  1. I had one arm break like that, I guess full inflation squeezes a bit more travel out? At that point I couldn't get a new one so made one out of a bit of Al. It's still there after a few years. Maybe I extended the drop link a bit so it wouldn't happen again.
  2. Work keeps getting in the way of packing!
  3. Fires have always been banned there, but no-one has ever cared, dog rule is never respected either.
  4. Better than a hose clamp which I was going to suggest
  5. I welded mine to the lower arms, but mine have one fixed end so don't need to rotate. Something clamped on to the arms would be fine I think, there's no real load on the sensor links
  6. I can chuck one on the trailer, 1KW Honda is pretty quiet, or I have an OS Briggs one for entertainment value.
  7. Full repaint, didn't seem to be much point otherwise given the scope of repairs, and the bonnet has never matched exactly (had it repainted in the USA when we first got the car as it was burnt from the engine air-cleaner fire) Going for the same colour, nothing too fancy. Somewhat tempted by these plates on TM, but wif probably wouldn't approve.
  8. I bought one of these a few years ago, seems to work fine for me. Only 180A but I mostly do light gauge stuff anyway. Think it was about 1k back then, now $1500 incl. BOC Smootharc 181 MIG Welder | BOC Gas
  9. A bit over 6 years since it came apart. I bolted the front suspension back together without many dramas Put the steering back in Enlisted a helper to tighten up the caliper mounts And moved it! Out of the garage then winched back onto the lift. Will drop the engine/box back in before fagnats hopefully.
  10. Hanging around in the paint shop, waiting for materials, should be underway soon.
  11. Some plastics respond well to waft over from a butane torch. Probably best to test it on a spare part, or the back or something first. e.g.
  12. It's probably more now, and extra for the electrogalv/zintec type, and delivery but likely affordable. The plain cold rolled does rust, I spray it with crc to keep that in check.
