RUNAMUCK Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Early chrysler autos had two pumps. So you could tow start them. (Or so I've been told) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Dunno, it was something that came up when I was looking at cars to tow behind a bus, maybe I got that bit wrong Apparently all saturn autos can be flat towed, they have some funny features Really I settled on one of these, a more practical pt cruiser 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 @JustHarry This is a auto trans from a saturn that can be flat towed all day at 65mph That's the pump shaft on the left, sort of inside the input shaft, and the output shaft on the right. From my understanding that allows the vechicles motion to spin the pump when the engine isn't spinning it That's pushing the extent of my knowledge on autotrans's, Iv only seen the inside of 700r4s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 They ship to NZ fine. Are there items listed anymore? Mine used to show out of production or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Oh OK, looked at the cart, it says this. They seem to be available though as if I enter a USA address they all look good, just don't like NZ destinations. I might try again in a few weeks/months.

tortron Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Maybe usps related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I'd flick them a message. Checked my previous orders and it says warehouse NZ. But NZ Toyota can't order the parts so I really doubt that is accurate. USA order may ship direct from Japan rather than between warehouses first maybe. Try another NZ address? I just added the top light to cart and it makes no mention of the shipping issue. I haven't hit go though, so perhaps that happens when you place the order. edit, saved all my cart items and left just the light. added the other two items and shipping stayed the same. I'd still not be 100% convinced they have stock. But i'd try another addy and try again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, from my experience NZ Warehouse means it ships from overseas to their NZ warehouse, and then delivered to you from there (hence the cheap freight cost). It also takes a while to get to the NZ warehouse from overseas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Tried a few different NZ addresses, no go. Have sent an enquiry. It's a nice to have, not an essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Removing dent from a fuel tank? Car sat on the ground sans wheels so a portion of the tank got pushed in so more of a depression than a dent Have got popped half of it out hammering a wooden pole thru the fuel pump hole but cant get to the corner to finish the rest of it off Tack weld a nut on the base and slide hammer it out? Make up some blanking plates and use a waterblaster to hydroform it or compressed air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set up camera to film the dent popping out.* *pleez dont. But compressed air is what I'd try 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87creepin Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I recently tried to order ngk spark plugs from Amayama but they don’t send them here due to supplier agreements etc Partsouq didn’t mind, so got them from there instead. choke on that, Ripco 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregT Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Forbes and Davies are the agents for NGK bike plugs AFAIK - but there's a lot of overlap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighLUX Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 More bush mechanic googling says that you can get results from stuffing an inner tube in the tank then inflating it to pop the depression out. Could be a go since its in the corner by the fuel pump hole so I can stuff it in there then use a length of timber to confine it to the dent 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
