ram with home-built trunnion mount, all good, but need to get more fluid. as the pump only allows for gravity return one-way ram, i have fitted a silencer to spare port to keep dust and shit out and to prevent air-lock ............... any issues with doing this on a 2-way ram ??, as it seems to be pissing fluid out of silencer, and wanted advice before i rip the ewe-rooter apart incase it pushing past the seals.
  7. not a painter but seen plenty of fuck ups. moisture in air will ruin your paint, as will too much prepsol when wiping
  8. what, with the fact there is no Cell coverage, make it a week of bliss!!! havn't discounted the plan, but need to either smuggle Tom into camp as a 13y-old.........nah fuck that easier to smuggle into a pub as an 18year-old !! later Jan would be better ?
  9. sorry, can't do Gore bay/Buxtons, my son is considered an adult , and that defeats the purpose of taking the him away
  10. READ AS: if you ain't got kids, there must be a designated adult in the car and passengers must wear nappies for the weekend
  11. jeez Glenn, you didnt tell me there was no cell reception in Gore Bay................. makes it even more appealing !
  12. hadn't looked there yet. pulled the faccy ones off after learning wheel bearing grease is a common cause of failure, l/h side cleanish, still stripped and flushed it though. r/h side, didn't get that far...fully fucked , tore the locking tab of the engagement ring and chewed the fuckery out of every rotating part inside.... the boy has passed his first assignment in wrecking shit as good as his old man....top marks
  13. 1600 8 valve 5-speed escudo SWB certified as fladdeck road legal off-roader, farm hack. i reaslise front CV's may wear out quicker, but plenty of people leave manual hubs engaged, and selct via transfer or have solid hubs and use transfer
  14. so, the rubbish auto hubs on the 1990 Suzuki suffer from scizophrenia, and arn't too sure if they want to lock, or if/when they will lock. as i am not financial enough to buy maunal locking hubs, and there was a factory option for a fixed hub, what issues will i encounter if i weld them up ? has open front diff, and selectable transfer box and currently has even less traction than my 2wd hilux
  15. so i should have a shave and a haircut so i don't blend in ???
  16. got the call up on Tuesday nite, will be telling me mate where to go. we won't be fast, but by fuck we're gonna make it up with sound effects !!! navigating Nev in the yellow 69 Vette in the rallysprint, plus may do a couple of runs with him at Saturdays hillclimb. so if you see a feral looking fucker hanging around said car, come and say "gidday". cheers,Joe
  17. are we measuring in metric or imperial shit-tonnes ?? fucken riddled with the cunts
  18. did he give you the faccy wheel centre caps ?? he reckoned he had then aside especially so some hoohrat didn't flog them !! BTW, he'll hate you if you tang it up !!
  19. maybe they meant it can't be reprofiled without building it up first
  20. square metre rate at a glazier might be spendy, but buying a full sheet is fucking stupid unless you can use it all. full sheet will do 2 cars. glazier will etch and supply producer statement
  21. similar to the 3tgte powered KE70 i knew of. used modified 4k drivehaft and STD 4k diff. suffice to say, was not up to the extra power and result was similar. had he swapped my 2tg for his oddessy, we would have both won !!
  22. is there a point in time, after which, that a de-reg'ed car CANNOT be re-vinned/rego'ed? or is someone scamming the wifey to screw down a price ??????
  23. would this help him ? sell engine, keep bell and box http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/ford/engines/auction-955510924.htm
  24. awesome purchase. nice clean truck, i do love your rust comments, this is not a rusty 60 series........... they are convertables when they get decent acne.
  25. don't google it......... pink triangle pick up spot............ it would seem
