  1. I ended up getting the belt rewebbed through Seatbelts4u in Auckland, that remedied the problem. Couriered it up on Saturday, back on my door step on Tuesday!
  2. Thanks Clint, that makes sense. Yeah I'll go with a wrecker if it's a last resort
  3. I pulled the unit out of the truck, tried cleaning to no avail. I thought flag it, I'll head to my local decent parts supplier for an aftermarket seat belt. The factory Hilux unit has a gas canister on it and the parts shop suggested I try my local commercial wrecker instead. Can an aftermarket non canister type be fitted as intended?
  4. "The front TinTricksMfg bracketry kits for '85-'00 2wd Hilux hubs consist of... ▪︎2x billet 6061-t6 anodized alloy hats ▪︎2x billet p20 zinc plated steel brackets ▪︎complete zinc plated fastener pack to suit -The billet 6061-t6 hats are a hubcentric, bolt on adaptor that mount to the back side of hub the same as the oem rotor would. The rotor is also located centrally to the hat by the lip machined in on back side. 8x 5/16" fasteners attach the rotor to the hat. The hats are anodized for corrosion protection. -The billet p20 steel caliper brackets adapt the aftermarket caliper to the oem spindle caliper mounts. Ease of fitment & fastener/tool access has been kept in mind with bracket design. The brackets are zinc plated for corrosion protection. -Fasteners used are suited to a high-heat environment. Grade 12.9 cap screws zinc plated and post heat-treated. Hardened flat washers with Nordlock & Schnorr locking washers plus zinc plated cone-lock nuts. These kits are built to comply with New Zealands LVV Braking & Attachment Systems Certification standards and discussions with our local certifier were had throughout the design process. They are 100% bolt on with the oem hubs, and are made to work with oem or drop-spindles. (Minor variations may apply between spindles/castings) >>Note: kits suit 17" wheels upwards. I will confirm caliper clearance via private message. ALL PRICING IS IN NEW ZEALAND DOLLARS AND INCLUDES GST. OPTION 1 >>Hat, Bracket & fastener kit only (both sides) $1300.00 with natural/clear anodized hats $1335.00 with black/colour anodized hats (Minimum run of 10 hats needed for bulk anodizing prices otherwise a one-off charge applies) OPTION 2: >>Complete kit with Rotors, Calipers, Brackets & fasteners. (excludes brake pads)(both sides) $3085.00 with natural/clear anodized hats $3120.00 with black/colour anodized hats (Minimum run of 10 hats needed for bulk anodizing prices otherwise a one-off charge applies) -Rotors are Wilwood 13.06"x1.374" (331x34mm) Gt48 curved vane slotted & vented. P/n: 160-3584c (Right) & 160-3585c (Left) -Calipers are Wilwood 4-piston Superlite forged type. 1.75"x1.10". P/n: 120-11135 (Note: extras you will need to buy are brake pads with a compound to suit your requirement, plus brake hoses/fittings.) * Copied over from Matt's business page
  5. I've gone ahead with a brake upgrade. Matt has developed an in house front and rear Willwood kit....
  6. Roger that, thanks for the replies
  7. Hi Squires, I've got a seat belt the fails to retract in my Hilux which is a WOF fail. Can they be repaired, or is it better to replace with an aftermarket universal unit? Thanks
  8. Fuck yeah Clint, so cool! Nice move on the revin with the og black plates. Stoked to see you and the other half out there and enjoying it. On ya
  9. Nothing to report from the van, but a quick mod on the tow wagon. I had these LED work lights hooked up (thanks Lance @ Autowire) to assist when you're fucking around with the hitch at camp grounds at night, and generally speaking.... They've also doubled as an anti tailgate warning to the unassuming as I've discovered haha. I've had them hooked up to a toggle switch, didn't plan this lol Other wise, I've been using the van over the summer break which has been enjoyably. It's nice to hook up, hit the road and park up where ever.
  10. Words of a real car enthusiast! Thanks!
  11. What's the inside of this looking like Clint, habitable?
  12. Here's the process of forming the front firewall..... All the correct tooling has been used, such as the planishing hammer, to spot welding it in. You could call it a c10 style firewall, it's all going to be exposed with no wheel tubs. Check out the 'frenched' in wiper motor, I've never seen this done before and I was blown away when Matt surprised me with this! Wayyy cool. Also with the body drop, the steering has to be reconfigured, this is now ticked off the list
