  1. I guess no benefit for them to do so since they can't do the work and get the upsell. Compared the normal garage where you get a list and say getterdone.
  2. Might have just been bad luck? My inverter welder must be ~10 years old now, doesn't get thrashed but has always done a good job for me on MIG stuff. Aren't both those inverter? Might have wrong link posted.
  3. Seems legit till you get a new one. Has to be better than a snapped in half one.
  4. I flushed my lines to death when I had my rear brakes rebuilt. There was a lot of gunk hiding in there so for the effort involved, it was well worth it.
  5. No idea what the issue is, but i'd at least start with a flush and see how much crud comes out. I've had multiple rear brake balance problems in the past and the specs of dirt in the proportioning valves that caused it were pretty small. Doesn't sound like you have that valve, but i'm just mentioning it as it build up caused lots of headaches. So any build up could be contributing. Someone else will have had this issue before and comment i'm sure. But with old shit, and lack of fluid changes, build up occurs and can cause issues. Just something to start with anyway. I think the cars I had issues with were split diagonally for braking. Current old cars have a tee on the diff to split the single line from front. If no crud in the line to the rear and no build up in the rear tee (could be worth whipping off and cleaning out). Then yeah I guess something is up with master as that is the only other part in the system.
  6. How many lines running to the rear? I would whip all of the fittings off and give them a good clean out. I'm guessing you have given the whole system a good flush?
  7. Someone has probably put up a website with all of the different driveshaft lengths and their compatibilities. I'd hit up google for a while and see what you uncover. You're lucky they are a popular model with lots of info available online, many models aren't so lucky.
  8. Looks to be the case, not a bad markup.
  9. Price alone doesn't make you question the quality they could possibly be? I'm just struggling that's all.
  10. How is your droop vs full suspension travel looking? From memory 40mm droop or 1/3 of full suspension travel. When I was building mine I was told to raise the rear to get more travel. But by the time I had diddled the bumpstop to be a more suitable size / taper, I had to lower the rear to stay within spec and hit my 1/3 mark. Many hours farting around with tiny adjustments on platform height / shock collar adjustments to get there.
  11. I'd replace them just so that people will be less likely to have an accident with me. Making it harder for people to know your intentions is just a bad idea to me. They won't give way if they don't notice your little side blinker going in full sunlight etc. People on the road are bad enough as it is. So making it obvious where you are heading is handy lol. No idea what your car is either, but if it's new enough to have frontal impact shit, then maybe that would be an issue too.
  12. Try https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/toyota?_s=h you'll have to work out roughly what the engine came from and go from there.
  13. The rubber itself is probably going to have garbage grip by now. I wouldn't, but you could always have them inspected at a tyre shop and see what they say.
  14. So i've showered but still smell like a British car, any tips? Good times though, I feel like we ticked a few boxes off today and made some good progress. Good to see the usuals and some new faces. Cracker weather and burgers, nice.
  15. That reminds me, I was supposed to book cover. 12pm onwards is it? PM me addy and if we know what tools are / aren't needed. /I don't drink beer so no worries there
