Truenotch Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Being british it's probably 1/2"x20 or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomypg Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 So what wheel nuts will work? Can you give a link? 1/2 inch? Or do you mean 1 1/2? Also that l200 light idea on the other page, only just saw it. Bloody good idea. Might look into that a bit later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 1/2" by 20TPI (Threads per inch) - look here: http://www.anzor.co.nz/?t=36 That's just my guess... Someone that's into Hillmans would know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomypg Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 So, new fuel pump(pumps) and coil pack. Does anyone have a working fuel pump for cheap they want to sell me? Just an average one to full up the surge tank. And if anyone has a decent one to run from the surge tank to the rails tell me aswell... Got about 150 for good one and 20-30 buks for average one.

DodgySam Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 how about cutting up the old bumper and making it split bumpers like on MK1 eskies. like...this... well after lookin around for some front bumpersand to tight to pay what some people are askin for them, i got board and decided to make my own had a spare rear bumper lyin around so out with the angle grinder By qcadta then after some more cuttin, odd bash with the hammer, and a bit of welding, i came up with a couple of these By qcadta then a trial fit, By qcadta then gave them a bit of a smooth out and close enough to finished. call me tight By qcadta now have the task of makin them shinyer, and makin some bracketsto hold them on. all good. would/could solve both issues. Bumpers bent up AND making it look less...funny looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got about 150 for good one and 20-30 buks for average one. a cater pump or a holley blue are ideal as they flow gazillions at low pressure for modded up carby v8's. you can probably get either for around $150-$200 (may be cheaper to get from ebay/summitracing/jegs depending on shipping) one of the facet ones may work and possibly be cheaper or more readily available (I think repco has them) but they don't flow as much so you would have to work our yours required fuel flow (i.e. injectors size in cc/min times number of injectors) and check it against pump specs. Other option would be to get a pump at pick a part from a car with a largish engine e.g. over 3L and then check the fuel flow with a bucket and stopwatch and then compare to yours fuel requirement.

phr34kr Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 You might not even have to curve the ends around if you put some of the little sticking out bits on the end (not sure of the correct name for them but they look like this) if they are stuffed you may as well give it a go.
