  1. Must be a plumber on site to make one out of scrap copper pipe?
  2. https://lep.co.nz/shop/industrial-plastics-rod-sheet-tube/rods/lurethane-rod/ can get any duro rating you like of this stuff, (again if you wanted to machine it)
  3. you can also buy blanks of nolothane if you felt like machining one
  4. pretty sure its just the same as the standard classic rego. My 51 is $70 a year, which is the same as my 81
  5. Theres no extra fees for taking a vehicle off hold after you buy it. Just pay your months of rego as usual. *if you put your car on hold and then want to put rego on it before the hold is up, its a little different, if before 3 months is up, you pay that 3 months as if it was never on hold
  6. you are buying the 6k power hammer as well
  7. are you implying he paint the floor?
  8. converting to wheel studs needs a cert
  9. yeah semi sealed are.the ones that take usually a h4 bulb. look around, can do much better than 300. Butlers has them for about 120 a pair (upwards if you want fancier ones). The ones with a park bulb spot are probably more common than without now days. plus it looks like you can get flat or domed now, for a while there it was hard to get a nice domed one for morries
  10. rare spares part HLA1008A but why not semisealed?
  11. These videos are pretty useful I think there's another one in his list that goes into more detail about the factory calibration rig. But if you add a couple of pressure gauges to what you have, you are basically there
  12. im not using water based, but something lile this is probably.ok https://chemshop.co.nz/product/transport-cleaning-solutions/parts-washer-solvent/?srsltid=AfmBOoqOEA3ycC7PU5bI2g34bdSGgDf2L250ZVXHuHEbJfOCFMe7ZPJ5 depends if i can get some locally. But also it has a 45L fluid capacity which is $300
  13. yeah id like to use mineral spirits but im not a millionare to buy like 40L of it
  14. Also, always chose the professional version, I don't think you can do it on the home version(or maybe it was some additional bullshit)
  15. got a cheap parts washer. wired in replacement switch and it sounds like it works. didnt have the internal work surface shelf, but i do have the door of a dishwasher on the scrap pile might want to take the drain holes out a size or two, butnwill see how it goes. probably fill with diesel
  16. that was the exact moment the belt exceeded recommended intervals probably it was always like that and now its noticeable as everything else is working?
  17. nah my honda had a just audible tick with 3 very slightly bent valves. you probably wouldnt hear it over the swiss watch you have there. you could presurise the exhaust or inlet or sump and listen for the hiss. i only confirmed it after a leakdown test and listening at the ports
  18. the triblades are rated to about 12000 rpm, ign cutoff is about 10500 on a sthil
  19. its gone up due to tariffs since then!
  20. bunnings D bottle is $125 refill, i think about double that as a deposit. open sundays one bottle lasts about 1/2 a mitsi
  21. swap a bottle from bunnings if you use less than 1 bottle a year. if you use the 2, the boc deal is better (they had a deal like that, 2 a year or something, check they still have it) the little disposable ones last 1 patch and are done
