Re: Radiator shop recommendations: Sydney?
how is access? the usual way to repair is just silver solder, clean well with heat (not heaps of heat just enough for melting solder) wire brush and acid (can't remember what type of acid we used to use) then heat flux and silver solder special attention to trying to keep as little heat as possible...

Re: Radiator shop recommendations: Sydney?
Ring Arthur at North Shore Radiators . He's done a great job on both radiators I've had him do, one of which required an intricate, non-pressurised overflow system to be rebuilt. On my EK, he used the old tanks but put in a triple row CT core to keep it cooler. Arthur's not cheap but neither is his...

Re: Leroy the EK Ute
Thought I'd revive this old build thread to bring attention to Leroy, my EK Ute... that I will be putting up for sale soon. Tough decision to be sure, I had lunch with Jodie (widow of Bill, Leroy's owner from 1982 - 2017) and she has given me her blessing. Now, I've seen the prices folks are asking ...

Re: dash piece
Hey Steve, I have the aluminium trim peice from LH A pillar to radio. It has the TINNIEST hole drilled in it near radio end, some very careful work could peen it from the rear side so that you'd hardly notice it at all. Otherwise intact and straight. SMS me if you want photos and to discuss - I'm in...

Re: Leroy the EK Ute
Yep, I think you're all right: there's no way 'round it. I sent the MIG up to my brother's place a while back, sounds like I found a reason to pay him a visit!

Re: Leroy the EK Ute
Well, the Taxman has caught up with me somewhat this year, which means Leroy (on Historic rego) is gonna get a bit more use over the coming month or three, while I scrape together the beans to register my daily driver. I’m not a bit mad about that to be honest :) The LH window stopped working as per...
