  1. Seems like you need to make the rod longer?
  2. I have ali-x version but haven't used it much - belts seem a bit crap, probably should buy some better ones locally.
  3. Doing the patches is not problem, I have a belt sander setup. It's more about getting the cutouts in the panels done nicely. I want to be close to this good, and I find it hard to do neatly with a cutoff wheel.
  4. I'm wanting to use them to trim the edges of cuts in sheet metal to get good-fitting patches. They should be good enough for that? Not heavy grinding/stick removal.
  5. Good work - that was a fair bit of rusty metal lurking in the corners.
  6. I found a branch in the long grass. Anyone got a Commodore radiator they don't want?
  7. Thanks, went to Twiggs in Welly today, the PPS website is rubbish. Twiggs is researching. They are pricey suckers though https://www.revolutionindustrial.com.au/poliroll-polico-150pc-abrasive-cartridge-rolls-pol
  8. Any idea where I can get something like these in NZ that are rated for a die grinder speed (1/4 shank) and the sanding drums? https://www.unitedabrasives.com/mmi-family/spiral-band-drums/ https://www.unitedabrasives.com/mmi-family/3-4-diameter/ @Truenotch?
  9. My top mounts are just MIG tacked between the plate and pipe. No worries. Only the mods on the front suspension arms need all the TIG and testing.
  10. I've got a cushion I got from the physio, one of these I think https://thebadbackshop.co.nz/collections/lumbar-roll-seat-wedges/products/mckenzie-super-roll Had it for a number of years now and it still does the job. For long trips in old cars I got one of these https://www.betterback.co.nz/lumberjack with the leg straps for driving. Works for me.
  11. Pretty easy, probably best to arrange an introduction to the caretaker though. https://goo.gl/maps/cZJ1GFYri212
  12. The one in ChCh? It is or was somewhat accessible. @Carsnz123 may know current status.
  13. Excellent ribs. Also full checkpoint just over Mana Bridge on SH1.
  14. I'm in Wellington, and not keen on driving up to Kapiti for a few hours now, so am Keen to meet up. Indoors preferably.
