Carsnz123 4,015 Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 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 post Share on other sites

tortron 67,141 Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 It's fine tho Actually it was real thin at that spot. I recon they didn't account for the stretch when pressing the panel. In any case its lasted about 25 years Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RUNAMUCK 30,221 Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 3M aluminum foil tape smoothed over really tight, and sprayed with colour match paint. I literally once fixed a rust hole in an AP6 regal in that exact spot by doing that. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bling 21,916 Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Oh you guys. Is using drum brakes a couple of times enough to set them in place to adjust the handbrake? I recall moons ago being told to not adjust handbrake till drums had been used. Yes I could google, yes i'm a diddle finger mechanic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yowzer 35,329 Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 I usually tweak the handbrake so it drags, go for a thrash around the block a couple of times hard on the brakes then tweak again. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tortron 67,141 Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Pretty much a couple stomps on the pedal will centre them 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bling 21,916 Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Sweet thanks. Handbrake would be handy before I hit the road, so they are potentially centered after I bled the whole lot then. Just saves me having the chock that thing erryday. Will give those methods a hoon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
