If you are in Auckland, go see LEP Engineering plastics in onehunga.. they cast polyurethane in sheets from 3mm thick.. will have a heap of off cuts on the shelf.. Otherwise, I will see what I have at home..

I thought as much.. there isn't much info about them being fit to vehicles

I've been reading on the net, about suspension lift kits for the new Colorado's.. something along the line of these... https://www.perfectlift.com.au/holden-colorado-rg-2012-lift-kits-PLK-9003E What's the legality of these in NZ? And will it need to be certed??

Yeah I used to work for a company that specialized in polturethane. Problem with polyurethane is that heat and oil/grease can break it down quite quickly. Plus the lower the shore hardness, the softer it is, so it becomes easier to tear. The sheer strength disappears. Elasticity is still there tho. Also, you would have to send your parts in to be made. Supply a mould etc, as nobody will supply the raw materials for you. The curative is a massive carcinogen. And very explosive. Plus for the lower shore hardness grades, there is s 16+ hour cure time at 90 deg C. Silicone and latex are both pourable at home, but I would say that they will have the same problems as low shore hardness polturethane. Poor strength. I would go see Steve a Plus Plastics in East Tamaki and have a chat to him. He's a bloody good guy and probably the most knowledgeable in the field. I used to work with him, and i still send all my work to him, even tho I worked for his opposition. Any other questions, the dont hesitate to ask. Cheers Blair

have you got a model number for the battery? i grabbed a heap of ups batteries from my old work, and they were only 7aH. useless for anything that needs power, even if it has a full size car battery hooked up to it.

is it a pioneer head unit?

Comac will do them as well.. Comac.co.nz

WOF'd and Rego'd..... been doing some miles in it to.. it's like a oversized go kart to drive. Totally different to my VZ commy. Next thing to work out, is why the fans have stopped working. May just wire them to a switch on the dash, rather than turn on with the thermostat thingies that's hooked up. Got a small issue with the new carb as well.. it has a major flat spot, but only when changing into second, and only once. If I change back to first, then second again, it's not there. Only happens when it's cold to. I will have a look online and see if I can sort it. Oh and it skids like a Harley Davidson..... very disappointed haha
