What rear brakes are you running and do you get a pulsing through the brake pedal corresponding to the noise?

Well done, all round Have a read of this, you may be able to reestablish the Photobucket images: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/16377-photobucket-want-400-odd-dollars-for-3rd-party-hosting/

Don't be too hard on George for the pace of progress on the Zed, I was over there the other night and it was such a delight to go over Paul's work in some detail. That car as it stands (sits) is a work of art. George. Why don't you build up the chamfered side of the mirror base with weld and then file it back with the chamfer the other way?

Sacre bleu... Take a lesson in Australian geography!

This mob might help. https://www.packsend.com.au/ You might need another courier to collect from the seller (assuming the item exist) and deliver to Pack and Send.

I fitted a couple of Raydyot bullet mirrors to the GTO to give it the period look. I found I could see bugger-all via the passenger door mirror so I fitted one of these and hey presto, I can now change lanes like a 'P' plater. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Convex-Mirror-95mm-3-/261818493373?hash=item3cf59929bd:g:EOEAAOSwoBtW2RSx

Any preference for Webers made in; - Italy (refurbished, I assume) - Spain - Asia?

WOW... I really though it was a long shot but two of the Legends come back with immediate positive response. I love youse all. Thanks gents, I'll be in touch.

I'm planning on creating a roof lining in aluminium. I will form it on an English Wheel. It will be a PITA to continuously trial fit it to my car so I'd like to have a roof frame I could lay on the ground which I could use as a jig. Doesn't matter what condition or whether a skin is attached or not. One week loan. Preferably within 100km of Sydney. Thanks http://imgur.com/m03RE6y

Gary, Why? Be honest, how often would you use such an item? A trolley jack and axle stands is all a home garage REALLY needs. He who dies with the most toys wins dies!

Are you talking moulds or bucks?

More time for you and Roslyn to enjoy The Green Hornet. Look after yourselves.

From the USA. There are a lot of welded units but I wanted the forged ones. I've hidden all my receipts in case my wife saw them so it'll take me a bit of time to find out the exact seller. I'll get back to you. (edit) I found this on their (Hawk Hardware's) web site. http://hawkhardware.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=123_10_136_138&products_id=619 The reason I went with this seller was other overseas sellers wouldn't post to Oz or were too exorbitant in postage cost. Local prices were ridiculous. They are called either BUSHED ROD ENDS or FOUR (or 4) BAR ENDS (Hot rodders used them for upper and lower wishbones)

I understand this is the one for Firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-fix/?src=cb-dl-updated

Checkout the video at 1:57:00 Would you believe it, one of the presenter is 'Barb' - that's Robert to you and me. All jokes aside, I had a fabulous time there 2011.

Lachlan, you're a dead-set legend.

Someone is selling these on the Clubman site. If anyone is interested PM me and I'll put you in contact. 4 x 14" x 6" Performance wheels snowflake style 114.3mm PCD. Bit weathered but should clean up ok In Adelaide $45 or beer PM me if interested. Kym N.

Thanks Justin. For $18 I can get a set will come in handy for other jobs. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10PC-T-Handle-Hex-Key-Set-Allen-Key-Metric-Size-Quality-Hexagon-Spanner-Driver-/121957903527?hash=item1c6541eca7:g:Zl8AAOSw2GlXEc67

I need to adjust the setting on my Arizona Z shocks - I think they are KYB brand. When I made the suspension I drilled holes in the bottom of each strut housing to insert a hex bar, with the intention of brazing on a 'T' handle to the end of the bar. It became a 'gunna' job. They are set so high up I can't get an Allen key to connect so before I muck around making something, it would be good to know the hex size. Thanks.

You've lost me there? Wouldn't that induce free pedal travel whilst the spring is compressed, exactly the issue trying to be cured? Sounds like the springs are there to maintain temp in the pads not eliminate free-play.

Bit of an update. (I believe Photobucket is now charging and images could be lost so I'll just include photo direct to the post) Separated the body from the chassis. Stored the body under the rear patio - will probably be there for a couple of years, Tried to sell the V6 on eBay but got no takers. I had to pay somone $50 to take it away. Inspected the chassis. Bought a Straight Six block to set the engine mount locations, etc. Picked up some 'cheap-as-chips' Hotwires to work on the suspension. I'm not sure what wheels will be on the finished car. Couldn't believe it when i found some genuine Bolwell seats for sale. talk about Rocking Horse manure. Measured all the engine goodies which were included, e.g. Nice roller rockers. Think I'll go with a 186 rather than a 202. Better suited to the triple Webers I've been told.

Nothing annoys me more than poor workmanship. Fancy locating a metric tyre well on a 44 gallon drum.

George. Just a thought, not sure if it would work or not. Could you initially attach one of those extension tubes to the nozzle of a paint spray can to get at those hard-to-get-at spots, though you might be able to rotate the nozzle to obtain different spray patterns And, where are the dozen or so previous chapters?
