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)

pretty sure its just the same as the standard classic rego. My 51 is $70 a year, which is the same as my 81
-
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

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

rare spares part HLA1008A but why not semisealed?

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

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 -
bunnings D bottle is $125 refill, i think about double that as a deposit. open sundays one bottle lasts about 1/2 a mitsi
-
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
