Hard to find a good one now.

Getting expensive. Cases are usually stuffed.

But yep if you have a "turbo" pattern block (former th350 or th400) then it will bolt up.

Or a conversion plate can be used if trimatic pattern.

Yeah been around for about 20yrs or more

Yeah there really cool but hard to find the gold anodised ones.

Use VHT anodised spray paint.

Paint over the chrome to get the anodised gold colour.

Did this years ago when i couldn't get the engine accessories i wanted in the colours i wanted.

Yeah looked at 2nd hand. But here they seem to think they're made of gold.

Few extra $$$ and i can get new. 

So been looking at some of the single phase cheap hoists. Eg tufflift etc

Currently lookin at a 4 post parking hoist or 2.

Has anyone here got one? 

Been looking at a few cheap ones online but was juat wondering if anyone has any 1st hand experience with them.

I dare say i will put it up and down a few times to test it works ok then load the project cars on raise it up and lock it then throw another underneath it and sit it there for next 5yrs or so til i get around to them. So it wont be getting used everyday etc to work on. I have my 2 post Molnar for that already. Just wanting to free up some floor space in the shed.

Could make sense mgb?

I spoke to a guy about them who was in the business a few yrs ago (still has his finger in it a bit)

He said the "made in England" stamp and the Dunlop stamp would mean they're at the very least 20yrs old possibly 30?

What has him stumped  tho is the 5.5J as most 13" are only 4.5" wide...

But he has no clue about the X500 stamp.

There's no spines inside or were none either so the theory another mate had of them being drilled to bolt on has gone out the window...

I need to see about finding a digital pcd gauge as mine has big gaps in the measures and i took a guess at the size.

Or find a car they fit on lol. (Shit that probably mean buying another project so i can use the wheels...... lol)

Going to try calling a place during the week (when they're actually open? Lol) 

Apparently Dunlop wires are still available. 

Most are knock ons tho. Bit it did mention spme were available in bolt on.

So 114.3mm is what? Escort/cortina pattern?

What cars had this PCD? I dont have have anything here they will fit so i cant check.

Cheers. I got burnt by PB. So i dont like using 3rd party hosts etc for files/photos etc.

Not sure if i can post directly to herevia my phone?

Clearing out my shed so i can redo my mezzanine and found some old wire wheels.

But i can't work out what i got them from/for. Lol

Stamped in the back i found  the following info.

- Made in England

- 5.5Jx13x22

- (Dunlop symbol?) X500

- K8A

they're a 4 stud rim, not a spindal lock rim.

I couldn't work out what PCD they where, but approx 114/115mm ×4 ??

There isnt a carby on the engine so hence looking around at what is available. So cant compare if jets etc would be interchangeable.

Yeah ive heard about alot of new carbies that require a strip and clean before use due to swarf. I guess quality control inspections wont catch everyone?

The main thing i was wondering is if they work well, once up and going. Such as no issues with transition from idle to WOT etc or if they flow the same as original or if even jetted the same etc. Ive even seen some carburetors where they have made the jets etc none changeable/removeable which is crap.

Elec choke isn't needed. I just used that link as an example.

Id actually prefer a manual choke set up.

Thamks for the offer Joe, but sadly the postage would be a killer, as im from Australia. 

I run an Accu-spark unit in my car.

Works great. Very easy to fit.

No more point issues. Which was alaays a problem with my car.

Has anyone used/tried one of these weber copies from ebay before?

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F183730335652

are they any good or a pile of junk?

will genuine weber parts fit?

cant seem to find a good 2nd hand genuine one for a decent price (these are about the same price as a pile of crap 2nd hand carby).

Cheers.

Had a blackout so went for my generator but no go.

Pulled it apart looking for the issue next day and seems the ignition coil is kaput.

I dont have a book manual for it anymore and dr google hasn't helped with a part no. Etc.

Its an old Robin r650 4stroke (just a small unit but good for lights etc)

From what i can see its a subaru ey-08 engine.

Ebay etc just seem to show ign coils for ey-20 engines.

Anyone be able to point me out with a part number or a compatible unit to use etc?

Cheers

Thanks been trying several wreckers and British specialist spares around Australia but zero luck.

Will have to keep looking 

Look slotted.

I guess now to find someone/somewhere with some for sale lol

Cheers.

Anyone have a pic of what they look like? Ie a solid style or holes or slots etc.

Mini are 10"

Ha and hb are 12"

Not sure on hc or victor.

Im after 13" 

Hi I thought Id ask here as we don't have many Vauxhall's here in Australia. 

Im trying to find some 13" factory style steel rims with the 101.6mm pcd.

Does anyone know what model Vauxhall may have had them? Victor, Cresta etc? 

Cheers.

Does he have any 13" steel rims?

Hey mate.

Good to see the lil waGoon is still going strong!

Still jealous we don't have viva goons in Australia. 

Horse shit inside the fuckin car??!!

Sound like you need a fuckin ute not a van/wagon/suv.

Get a dual cab keep the horse shit out of the cabin area.
