Steelies Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 sweet SAS dont have any of the short shocks in the country, and haha, calling the distributor was 'above his payscale'. maybe theres something i dont understand about retail but that made me chuckle.

kicker Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Sounds typical, tried ordering some parts once, was told they couldn't get them in because they had never ordered them before. When I asked them how they got parts from the same range sitting on display in the shop they just shrugged their shoulders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelies Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 has anyone come across CTR balljoints in their travels? proving hard to find the useable ones. noone seems to have stocked QH stuff for a while apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 AC Delco: 45D0015 Not sure if this will fit. From yank falcon. 1964. Looks similar to the ones in the LTSA info sheet posted above. Seem to have notch cut out for maximum articulation across one axis. They are here: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=355510&cc=1333954 And for the record, i have used rock auto for brake stuff for datsun and FC and was stoked. So would trade again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Steelies Posted November 24, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2014 So Phil from Archer's springs in Rotorua is a mega GC. i called him friday avo during our roadtrip up for dromageddon. the springs were ready to go having only put the job in on monday, rad! they were closing before we'd get to town so he was kind enough to come in to work on the saturday morning so i could pay for and pick up the springs. He rolls a mix of crutches and wheelchair so it's was a bit of an ask really, not that we knew till we go there. Then he gave us a bit of a tour through the whole workshop and a rundown on what they do there and how. a real highlight for the morning! mega GC. such a lush workshop, everything was black with grease, stylie and old, or home-built/modified to do their jobs. He even came by the drome later to check out our stz. anyway, bam, got some springs for the wag. I can't recommend using archers enough based on this experience. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 thats choice. Always had such a good, quick and cheap results with archers. Used them when did truck parts as does Cam. I'm pretty sure I sent them my ute springs for resetting on overnight courier one night, and without much notice they had them back on the courier the same day they got them. Such great dudes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
