yetchh Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Strip disc on a grinder or a drill? Soz for the questions.. 1 Quote
Benno Posted April 10, 2020 Author Posted April 10, 2020 Mostly strip disc on the grinder. Used a wire brush attachment for the grinder and drill to get some of the bits round the seams. Manual sanding with 80 grit for the rest. No worries mate, I'll probably have heaps of questions when it comes to reassembling it! 1 Quote
moparmuppet Posted April 20, 2021 Posted April 20, 2021 Looking good. What is the brand of epoxy primer you are brushing on? Looks plenty fine for underneath and no messy overspray is a win. Thanks.Vaughan Quote

Mk3 Posted May 4, 2021 Posted May 4, 2021 What did you find out about belts on b pillar? I'm about to take my mk3 for Revin and am worried about my belt mounts requiring cert. Quote

I think it must have been an NZDM thing, hence it didn't make it into the workshop manuals. Let me know how you get on please. Quote

Shouldn't be a problem on a vehicle that is otherwise stock. 2 Quote
felixx Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 @Valianthad seatbelts thru the b pillar on his Anglia too Much stronger than mounts in panel steel like my Anglia had 1 Quote

chasinthemirage Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Late to the party here re seat belts, I've had three Mk3's and they've all had different seat belt mountings. One was bolted through the pillar and two just had a 'captive' nut with a large washer inside the pillar that the belts were mounted too. Both methods were fairly common as far as I'm aware. 1 Quote
zedhed1 Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 Late to the party here re seat belts as well but on early models, the bolt went right through while later models had a captive nut and a one piece chrome strip on the outside 1 Quote

Not sure what the condition of the SU's is like, but externally they look all good. Hey @Benno what did you pay for those SU's? These triple zeniths have come up on the tard that I'm fairly keen on picking up. They're fairly pricey but then again they never come up. Talked to zep (galeforce zephyrs) a while back and he reckoned the triple zeniths had more initial punch than su's but its a struggle to get an air filter to fit under the bonnet.. Quote

I paid $350 for them, manifold is homemade but should do the trick. I saw those, wee bit pricey but they're the first setup like that I have seen up for sale so probably worth it. A mate of mines dad said he went from twin zodiac zeniths to triple SUs back in the day and preferred the SUs. 3 Quote
yetchh Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 Yeah there's the other triple on there that's homemade but it finishes before the other one so there's no back up haha.. I find there seems to be a distinct lack of information regarding the zephyr 6 engine, especially since gale force went under. I want to do some porting and upgrade pistons/valve train but there is zero information.. 1 Quote
