Yeh…… nah!

Glad to see I’m not the only one who has a piece of cardboard handy for the Ute

With the 14” jelly bean mags, I got jack of having to pump two wheels up as they would lose air after a week. I assumed the rims were porous as others have suggested but thought I’d get a soap mix on all the wheels and see what was going on. Found the problem…….. No wonder they were going flat ...

Interested to see what you can come up with Brett, a bit of the old and new combined.

Hmmmm….. Demonstrates they (and others no doubt) just manufacture & sell stuff and work on the basis only 5% of customers may complain / provide feedback on poor quality.

Whilst I have never had to buy speed nuts I assumed they were readily available??

Sounds good

Neat work Scott,

There is a big difference in the diameter of the hole in them speed nuts, wow! So your car will be fitted with FB trim is that right?

Thanks Joe all received. Package heading your way see my PM.

Joe
Found it . Quality is not good but it works and it’s free. Zap me your address if it is of use.

Hi Joe

I think I have a spare second hand door handle I just need to find it! I will look tomorrow and advise. With your speedo it might just need lubricating with a couple drops of fine oil, as mine did. It was so tight to turn it broke the cable inner.

Stephen

That’s a neat fit Brett, looks great

Stephen

Has it always had low oil pressure, or has it just fallen off lately?

Nice work Daz, you should be very happy with how the car is progressing.

Stephen

Looks like good value. Car sits nice and those wheels finish it nicely.

What 4 speed box bolts up to a grey? Do you need an adapter plate and ek auto (and later) floor hump? Just curious

Stephen

It was about time to get some new treads on the Ute so pulled the wheels off and gave the rims a hit with degreaser and pressure cleaner, then off to get 185/80 x 13” tyres fitted up (Nankang). Whilst the wheels were off prepped the rims and painted them with gloss black paint.

Put them in the sun ...
