I can't remember, is that a 2+2 or a two seater? If a 2 seater I'd be careful about quoting it as a 6.0ltr to the authorities (re power steering enquiry). I remember that the builder's photos didn't show what parking brake system was installed. Can you advise? Thanks Peter (LS1)

Did you try Rare Spares? https://www.rarespares.net.au/rarespares/ProductPage.aspx?product=WP0009

Alan. Did you phone Southern fasteners? - I'll be driving past this afternoon and drop in and ask. (edit) Dropped in, they don't have them.

Gav I think that lot are manufacturers, you want suppliers. I use Southern Fasteners because they are close. I quite often buy half a dozen or less and they just say, "$1", or "$5" whatever. http://www.southernfasteners.com.au/screws-bolts-nuts-washers-sockets-supplier Try this mob, closer to you. http://www.rgafasteners-psm.com/

Probably their local fastener supplier! I think you should firstly take a sample into a local fastener supplier and see if they have them, then consider paying overseas rates. Just my 2 cents worth.

Because I'd just read your build thread in full. Great stuff, very inspiring.

Pretty obvious its got a S2000 engine, gearbox and diff.

I've just found you on OzClubbies and noticed your 240/260 thread. I sometimes frequent the technical thread for advice on my 250 GTO build.

Chassis number is stamped on the firewall above the brake booster, and Chassis number is stamped into the manufacturer data plate attached to the o/s strut tower. Have you been on 'OzClubbies' during your build?

Just as well he didn't name it after the play, though I sometimes think it would be apt. There are a few members here who might qualify for association with the Greek mythology connection.

These comments may not be of specific help but here are some issues I had with a booster swap: I fitted the booster from the VZ SS Ute I used as a donor car for the LS1- t56 - LSD diff. My thoughts were to use as much of the Holden components as I could so they would relate to each other and parts would be freely available. - The push rod from the booster was too long but to cut it to length and re-threading to suit the clevis meant paying a brake shop to split the booster and rejoin after I'd cut and re-threaded. - the dia of the booster was so large it interfered with the clutch m/c so I had to relocate the m/c (fitted the Holden one - that's a tale in itself). Relocating the clutch m/c meant reworking the structure of the pedal box so try to use a booster of a suitable dia. - Legally you have to have a brake m/c reservoir with the capacity to match the the volume of fluid to move all calliper pistons the thickness of the brake pads. The Holden m/c just holds enough for the Wilwood set up I have but I'm using 4 spot fronts, not the 6 spots.

Seek professional help NOW... and I don't mean an automotive professional. Peter (Volvo owner)

Congratulations George, you now know exactly where you're at. There is nothing there that can't be done, and done well.

You have.

According to their Facebook page - coming soon. https://www.facebook.com/MrWheelerDealer

I don't understand this connection between 250 GTOs and chickens, but for some reason whenever I start talking about my GTO people say I'm feeding the chooks!

I'm not too sure how much of the roof you want (need?) but if it's just to fix a sunroof hole then any panelbeater worth his salt could do it with far less the time, effort and cost than attaching a new roof. Have you had a quote? I notice you haven't listed your location and you are not a donating member - both help is you are asking for help!

Not sure if anyone is interested in this Z432? http://www.rmauctions.com/lots/lot.cfm?lot_id=1072399

Well done Comrade.

So... Are you some kind of anti-septuagenarian?

Peter Mine is STILL uncovered and I have a million photos of it throughout the project. What would you like photographed and/or measured?

Thanks Alan. Before pressing the old studs out I ran a dial gauge over the flange face and it was perfectly true. No need for skimming at all, so bit of a false alarm. Fingers crossed the other side is the same. I opened the boxes the Wilwoods came in and would you believe the paper used for packing was dated September 2007. They've been sitting in the lounge room all that time. I hope to bring it down for the Italia Festival!

I would like to skim the flange faces of the stub axles (as shown) prior to final assembly. Has anyone done this and re-fitted the original wheel studs, and if so, were there any issues? Thanks

Crikey, you young fellas, haven't you heard of WD40... It may not be the pivot at all, it might just be where the spring hooks on.
