  1. Position coming up at my work in penrose.

  2. Very straight forward. you will need a 12point 10mm deep socket to get the head bolts out and thats about it. Valve stem seals complicate matters a bit but not hard to do.

    If it has not been overheated just bang a gasket only on there and see if thatl sort it.

    PM me for parts if you want.

  3. Hey

    Just wanted to know what the deal is with the conversion from foot to hand brake.

    Some say that you just get the hand lever and bang it in but what about the cable right back to the rear wheels? do i need this too or is there a joiner behind the lever?

    its a bit hard to see above the tranny.

    Ive done manual swaps before but not the handbrake part and i want to do my conversion in one hit once ive got all the bits together.

    On a side note, anyone got a clutch pedal or suitable handbrake?

    I have Bell, cylinders, W55 box and flywheel so far.

    Cheers

  4. Some spring tips i picked up working for autolign. May be obvious to some, whatever.

    -More coils = softer

    -Wire diameter changes ride height by approx 30mm per mm of extra spring wire thickness.

    Therefore a 10 coil 12mm spring is soft as shit while a 5 coil 15mm wire would suit the likes of a 4wd.

    Progressive is when some coils are bunched together, as they are closer they are softer and will collapse when the car is on the ground allowing the remaining 3ish coils of the spring to load up when heavier with mates in car etc.

    -Progressions all pile up so 3x coils progressive takes up 30-35mm of space

    My suggestion is find a spring which is slightly longer but thinner in wire by a mm or two, something like 5-6 coils.

  5. Why not just ring NZ Gaskets, ACL or STA. They all sell replacement aftermarket head bolts pretty cheap. Thats gotta be better than re-using old ones.
