Paul - You might like to demonstrate how the weld must penetrate. I see so many chaps at TAFE produce surface welds! (edit) Sorry, you did cover that point.

I took a break from clearing out the shed. It would have to be in fibreglass with a lexan window to save the hassel of a gas strut. PS. I'll send you the bill for my hernia!

You should try to attend this one day - not like normal race meeting, here you get to wander around the pits (paddock). There should be a few Zeds running. http://www.vhrr.com/phillip_island.htm http://www.vhrr.com/Competitor-list-PI-2012.pdf

PB I now realise I have a full height cabinet that has to go as well, also the shelving beside it. $40 if you are interested but you must take both. Anyone else interested will be placed in order behind PB.

The rationalisation continues. I have a 1m (h) x 0.9m (w) x 0.47m (d) steel cabinet I want to sell ($25). Choose either swing or sliding doors. I have a full height dexion open shelf storage rack that I will throw in. PICK UP ONLY

Peter, it's obvious you have too much time on your hands. Come down and help me empty the contents on my shed into a skip.

Tell me the name of your engineer again... http://www.importmeet.com/blog/events/category/pacific-northwest/forum/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=237

Well researched, well planned, sensible use of off-the-shelf items and well executed, an excellent result, congratulations.

For all you chaps salivating over Paul's (Ledge) new fabrication toys it's important to realise that you need the skills to operate them. St George TAFE is taking enrolment for a course (4 hours one night per week) where you can learn these skills and fix your car at the same time. There is really no structure to the course but rather you are taught and learn as you make or fix your own panels. $325 per semester (16 weeks) may seem a bit steep but it equates to only $5 an hour. With no serious buyers showing interest in my project it looks like I will be pressing on and signing up for the course again. http://www.sydneytafe.edu.au/coursefinder/28399

Basically all gone or spoken for, except the rear hatch and the dash thingy - anyone interested?

The pressure regulator is in the short return line between the filter outlet and the tank.

John - Mine has a filter on the high pressure line shortly after it leaves the pump, it then has a 'T' piece off the filter which has one line running to the rails and one returning the excess fuel. That way you only have to run one line to the motor. I'm sure you have addressed this but you will also need a valve on your vapour line to ensure no fuel runs into the vapour line when the tank is filled or the car is upside down. Likewise you need some valve arrangement on the filler to ensure there is no blowback when it is filled. Both these are available from wreckers. PS. I like Alan's idea of the foam.

No, it's the real McCoy. I picked it up off the Italian eBay... They were also used on Lancias in the 60s. To be honest they are not very comfortable to race with (too thin and too slippery) and a lot of historic drivers replace them for actual racing.

It's in the Drifting regulations! John - Just so we are not at cross purposes, I am referring to the lack of baffles in the main tank, not the surge tank.

NO, you literary Philistine... if Joshua Radin has used that line then he plagiarised Sir Walter Scott. By coincidence, my daughter saw Joshua Radin at the Camden Theatre in London in September while I was across the road reacquainting myself with warm bitter. Sorry John, enough off-topic comment... However, the lack of baffles worries me with that tank, if you drive through a series of left and right-handers (esses) might you not experience something of a tank-slapper? I'm sure some undergraduate engineers on here can do some cals - I'm too old to see the numbers on my sliderule.

'Oh what a tangled web we weave when first a new fuel tank we conceive.' John - Is the reason you are going for a surge tank related to baffles, or lack thereof, in the round tank?. You could knock-up a round aluminium tank with baffles and install an in-tank pump for half the work you are contemplating... KISS.

On the contrary, it's brittle and will snap when a force is applied resulting in a jagged edge, just right for impaling a chest. Here is my beautiful, gorgeous, seductive, Nardi Anni 60... A wheel to die for!

Propeller Shaft Services at Ilma St, Bankstown, did mine - it was cheap as chips and good quality. Agricultural, Auto, Marine and Industrial 9771-2575 or 9792-1311

$5 the pair - The Shire. (edit) Sorry $5:30, the price of a schooner at my watering hole has just gone up.

I've just got off the phone to Dave. He wants to apologise to everyone who has e-mailed him recently but he has had a bout of pneumonia and now his wife, i.e. his packer, is in hospital with it. He has 600 outstanding e-mails. He said he has never been so busy and with the slump in the US dollar he has orders from 26 countries. He asked for people to call him around 11:00am - noon EDST and have the date of your e-mail ready.

Sorry, no.

Andrew - I would ideally like $1m for the dash and around $500,000 for the console, but if you would care to message me with a lesser offer I will consider it.

Looks good but I would recommend larger dia castors for easier movement. These cradles can be used to hold the engine/gearbox while an S30 body is lifted off.
