mitchs 924 - tell me i made a terrible decision to buy here
Yammies replied to Mitch.W's topic in Project Discussion
yes definitely a 924... -
I bought seatbelts brand new from repco. Lap/sash for the rear and retractables for the front. They use generic belts
-
Im not 100 percent sure on that. I had a chevanne as my first car. It had rear seats too. They were badged as Bedford chevannes in the uk and normally didn't have side windows, but all the ones I've seen here are basically chevette wagons/estates. I have quite a few bits stashed here and i cant use any of the engine bits as the original engine is long gone from mine.
-
Chevannes were brought into new Zealand to get around the import tariffs and were brought in without rear seats. The seats were added in the factory later and meant they imported the vehicles for commercial use.
-
Yeah that's similar to what I have planned. No room for the safety loops at the front as I'm using factory mounts at the front. I may just buy top hat bushes and fabricate the rod end yet
-
Where is he based? I only need the joints. Will make my own ladderbars
-
Wierd. My certifier told me not to use rose joints as they don't have enough movement in them
-
Sure have. He said they need to be a rubber or similar flexible type of joint, as opposed to spherical rod ends as there isnt enough 'give' in the rod end. Ladder bar is going in a chevette which has torque tube from factory so is very similar to factory and allows the pinion to stay in alignment
-
Can anyone tell me where in NZ I can buy some rod ends similar to the below pic? I am building a ladder bar rear end for my chevette but I'm struggling to find them in NZ. They will need to be able to be certified
-
almost any fuel injected car will have that setup if it has an in tank pump...
-
most inner CV joints only have a circlip holding them on, so if the outer is being a dick then i just remove the inner and do it that way... saves a lot of hassle in my mind.

try www.staparts.co.nz

any GL4 or GL5 rated oil in the SAE 80 - 90 weight should do the trick. there are heaps of different brands out there but the difference is bugger all. Something like a GL4 80w or GL5 80w90

The short answer is there is no reason why you can't deck the block as opposed to skimming the head. most people only skim the head, but if your head is straight and not corroded you'll be fine... normally the head is worse than the block though! Just work out your compression ratio and piston/valve clearances to make sure there won't be any issues.
