  1. Nice work there! more patience than me that's for sure. Your shed has a sweet work area
  2. You reckon the bent axle caused your seal to go. .. or just a coincidence? If it's not too bad you might be able to have them faced in a lathe.. just wack studs out and drop at machine shop. They should be able to set up to the bearing surface and machined area near spline then tell you how much it's running out
  3. Maybe floor the pedal and then adjust knob until max setting is correct?
  4. such bullshit. With that said. .. I did watch my father in law fall off his ladder. acc required. And mother in law fell off same ladder a few weeks previous. I think it's been reinforced a bit now (last incident really fucked it)
  5. just a novice but I thought it changed the negative or positive bias of the ac. so it would crank more amps on one than the other as he said. How else does it affect cleaning? Not taking a dig just genuinely confused
  6. lol I read this the wrong way
  7. Lol best part would be sliding through the sewer after
  8. Have you tried telling it in German?
  9. Just use some stainless ball valves/ raid fonterra scrap bin
  10. http://www.cvspecialists.co.nz/parts/braided-brake-hoses Google is so smart
  11. I have seen a pic of one that managed to incorporate heaps of the engines parts. it was very interesting to look at- probably the whole reason you'd have a glass top
  12. Good work man!looks like you have it sussed
  13. I wouldn't go to a sparky. .$ for nothing. Cant you just test it out of the car?
  14. Just personally.. I want to see 8 pistons.
  15. awesome. You got a good deal
  16. This is getting stupid. qualified people will crane it in. or is there a prize for best idea?
  17. Also keen on pannel beaters stuff. Please pm me
  18. Is thread file metric?
  19. Very cool edit. had a look at the blog. your craftsmanship never fails to impress. How do these things ride off road with no springs?
  20. I have wilwood. they are very nice but no idea on cost (came with master cylinders) I think you should look on trademe as there are always lots on there from people who buy wilwood stuff but don't need all the tanks.
  21. disregard that then! iv always used it for all my work related cleaning.. Because it works and because I was not paying for it
  22. The main thing with ali is to just clean the the crap out of it. brakeleen and a rag until it's not oily then scrub it with a wire brush. When welding my cast sump is get contaminants coming to the surface. I just fed in heaps of filler then ground the weld back flush and did the weld again. The first weld was always full of black shit and porosity. The second weld was always beautiful like welding clean plate. probably won't find that in a text book but it worked for me and others said the weld would be impossible. Also I find the small electrodes way nicer to use than the fast ones unless doing heavy stuff. I'm not sure on the science behind it. If learning I'm not sure if a foot pedal is the best thing to start with. It might be fine or you might find that is just one too many things to think about. The hardest thing I had to learn was self control. If you blow a hole just stop, let it cool off a little then try to continue. In bursts till its closed. edit lol blow a hole
  23. shit it looks great compared to when purchased. Any reason you sticking with 4age rather than 3s? I guess it's a bit more traditional
  24. Can't believe we picked that up so long ago! -nathan
  25. depends entirely on what you want from the engine.
