Look at engineering supply places as opposed to automotive like Repco or Supercheap. I'm in NZ and tend to see the 400g cartridges in engineering...
If you purge the oxygen from the tank with an inert gas you'll be safe for welding. Pure argon is inert.
Welding with the sun coming in the back of your helmet is a problem for everyone I've worked with in the field. As a quick fix throw a rag or...
Didn't have the sun light coming in the from the back of your hood? If so that makes it hard to see.
In NZ Peter, I've purchased 22.2mm od x 4.1mm walled pipe from hswhite.co.nz in Palmerston North. It's still listed on their website so should be...
Do you have a return spring on the pedal?
I feel your pain ;). Mines a colonial pickup based on a sedan. I got lucky and found a pair of sedan steel inner door frames which with some minor...
I'll be printing this for future reference. Thanks
I'd want more than 3" to drive on the roads we have over here.
Nice touch :)
The RobMc pump looks pretty impressive and still affordable. My Edelbrock pump is supposed to flow slightly more and has larger in and outlet...
I'm interested in hearing ya stories :). Last time at 10% under driven I saw a max of 6psi on the boost gauge. I still own the same blower and...

Looking good Mark :)
That flat bar trans mount could be an interesting feeling on bumpy roads :eek:

I think you're right.
The five families. Austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, duplex and precipitation hardening stainless steel. For shiny bits on your car you'll be...
Two issues arrived today. Which one to read :)
About four weeks waiting for me now for a back issue and issue 63 on a new subscription. Mines coming to New Zealand though and they must send...
To be done at home, this is probably the easiest way. Stainless tube does bend ok though, you just need the right gear to do it. After all, the...
There's a box on the page for notes. I wrote in there my preferred choice.
Works for international. Thanks TRJ.
Silicon bronze is what I used. Good reinforcement with a lot less warping than you'd get with mild steel filler. That's the advantage.
Lots of different ideas here... My take... We're talking tube here, not pipe, so I'd go for a closed butt (no root gap), and wouldn't bother with...
I've got Speedways early Ford tie rod ends and my steering arms are owner made. 7 degree tapered reamer is perfect.
