  1. busy with werk and forgot these were at engineer. should get at least one day this weekend on cortina also.
  2. Eagle f1s are nice in that size. Prob bit more than a g tho.
  3. or does that closer to strut than it looks in pics.
  4. Or... works in my head but may be thinking wrong. Make an adaptor that bolts behind both lugs. Then it curves same circ as disc upwards and steps back out to same width as lugs. Maybe can get one hole between current lugs and one slightly higher? So moves caliper slightly above std but keeps same plain. Gaz
  5. Or Wilwood can come in the exact size to bolt straight on. Browse US or UK ebay can often get an older set for a steal. Old man got some delivered to NZ for under $200 for both (Ford pattern). No pads tho. Those discs you've used... do they provide same offset as standard? Cant say I came across those when looking for upgrades all those years ago, and I read the shit outta the DBA catalog. Wonder if I could use on my mk1 with the standard calipers spaced to suit. Gaz
  6. PM user Lownslow.. He has the proper ones. Gaz

    die dimensions

    Plenty of charts out there to tell ya what size hole to drill prior to tapping a particular thread but does anyone have a link to one which tells you what size die to use for x size pipe/rod. 15.5mm rod in this case. Tanks Gaz
  11. Looks good in there! Any cert issues with making ya own Crossmember?
  12. New water pump. Think I'll chuck in electric fan also as I've got one here in my shit stash. Also made 4x new battery and earth cables. Old ones bit shitty st the crimps.
  13. Shit vids on FB look awsome. How many cars ??? Gaz
  14. You'll be lucky Mark. Waiting for bonus to come through and might get someone to start panel work on 2..... maybe. Undecided atm. I did consider changing Cortina stud pattern so I could put my Equips on the Cortina. Gaz
  15. Oh yuh, also got part of a sill on order as I exposed rust and need to replace front section of sill plus outrigger and somehow bottom part of front welded on guard. Gaz
  16. Delivering rims to engineer tomorrow for 2.5 wider... will make 14x7.5s Welly prices went up from Howit Engineering.... 100+GST each rim. I'm trying the speedway guys Helcrow Engineering which is just down the rd, will report on costs. Gaz
  17. Cheers bro. Humpday brought me some mail... eyelids. Installed quickly (I need new light surrounds as current ones dented)
  18. You dont think so? Whole sill? I told the guy making it only front 300mm rotten and he said just replace the front 500mm.... hrmm,, I'm going out with a 3m disc now to strip back the sill to make sure no hidden rust. Gaz
  19. From memory I actually finished the last Cortina as much as I had planned. Just sent rims off to be widened. Ordered new half sill also. Gaz
  20. you forgot a couple of break arms and a few shit myselfs. But other than that spot on lol.
  21. Bowdins have some parts also. See their website http://www.bowdenengineparts.co.nz/
  22. Cheers ears. Old man has a spare zetec + rwd parts sitting in shed but I think he is planning to use in one of his austinS. I do have a 1600 711 block plus most parts to rebuild. Was just going to focus on getting current car on road for now as I always seem to get carried away. A Supercharged 1600 kent running thru column shift with itb and a megasquirt does float my boat though. gaz
