chees- Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I've been quoted $240 (not including gst) to get threaded sleeves welded to my struts as per clint's guide by TTT which seems excessive, is that about how much it is? not really keen to pay 400-500 just to get them welded(including crack testing(woops my bad)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 That may include crack testing? Which you will need to get done iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 woops i thought i had added that, yep the 400-500 includes crack testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 is it a sleeve kit or a one of them full on kits? i rang up my cert guy an he said he was happy for them not to be crack tested, may want to check with the guy your using. find a mate that does engineering and get them to weld it on or one of their work mates i done that and they ended up doing it for free after work. if you find a small quite engineering workshop they will do it for fuckall like sub $100 it only takes about 15-20mins to do. it dosent need to be doing by a ticketed welder either.

Rookie Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yea I would expect it all to be done for less than $150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chees- Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 i should probably have clarified, this is welding a sleeve to the bottom of strut to hold the shock (bc style). Driftnmaz (Todd) can do it and get it crack tested sweet i'll send him a pm that price is a fucken joke In my opioion Think they are trying to take you for a ride yea thats what i thought, plenty of guys on here have used them for that price.

eke_zetec_RWD Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Ate they also machining or cutting it down? Or is it ready to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 i didn't actually say, so i'd assume that they think they are. Todds doing the crack test for half their price so i'm already pretty set on using him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
