tortron Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Forcing grease in usually pushes dirt in too and grease goes the path of least resistance Buuuuut the other option is to strip and hand pack it (whatever it is Morris minor trunnions are great for that) Don't get me wrong tho, I have no strong feelings about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just don't see the point of getting stuff with grease nipples if they don't need it. Same with people who make stuff adjustable when it really doesn't need to be but they want the cool/wank factor. 4wd stuff that is actually used off-road is a different story, grease nipples all the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 So much hate in here, I can't even tune a carb, let alone tune an engine with EFI that wasn't setup for it. Go work on your cars, the lot of ya. 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I will weld these up and go about my life, but is there any advice as to me welding in a gusset cos race car? The inside where it has cracked on both sides is actually 3 layers and they all look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 its in the general area but no distortion on it or the sill other than those cracks its a 300,000km car thats been on dirt roads for a long time judging from the amount of dust inside. Few scrapes underneath but nothing notable. I think its just an old car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carsnz123 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 What car is it @tortron? Not because I've got useful info but curiosity. The early turbo Pulars were good for cracking behind the front door due to being a bit weak there. one good railway jump could warp them so ive been told. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
