and what do ya know it was a perfect fit!!! TADAAA and the view from underneath Just have to go to bolt man and get 8 big as hex screws, the plan is to have one going all the way threw both brackets with two nuts on it one tightning the bottom and the other holding the top in place...(explained that real gay pics will show what i mean) decided to dummy up everything else in place looks like a P lab now hahaha And thats it for now, purchased me the gearbox rubber mount so i can finally make the bracket for that this weekend, and got me a cut off saw so next pay day should see a whole heap of exhaust pipe and dynamat so i can finish off the boot + carpet Cheers for looking

allrighty got motivated over the last few days, etched primed the boot and underneath and then sealed all the joins with silicone so after that decided to go get some stainless flat bar to bend up, once i got it home discovered there was no way in hell i was going to get 90' bends out of it without mashing the living shit out of it, so off to the steel benders it went. And the end prodcut was these super good quality and followed my measurements to the t Didnt want a rattley tank so covered them all in a good old camping foam mattress, managed to get a grey colour so it doesnt look so gay so once they were glued down and slid over the tank (a nice tight fit) it was time to stick her in the whole..which the tank didnt agree with as the foam added a tiny bit to much to the width...buuuuut that was nothing a grinder and a few wacks couldnt sort out

have you not heard about simmons stopping production? even if they were able to help the exchange tax and shipping would be killer! -
Widening my simmons in auckland, who to go to?
escortwags replied to escortwags's topic in Tech Talk
so the $235 each is for how wide? sounds reasonable if they have to polish it aswell will give them a call would also be the inside band getting remade as the outer one is fine, wanted to widen them towards the car not away from it -

Saw a thread a while ago bout getting steal bands made up but cant find the dam thing!!! Is there anyone in auckland that has or can make a band to sandwhich between the pieces? after another 2 inches any help would be much appreciated If not in auckland anywhere would be great, just dont want to spend to much $$$ as new bolts for them are going to be over $1 each and theres alot of them

a few Just got to get primary rail aswell thinking of going medival and running water injection rather than sweet smelling meth..been doing a bit of reading on it and it sounds the go all the ausie cats have been having suceess, just worried about tuning over here
-
well heres my fuel rail action ive just purchsed just pondering wether or not i need to bother with the primary rail now or just block it off and the plate feeds into each runner top half of manifold sandwhiches between the two, only raises the lot 20mm or so just have to go to bolt man on saturday and get some longer cap screws to bolt it all together thinking of powder coating the intake runners but polishing that plate inbetween to buzz people out
-
ooo got me some nice new fuel rail action this arvo in the mail might or might not post up pics (will see if i can be f'd) oo and pics of my steering wheel that ive fallen in love with
-
hahaha, just dont touch your little peepee for to long or it will fall off
-
heres some random shoots after i got the steering working now can turn with a the steering wheel AMAZING!!! atleast the coolings all mounted up not to much more to do before the big strip down and my pretty back wheels, that need shining up have collected about 3mm of dust sinse they were polished to perfection! have to stop the temptation of touching them so they dont scratch!!!!
-
heres a picture of my trusty gearnkob "SKULLY" been on my last 4 cars hes very old and solid steal and a better pic of the EWP and my cool stereo that im not going to replace..it works mint and plays threw the original speaker in the dash!! no knobs broken or anything, pretty hard to find which i like
-
updated a bit more now has a page to finally!
-
heres the EWP mounted with the hoses jsut need to make a small bracket or use good old cable ties to hold it tight against the pipes so she dont move around at all. might piss of the steel pipe and just have hose, undecided on that matter so far. can also see how the radiator is all mounted up heres my mc triple stack mcDonalds could never make something this sweet pretty much the only way i could mount the oil cooler was like this think its sweet though will get heaps of air..and my pretty black front looks so much tidyier!!!!
-
ummm heres the boot and a big hole with the box section used thats going to hold the tank and floor up fingers crossed welding it in FINALLY this weekend!! boot needs a massively good clean up and strip oo and my super professional spray booth got more angry at the calf shit orange and decided the back seat needs a going over
-
painted up my door cards with a million coats of vinyl spray came up super duper mint makes the chrome strip in them look uber awesome way better than the calf shit browny orange they were inside of car looking dirty after attacking steering column for a week note how its a 2 piece shaft..made me feel wierd
