ta63-1uzze Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 hey guys, I am in east Auckland, I am looking to get some struts tested so they are all done and ready when I eventually get certification . so who is close, what sort of price am I looking at to get 2 front struts tested. (bc coil overs) and on a final question, do I heed to have "xyz" amount of plug welds, at any specific size ? I haven't been able to find out any particulars regarding this question in the hobby car manual but I have seen that most people add a couple. I just want to get it right so I don't have to do it twice because I missed out one weld or anything silly like that . thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDA780 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Heat Treatments Ltd in Mt Roskill do it. (http://www.heat-treat.co.nz/) Not sure on price though. Ask for Adam if you make a call. Otherwise try Lynn Rogers Automotive in Howick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridal Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Mine cost $100. The certifier didn't mention any need for plug welds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
