Thanks guys! Thats exactly what i was wanting to know! Hadnt thought about unloader valve (and non return)- good points. Time to mash ali express

Thanks man.. thats way more advanced than i was expecting! Just have access to a perfect tank and pump for a conversion and as i use it very rarely i think full start and stop probably isnt necessary.. Maybe pressure sensitive throttle could work with a centrifugal clutch to disengage pump... i havent googled this or looked for parts yet

Just wondering how these govern air pressure- do any drive the pump fulltime and use a relief valve to simply vent air once at max psi or is there more advanced trickery happening. Experience appreciated

Looks so much better with lamp, bars and deck!

Why?

Just follow the instructions and use common sense. If its anything like mine it will need to be as close to below the tank as possible.

Yeah small files! Faster than waiting for laser cutting

The beertap deserves better...lol

So does either of them remove paint?

Have you tried electrolysis? Youd strip that bracket in a night.

That is an interesting drill press! What does the foot in the middle do? Some kinda click clamp? Also, wow so much work on this house!

I have never seen a white interior that's looked good after a bit of use, it just ages soooo poorly. I vote trying for something classy rather than bold- like a dark red or just plain black. I'm constantly surprised at how well some factory interiors in these colours have aged.

Damn that's nice

Nope, those electronic units are absolute garbage when used as advertised. I believe they CAN be effective on boats where the whole vessel is in salt water ( like how sacrificial metal blocks are bolted to outboard motors for effective protection but won't work when bolted to ya car) I hear some of those rust inhibiting plastic stick things can work well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatile_corrosion_inhibitor

It's really easy- just use pin and eye bush mounts like on the end of a panhard bar. Can just cruise to a wrecker, grab one rear link off something like a safari and cut the ends off.

Nah I reckon that's just surface rust aye man.. just scrape the paint off, rustkill and paint. Jokes, lolololol

We have stuff at work done through terei brothers plating. Seems all good and bits seem to get done quick

So I made a few phone calls. Paint is no problem (but of course you pay for it) They will do nothing high tensile due to hydrogen embrittlement HOWEVER when probed further for specifics he just said no high tensile bolts and everything else is fine.. So I asked someone very experienced in engineering and automotive shit and he said ABSOLUTELY no to getting anything forged done...no front stub assemblies, no steering arms, nothing at all like that. Makes sense but good to get a definitive answer that I can trust. Also.. olive drab and gold etc is all the same price. Back seems a bit harder to get.

Well you can use denso wax tape to keep galv off stuff so I figured it would work with zinc too

What's barrel plating? I had some parts gold zinc plated the other day and they look great. Did a search and black zinc looks great and far better at hiding any scratches or flaws in the finish... I'm sold! Does their cleaning process remove paint?

I'm sending some parts off for gold zinc plating and it occurred to me that I could tidy up a whole lot of my stuff by sending it off at the same time. There are a few reasons- it's cost effective, easy (I'm not doing it), durable and it also looks pretty damn sweet/professional. So what shouldn't someone send off for plating? Are there any issues with material embrittlement or warping or WOF/CERT guys getting upset? So far I'm thinking of the following- Cast front hubs (bearing surfaces covered in tape first) Forged steering arms Swaybars A million assorted brackets Front stub (stub itself would be covered in wax tape first) High tensile steel bolts/linkages/nuts Pressed steel suspension arms Etc etc etc Any constructive info appreciated.

Oh my god! Someone needs to separate the discussion from this.. I can see it's gonna get annoying. WOW

New wheels and tires look awesome as

That paint looks amazeballs!

The problem with those baskets/lights and other bolt on things is that they can be seriously detrimental to speed when you are already lacking in power. I seriously could hardly believe the difference pulling my shit off made. That and on my 4wd the basket out it over max height for certain parking buildings. A real pain in the ass for something that was otherwise completely practical
