new brakes vs old

has it been said whats in the coffee tin?

thanks man, not handy to me at all but if need be ill go see them. alrady talked to all the usual fastening people. My engineer cant find a tap/dye for it in NZ, looking into ausie to find one so we'll see

thanks man, too bad its not really helping already had a certifier come around and now im doing mock ups which then need to get approved before they are actually made by an engineer. I dont have the facility to tap threads etc but i do have a pipe bender and a cheap supply of pipe. what i want to do is weld some nuts on the ends and screw in the tie rods. and need a tie rod i can find a nut for. ta

original uses a centre drag link, im trying to make a new/different setup

Does anyone have access to tie rod sizes and measurements? I need to find something that fits any help would be fantastic. I need a taper to fit Lada Niva pitman arms, that being around 15.2mm wide/15mm narrow, so around that size. Also the other end needs to be a male thread with a reasonably common size and thread which I can find a nut for easily. (So far I have hilux LM55 items, part number is camelot RN540L i think, taper is perfect but the thread on the body is really shit, m17 1x5 lefthand thread. I also have som 60s holden ones which are close but not as tight a fit in the taper and the body is a chunky M18 thread.) many thanks

i would suggest first and foremost looking at your steering before you start any swap with the exception of a fiat one or something that would stay in a similar spot and use your current driveline. re. the radiator im looking at fitting a custom one into the grill cavity

this is an amazing little esky man, love it

mean! looks superb

haha thats funny. they get a horrible rep but hey its was designed and made as a low-cost budget-as subcompact, so you get what you paid for PM me more about them rims if you're keen to sell btw looking into slam now and will def be looking at a transplant once lada is done. Looks like there is a huge range of fiat sohc engines which bolt straight in, as well as Bravo/Brava 16v which need one mount modded only. sux we are so far away, Serbia has a huge range of 15s and 16s for these for around 130 euro a set. Also a FULL SET of Bilsteins w springs and lowered leaves @ 220 euro. fuck

possibly

had a bit of a clean and a service looking for rims, bit of a lol finding 4x98 also looking at importing suspension bits

wicked plan for this little thing man. hey if youve got a CAS/coils setup on it (to fit 1800, unsure if 1600s are the same?) you want to sell off, let me know, cheers

so sweet. you should keep the green sticker

wow, this looks really cool, nice one man. I hope my yugo goes as well as yours at a wof check haha. defnately get the 'cant go a day without fucking out', drove mine home (you dont kno what gutless is till you drive a 4sp 1100cc yugo lol) and then it wouldnt start haha. i think its just flodded tho. this could be a real little looker tho!

why thank you sir, very kind of you to say so

just landed, some crappy cell pix until i clean it and have a good look Runs fairly well, idles way too high and a bit smoky but we'll see. Been sitting for about 8 years or something so that might have something to do with it shes a snazzy bitch

seems like you almost got it man! what are they stinging you for the fees if you dont mind?

those steels do look choice, good luck!

thats all good, everything about the car is generally very bad anyways

much less of them now tho but still plenty around Laughed when i saw 5 big adults packed in with luggage on the roof struggling around 80-90kmh on the highway in about 38degrees keen to get late model bumpers maybe

yeah i think they can look quite nice/has potential. once you remove anything actually made by zastava underneath
