Hahahahaaaa.....the front door looked like jelly in the slow-mo shot.

I've started to make an electronic dizzy using the guts from a Bosch unit, the gear from a slant, and a chunk of alloy for the body. The original slant dizzy body had a diameter of 65mm, and the donor Bosch unit has a diameter of 88.80mm. I'm going this way because I will be running some big...

That's a pic of a Holden 6 cylinder with an XE/XF Falcon Weber carby on it...and roller rockers too, by the looks of it....possibly, Yella Terra Street Roller Rockers.

The first car I drove was a green 1966 Holden HR Ute....had a 161 ci 6 cyl, and 3 in the tree manual, with a crash 1st gear, and I could shift it down into 1st while moving at about 10 mph without grating the gears....I was 13 at the time. I used to drive it on the highway too.....you could get...

Nice job on the Ute, Marty.

I think you'll find those aircleaners are too short...heightwise that is....the air won't get in the carby's quite right.....seen it before....need to be 3".

That happened to a mate of mine....steel fuel tank....the oxygen thieves just punched a hole in the tank with a screw driver.....he didn't drive the car much, but when he went to move it, he saw it was on empty, when it should've had 3/4 tank. Then he noticed the dead grass at the back of the...

It doesn't snow here at all, but rust does happen, and overnight too on bare steel....it is really humid here in the summer....when it's raining, it can hit 100% humidity, and when it's not raining, it can still be like 80% and 100*F.

98 RON here is AUD $1.70 a litre...or AUD $6.29 a US Gal.

Well.....I'm sort of livin the dream....I got made redundant from my last job 2 months ago.....I was working for Hastings Deering (HDAL)...a Caterpillar dealer...as a Fitter ( 6.5 years), rebuilding front and rear wheel ends/final drives/brakes for mining dump trucks. So, I've been catching up...

I spent 2 days removing old paint, welding spatter and sharp edges from the K frame, and then painted it in 2 pack gloss black. I also did the rear brake drums too, removing the rough feel from the casting.

Leyland P76's used the same box as the Valiants.

We used to have a homegrown tool company here called Sidchrome.....was oned by a company called Siddon's Tool & Lock Company. They got bought out by Proto, then they got bought out by Stanley....so I'm lead to believe. You can still buy Sidchrome tools, but I think they are made in China these...

They use the CT 110's here for Postie bikes.....biggest market Honda has in Oz is the Postie bike.

Snap-On do have long shank ones as well, in alloy or steel.

I have an SIP brand compressor...15cfm, 3.2hp, 240V, 15amp, and next year it will be 20 years old.....never replaced the belts, just change the oil every now and then. I did fit it with a car type air cleaner assembly....better than the foam one it had.

I've never had any problem sharpening drill bits by hand....I can sharpen them to what ever the task is....steel, brass, alloy, cast iron, polyurethane, plastic, wood...etc. I have even made a 3/4" drill bit into a spot weld driller for doing steel wheel rim mods. Just takes practice.

On that angle....it looks like a Datsun 260/280 Z......:smile:

I just use cheap oil for doing that.....need to run it at a fast idle speed for 30 mins (@ operating temp) or so, then drop the oil and filter. You need heat to help get rid of the water.

They are few and way far between......good luck to him......:cheers:

This is what I meant about the holes............... I don't know if ya's get RYCO filters over there or not.

Check points and condencer ????

I use Motorcraft oil filters.....they have bigger holes than most, so they have good flow.

Yep....oily rags under the plastic.

I reckon she's a show-off..............LOL

People are losing their jobs here hand over fist......just yesterday, 472 people lost their jobs at a Coalmine Contractors. If things don't pick up at my work, we could be lookin at losing some blokes too. Congrats on ya job.

Nice lookin gat that one......all I can afford is my 1918 Lee Enfield .303, all original wood, matching numbers.....worth nearly as much as a new rifle these days....got for 90 bucks a bit over 20 years ago.

Wonder how long the bodies will last on crappy roads ????.....aluminium fatigues badly with that punishment.

I got my lathe about 7 years ago, new. It's a HAFCO Metalmaster AL300. I completely stipped it down when I got it, and replaced all the chinaman bearings for Timkens and F.A.G.'s. I found broken drill bits in the saddle box, and casting sand, wood chips, and machining swarf......all cleaned out...

The bolt is a 3/4" UNF thread.
