    Sikaflex 252 - The GTO is built with it! Are you going to make aluminium brackets?

    It's sometimes useful to do a search - I made the same inquiry last year and purchased from the recommended seller. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,14533.msg154477.html

    This is what they thought of replica makers back in the old days - simple, straightforward solutions! http://www.ridelust.com/favre-gto-good-enough-to-die-for/

    Thanks Vince, PM sent. I drove the car up the street and couldn't turn around because I couldn't see out of the thing!

    Aw shucks... You're just saying that cos its got them there wire wheels you like.

    Gordo. I stated I could relate to the duration, not the quality nor outcome. I'm glad I've whet your appetite - it's getting there.

    The builder states: "This thread describes what has taken up a lot of my free time for more than 15 years, my Datsun 240 Z." I can relate to that.

    Darned if I know where mine has gone but does anyone, preferably Sydney, have one to sell? Thanks.

    Dave. Congratulation on your post re Texta, etc. That attention to detail and technique brought a smile to the face of an old aircraft engineer. It's good to know those skills are still about.

    Dave, I had a 'senior moment'... too many lately I'm afraid. I was picturing the hat on the outer face of the hub flange. Too old, too slow, too stupid.

    Luxury... I used to dream of timber spokes. We used to make our centres out of rolled up newspaper covered in cow dung and dried by a log fire...

    To install the ArizonaZ Wilwood kit you need the 260Z hubs. As I understood it, the 260Z hubs position the rotors central to the callipers. If that's correct, it would follow that the difference in the two hubs is the location of the wheel flange face.

    I've found that either approach works better if you firstly drill a small pilot hole right through, rather than relying on a centrepunch mark.

    I'm getting too old. The car I was thinking of was built by Terry Oxendale, I think Berry may have bought it. I'm sure there was 'build information' somewhere but I have found the photos link. http://www.fototime.com/ftweb/bin/ft.dll/pictures?userid={7DC317B0-8EDB-4B2E-A837-F708D07C9769}&inv=9C67398D46D99D9&userid={7DC317B0-8EDB-4B2E-A837-F708D07C9769}&AlbumId={661DE507-2AFC-4542-BBB6-144B908D27CD}&inv=9C67398D46D99D9&GroupId={13F89174-0FDA-4036-8899-4E651925E818}&nt=a

    I can't find Roger Berry's 351 "Blue Oval" build thread but I guess you are aware of this. I haven't read it compltely and it's a bit old but there might be some helpful info. http://www.lainefamily.com/240Z_V8_Conversion.htm I always think it's a good idea to work on the extractors at the same time as engine mounts, it can save unnecessary design change when it all goes together. Looking good - most interesting and keep the info coming.

    You haven't stated what balance bar setting and m/c(s) you are using - or a proportioning valve setting. I could comment further but I see you are not a donating member!

    Every car is repairable, its value depends whether it is a statutory write-off or not.

    An alternative suggestion. Take all, or any, of the old lines off and bend the bundy tube to the same profile and leave 100mm extra on length. Trial fit and marks to the correct length. Give them to any brake place and have the ends PROFESSIONALLY* flared (including double) to the correct length. That's what I did. Be careful of buying tools you may only use once, they just clutter up the shed. *= i.e. no mistakes nor any need to remake because of ineptitude!

    Just when I thought asking prices couldn't get any sillier along come this. Tell him he's dreamin'. http://www.specialtysales.com/vehicles/10090

    I doubt it, he's from Queensland!

    Someone sent me this - I'm not sure if this has been posted before. http://www.executivestyle.com.au/cars-that-will-make-money-for-you-ggwdei

    Because you can't improve on perfection!

    I'm interested in purchasing a product produced by HTW Welding in Ballarat. My application is not exactly specific to what the item is designed for and I would like some measurements taken before I buy. As they have a 'no return' policy (not sure if that's legal but I don't want the hassle) I would like some independent assurance it will fit my needs. If anyone can assist could you send a PM, or reply here if you're not sure how that works. There is no purchasing or postage required. Thanks

    I looked at the photos first and I initially misread the text, I thought you wrote; "Picked up a new girl from Gav as I like the style"...

    So they can spend the winter cutting out the rust!
