I've used it on the sheet stuff with great success, but Triumph used a spray on product on the floor of my car. This is inside the car, not underneath. Tar/underseal we just use a heat gun and a scraper to remove at work. It's a shit job no matter what. But that's the cleanest way to remove. Wire wheels usually just heat it and make a gooey mess same with sandblasting or sanding Then solvents usually paint thinners to get the last sratchings off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a late 50,s 9" from that view but could be an 8" too. Cusso are quite round in shape from the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 What the beat solution to clean my gearbox internals in? I want to scrub them first and then dump them in the ultrasonic for a bit. Steel gears and yellow metal (brass? bronze?) synchros. The gearbox has a lot of metal through it so everything is covered in a gearbox oil sludgey glitter.

HighLUX Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Cheap 1L bottle of degreaser mixed 50/50 with water for a soak and scrub followed by running neat degreaser in the ultrasonic cleaner. Edit: something like this will be fine https://www.supercheapauto.co.nz/p/sca-sca-degreaser-concentrate---2.5-litre/519105.html#q=degreaser&lang=en_NZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transom Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Right you electrical wizards Looking at buying a swim spa to install down the back of section behind the shed - electrical requirements are hardwired 1x 32amp and 2 x 10 amp When we did shed power we did think of small spa and ran extra / also have a caravan circuit and plug down there but our sparky who installed is incommunicado Shed board has 63amp rated main switch if that means anything Any ideas why a swim spa needs 3 hardwired inputs ? Is the average home switchboard that then runs 60+ metres to a shed board then another 20m gonna cope with the draw ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 What's the rating on the shed circuit CB's at the house end of the circuit? Probably the 32A is for the big pump to run the swim mode. One 10A for heating, one for everything else, my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transom Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 At a guess it’s the newest on the house board and I suspect it’s 32amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 bought a shampoo vac a while ago. game changer for cleaning gross cars wanted a steam cleaner as well, but out of budget just to try it. Got a used wall paper steamer for $5. Works mint, the wide fitting on the end just unscrews, yet to check if anything else screws into it, but its pretty decent spray for cleaning in corners and stuff. Would recommend 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transom Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Thanks still trying to track down the sparky who did the work if I can’t find him I will hit up the electrical inspector from power board I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Does oil go off? Just did an oil change on mums car yesterday. I reckon it must have been at least 5 years since it last had one. But I think last wof she'd only done 470kms. (During that year) I know short trips is the worst thing for them. But does oil get too old?

They have time based intervals for a reason And nothing sealed for life is actually sealed, it just doesn't have a manufacturers interval to make servicing cheaper for customers. Just ask BMW owners how their sealed for life transmissions are.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
