Crank and rods won't break. Pistons will take 10psi easy, if ignition timing is ok. Otherwise they break ringlands.

Choppers body shop in Birkenhead do some nice metal work. They fixed an EK Holden that got T boned and looked worse than this. The end result was very good.

Chopper is no longer in birkenhead, he's working from his own property.  Contact details will be on his Facebook page though.  Very good tradesman! 

Looks as though the center main has had the wrong half put in the block stopping feed the the rods. 

Kaz coat in Ashfield road Glenfield. Do good work not sure how they compare price wise to others around. Ask for Howard.

Hey guys, not sure if everyone is aware the k2 cycle race is on 1st nov, around coro loop. Hope not to get caught up with that on the way down.

Hi Clint, couple of question regarding bias pedal box for mk1 escort.

Does the box itself have to be tig welded? Does it need crack test?

And regarding the pedal can I have a section that fits into the standard pressed pedal and extends up for the balance bar, but still has the standard pivot pin and not welded? Can send pics if my explanation is too shit to understand.
