After reading your reply this morning I thought I might be better off ordering some 3m stuff too. Turns out the sheet I ordered was only $13.. thought it might be good to have a practice sheet...

I just picked up some from the post office(eBay) yesterday to have a go at doing my bonnet scoop. All the clear coat came off it. Thought it seemed like an easy part to have a go at wrapping (except...
I wasn't trying to be short with ya mate. I never ran the main battery down far enough through the ctek to see what voltage it would stop at. I assume you're right and wouldn't run it flat. Nice to...
If you do want to connect it you can run a wire direct from the ignition or find a suitable fuse and run a fuse tap from down by your right knee. I'm not an auto elec but for the minimal current draw...
It will charge full time/even if the engine is stopped if you do that. My ctek has the same wire, apparently the smart alternators don't always reach the "on voltage" required to activate the charger...
Thanks mate. I had a bit more of a read around and people seem to think they get a bit more flex out of the rubber too. Makes sense, I know the urethane ones are rock hard.
That was my thoughts and I thought would be the same in here. Just thought it was worth asking the question, especially with the nolathane stuff.
I have access to a press and a hoist so I think...
My sensor died a few years ago. Similar MO.. front of the engine up near the top behind the fan is where the sender is in mine. Try give the wire a wiggle with the engine running, might show your...
It's come time to replace the bushes around the rear diff I think. It's hard to see but I think they're cracking and there's a ton of what feels like backlash when changing gears. The diff and...
Just through Google, I searched gu ARB rear bar install or something.
Maybe this will help?
Or maybe they won't. They're the fitting instructions for the bar but don't show a whole lot.
Might be of some use. Parts list shows 10 nyloc m6 nuts holding them on so I...
I think all recoveries carry an element of risk, that's why we take care to make sure nobody is in the firing line. We know a winch rope has just as much potential to do some serious damage.
I...
I figure this is a good a place as any to drop this.
All I could do was shake my head when I found it.
When you see it....

Hopefully they crimp better than these;

They're built well, I just don't find the crimp is as nice and tight as what my cheap pair do. I've had a few terminals pull off the wire after using...
I love those Unilugs. Not the cheapest but money you'll never regret spending.
I like the bus bar/distribution block too. Is that made by the same company?
That's horrible Cuppa! I can't make sense of why he would lie all that time and then just 'fess up about everything at the end for no particular reason.
Don't be mad at yourself mate. You did the...
I don't know what "should" be done but I had an old Landcruiser that had all the bottom end bearings done leaving the rest of the engine alone. Got it off the guy I used to work for like that, never...
Stupid question, but I assume the car is running when you're testing the pedal? You'll never stop it going hard if the car is off.
Definitely vacuum related.
ATTEMPT 4 (in planning):
Attempt 4 brings me up to present day.
2 things I want to try when I next get the chance..
First revisit attempt 1. I want to run the output of the speedo...
I've got the same fan along with the thermostat he sells too. Generally hovers between 85 and 90 deg and you can hear the fan come in and out occasionally. Haven't towed with it yet though.
I really liked the look of the Avan's when I was looking last year. They hold their value pretty good from the ones I looked at too..
Annual October sub paid up AB no idea when I paid last but there ya go. Thanks for gathering a cracker mob of people. Hopefully this covid bulsh will be over soon so I can get back over to Vic and...
Have you got some thread sealant Phil? Not sure of the brand, but it's basically loctite. I use it instead of Teflon for 90% of my automotive stuff.. I'll see if I can find the tub of what I use. I...
Unless you never left the inner city, this advice is pretty irrelevant and potentially dangerous for Australian drivers mate.
When you say plant, do you mean some kind of machinery operating?
That would make more sense. If that was attached to a moving/vibrating machine working long/24hrs a day I could see something like...
