Ones with actual bolted on clamps, not shitty pressed/crimped supercheat style. Ordered some of these Projecta 1000A clamps. Kind of spendy but seem grunty enough. Now to get some cables. 4 Quote

They'll have the cable and lugs, but won't crimp them for you. Whatever you do, don't be tempted to solder them. You could try bribe an auto sparky to crimp them? 2 Quote

They have the hard wearing double insulation cable, most electrical places don't. 1 Quote
NickJ Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Getting my hands on ~60m of scrap 35x65 rhs with the plan to build a chassis dolly/rotisserie for the Datsun. I want to be able to strip the suspension and still push it in and out of the workshop for the dusty/muck work. Cos i'm a cheap c&*t, whats the most cost effective solution to getting wheels under it? While i'd like to have large locking castor wheels, that would far exceed the current investment of $0. Best idea I have come up with so far is a set of tyre dollys because they will be useful once the resto is complete. 1 Quote

Getting up to that price range I figure the wheel dollys leave me with options later on. Quote

cletus Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Machinery house has big industrial caster wheels, cant remember how much exactly but they were the cheapest big ones I could find . And they have brakes 5 Quote
Nominal Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 So, Pajero's FInally bodged another fuel pump into this heap today but still no go. Fump is running OK - fuel flows out the return line while cranking. It stopped running just a few hundred metres from home a couple of weeks back with no drama, 1/2 power for a bit, then recovered, then no power Anything else easy to check? Quote
