What would the price be on one of these?

Once I started stripping the bottom 3 bolts where just finger tight, that explains the leak but I can’t understand how they where loose, it’s covered less than 200 miles since it’s rebuild and I always check fasteners on everything..

Just replied western, really appreciate the offer but I’ve got some ordered, just need mobile ready for night shift tomorrow

The above gasket has let go in spectacular fashion, I need the car ASAP and can’t get the correct gasket till Wednesday, will it be okay to make a gasket from 2mm cork sheet?

Hi All, I’m putting the doors back on my rebuild but have Hit a problem, I’ve set the door gsp to 34 1/2 inches and have the bulkhead Parallel to the rear tub but the lock end of the door is 3 inches too low, it looks a lot like the front of the rear tub is 3 inches too high has anyone care across this before? Thanks Jamie

Hi all, I’m reconnecting the wiring on my rebuild and have an issue, I can only get the engine to crank by shorting the start relay direct to earth, there’s a terminal on one of the engine bay plugs that I can’t find a corresponding wire for and seems to be the other end of the relay earth, does anyone know where the start relay is meant to earth to?

Evening all, a friend has message asking me to source him some Allen bolts that take a 3/32” Allen key, if anyone can enlighten me as to what size shank they are I can probably sort him out, from his vague photos it appears to be a UNC thread

Cheers lads, I’ve been rebuilding my 90 and while I’m a fitter by trade we never touch bodywork or welding at work so all the chassis repairs and bulkhead work has been a real learning curve

Hi all, I’m about to start repairing my foot wells and have the panels from YRM and some seam sealer. my question is, does the seam sealer just get brushed over the seams once everything is welded in place or does it have to go in between the seams as well? thanks

Ordered a 20t from sgs, a bit pricey but nice to have decent gear! A bigger one would be nice but the prices start going crazy!

Cheers lads

Evening all, im looking at buying a press for the garage, the most common use will be suspension bushes but I also need to press out my a frame ball joint, what size press should I be looking at? 10t or would bigger be better?

Only 8 months Ed! But it’s still impressive how fresh it looks given the use. after the lockdown I’ll nip up and get some photos for you mate

It’s in the garage at my parents, the maker is tor, who I believe are a local company. unfortunately the tipper is nothing exciting, just a standard transit, not lr based!

I haven’t used it yet, I’m still in the welding phase but the 90’s in the garage at my parents 🙄😬 I’ve got a tin of Marine container paint that the shot blaster who did my chassis put me on to, he uses it for A, containers that he refurbished for the local port authority and B, the backs of transit type tippers, he showed me one he uses for carting gravel about and it looked brand new after 8 months of all sorts being piled in and tipped out so I’m thinking of trying that.

Lovely, thanks very much

Hi all, my freelander 1 has failed it’s mot today, that mot also expires today but I can’t pick it up as I’m stuck in work, it’s failed on various lights out, which I knew about but had no bulbs at home, and the garage has now sorted and a rotten fuel tank strap which comes under the ‘major’ category I know that if the car meets minimum road worthiness I can drive to a retest or place of repair. does a place of repair have to be a registered garage or would driving back to my own garage count? bearing in mind this is the day after the mot expires thanks all

Thanks guys, looks like that may be cheaper than paying the welder!

I thought they did but couldn’t find, I’ll have a better look on my break

Morning all I’m currently rechassing my 90 and when I’ve took the tub to rear xmember bolts out I’ve found that where the bolts go through the tub is rotten, plus it’s also rotten around where the bolts are inside the wheel arch. what’s the best way to repair this? I was thinking of getting a local fabricator to tig in some new aluminium and then I can drill and shape as required? unless there are any other alternatives? thanks

Hmm sounds like it’ll be easier just taking things to work rather than faffing about with my own

Well I’ve got it now and it’s not a massive hardship to repaint over the galv occasionally i suppose

I keep debating whether to get one or for the effort In waiting for compressors and setting up is it easier to just take to work, do you find you use yours quite often or just every now and then?

Hello, does anyone have any experience if the Clarke shot blasters and how effective they are?

Hmm not looking to good really, looks like I’ll be sending it back to buzzweld....
