    My machine would does 30 min cycles. I'd usually do 2 of them. Good to agitate/rinse as the ultrasonic doesn't really do that

    My normal mix is a good squirter of dishwash, 70ish degree heat, 30 min. Twice

    *you can use naughty never to use stuff like petrol or aggressive thinners to help shift varnish. I have never had one explode yet. Usually in a smaller covered jar or similar.

    What is this jar situation? I don't understand..

  2. So I am about to pick up that Jaycar unit, mostly because the carbs on the Fiat have issues, ie one of the idle mixture circuits does not appear to work so is probably clagged up, plus they are dirty as fuck anyway.

    From what I have read on here a few squirts of dishwashing liquid and clean water is safest? And how long to run it for?

    a new xcel arc is 2100 inc gst so would want to be well under 1k.

    may as well just buy a new one

    Thats the info I need ta.

    It just came up on marketplace when I was looking but I'd want pretty decent for 1k second hand, so I guess its a pass.

    I have to swing by Proline soon so I might have a squizz while I am there.

    Would think the amount of work you do and quality you would want a decent machine. 

    I only want it for ally tig, and im pretty shithouse at that.

    I can probably get it for a grand second hand.

    Has anyone made their own dimple die(s) ?  I only need 1 size, I need some speed holes in the escort. I've seen a few YouTube videos on how to make your own but if anyone done it got any tips/tricks? Is it cost effective or should I just pay the $150 for one.  I assume once I buy one I'll find holes to swage with it. 

    3d printed ones work pretty good I hear

    Did you get the rear suspension arms from the wreck ?  Always handy to have one to send away for balljoint when you've failed a WOF on that.

    No spare means car immobile on hoist while you wait for the arm to return.  Been there. Would avoid if possible.

    Yea I have all of that and pretty much every bit of trim/steering rack/glass/etc. just no driveline stuff.

    Anything u want me to go ask him.for??

    The two bertone badges on the rear door pillars (two small phillips head screws and they pop off) and the engine cover if it isnt too rusty, but given the rest of it that's extremely unlikely..

    Oh and the front and rear badges maybe.
