Re: Rebuilding of Old Timer (EK wagon)
Hi Stewart,
I have to say top job job mate. I know what you mean about a lot of hours and not much to show for it
Mate, can I ask if your using your old guard seals or are they new? Mine are shot and I haven't had much luck finding any so far.
Cheers
Craig.

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: Rebuilding of Old Timer (EK wagon)
Thanks for all the comments guys. Appreciate it.
Craig - I had to make them up. Like Blacky said try Clarke Rubber for a similar profile then cut to suit and punch out the holes. I got my rubber from Graham rubber near where I work and took in a sample profile. http://www.grahamrubber.com.au/
Wayne - great idea plus I will be adding a NASCO sticker on it too...how's a $1000 sound? but you get a club discount...$999...just kidding. If you want to borrow it let me know...
Sam - It will be close. Am hoping to take a week off in September sometime and get stuck into it.

Re: Rebuilding of Old Timer (EK wagon)
not a bad idea Dave...so long as you and Susie come too in the Sydney County Council electricity van...How about you take her to the drive in.
You in Sam?

Re: Rebuilding of Old Timer (EK wagon)
Stewart i know this is a pg thread but i really think you should take rachelle on your own. It would be to cramped and wierd with all us there.

Anyway, I think our wives would want to use this thing to stretch a pair of something else , once they add up all the bills on what we've spent on these cars
