  1. I would not feel comfortable solid mounting the engine AND gearbox as it then becomes a stressed member. I have no idea if its actually a problem but you could exert some serious force on the gearbox mountain points should the chassis flex
  2. not sure if I miss- understand the discussion but there are aftermarket looms available for hot rods etc- you choose the number of separate circuits you need and the kit supplies everything- wires, relays and fuse box. sorry if iv missed the obvious
  3. anyone even remotely interested in buying this? the mrs has made it clear that because of other things coming up I'm only allowed one car....and there's a Gemini that I want right NOW! purrs like a kitten, best daily on earth. have done numerous long trips in it and absolutely no hint if it being anything but awesome. pm me if you are interested at all, cheers
  4. very cool dude! and so coil to find a young guy who can speak/write properly
  5. hcd in ham has a box of sample automotive seals.
  6. I'd have been there but have to drive to taumarinui
  7. option 1 for sure. hope that rack doesn't fall off!!
  8. Chrome checker-plate for the floor? please dont do it
  9. Did you get that seal in? May have missed tat in your post. They can be a total BITCH if things are not 100% right. Scrape the edge of the hole so that its not a sharp edge to ruin the seal as it goes in. Grease the crap out of the seal. Use a plate to push the seal in. If its REALLY tight then use two plates that are like a big washer with a hole in the middle and a length of threaded rod through the diff to pull the seal in (one plate on each side of the diff). Sometimes its easier to pull it in slowly rather than punching it in. Also that seal might be OK if you use some loctite gasket sealer or similar on the OD. May ave missed the relevant update- if so.. soz.
  10. Thats going to be a good looking bike!!!!
  11. I love the wheels you have. Probably best if you strip that car to absolutely bare and get it dipped.... Better you than me! And please make your signature pic smaller. It bugs the crap outa me. Its like nearly 3" tall on my screen.. and its not a big screen.
  12. I'm a huge fan of your work man, the repairs look great so far!!
  13. I reckon ply with a veneer of something nice looking.
  14. iv seen PVC tube pumped up to over 100psi. this will be fine. to complicate thingsthough.. I just did some googling. pressure in an lpg tank is only approx 165psi ( depends on ambient temp and gas mix)
  15. if u have a mate with a lathe and another with a welder... build up the missing bits with weld and machine smooth
  16. that is not a fair statement at all!!! I mean, for all you know this guy could be a shelf stacker, deli worker OR a cabbage cutter!
  17. probably not the best place to get automotive advice.
  18. I vote that it doesn't matter one noticeable jot.
  19. google it. lots of DIY articles showing how it's done.
  20. Mmm seems a lot more involved then i want it to be. I was thinking of partial assistance from the pump by making it run one speed the whole time. it can't be that bad- its supposed to be very commonly done on hot rods with exposed motors etc.
  21. what happened to lingling? I actually felt bad when I realized he wasn't posting
