Yep was just playing in the shed before but can't go much further without the sand blaster, will be doing that over the weekend. How did you clean up in all the little nooks and crannies Rossco? I definitely can't paint over the dirt and crap in there, yours wasn't as dirty as mine though.
My mate has tried drilling my brake shaft but he can't drill into it... Think we will just weld a nut onto it.
Should be onto painting next week anyway =)
I just cleaned it by hand the best i could from memory. It was fairly dirty and don't think i got it that schmicko before painting. Think i just used wire brush and other little brushes and the compressor.
Yeah the brake shaft is pretty hard to drill & tap. Think you need to aneal it to get a tap in. Reckon making a cap like Dazz an ABs is a good way too go. . .
Yep but my mate just showed me this... He's thinking of making a run of them and selling on eBay. No modification required!!![]()

Yeah ghee I like his cap make e, that has got some potential. What did he turn it up out of? As long as it can't shear off the lip and pop off its a winner.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
that is a pic we found online but I believe it's stainless. Very nice indeed hey! Mate reckons he could make them for about 15 and sell for around 50
It would also clamp tight onto the shaft so it wouldn't be going anywhere. Bloody great idea.
