I did the mig one at box hill tafe a few years ago.. Invaluable.

Looks like there TIG and general Welding course too.

Where do you get mt-rs for $312!?!?!

Yep mines 24V cig lighter too.

The wiring diagram shows a 12V supply for the stereo, it must be there somewhere.

I have a 24V version on my Unimog

How much was postage?

ARB sell the original "Hi-Lift" as their "ARB Hi-Lift Jack" http://www.arb.com.au/hi-lift-jack.php I got the 4' 1.3m high lift from ARB, seemed liek the right price ($150 or $159) . I figured an extra $30 or $40 more than a generic china brand high lift jack was worth it. No one in Melbourne (TJM ...

They are a tube type tyre.

It has been suggested a few times they may have been fitted using the wrong compound like you say.

Will investigate further and attempt to clean the bead too.

Following on from my thread http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/ftopic142448.php I would like to get any general advice regarding what size tubes should be fitted in tyres and how it might effect things wiht undersize tubes. Also any thoughts on why my tyres are rotating on the rim at 25psi and what ...

Simo,

Do you know what size tubes you were running?

The ones the tyre place installed for me are 7.0/7.5 x 16 however talking to my local tyre bloke he reckons they are too small.

This could be why the tyre was rotating on the rim.

Any thoughts?

Simo, thanks for your reply. I will have to experiment with lower pressures then and keep an eye on it. At least they aren't hard to pop off the rim and reset the tube placement if it does rotate. I had heard of people grooving the centre rib and definately something im considering.. Shakes, I guess ...

Last week I recieved my new MT117 - 285 85 16's. They are 900mm diameter so equivalent to 35.5" and 11.2" wide. These are my actual measurements. The actual tread with is XXXX (will update this when i measure it). http://www.silverstone.com.my/tyre_mt117.asp MY VEHICLE: My car, 308 MQ patrol 4sp ...

Flack Jacket for your engine?

It doesn't matter that much which way round you read it, just notice it starts from the centre and works it way outwards.

Or fuse. Took a little bit to track down this as the cause of my alternator stopping at wonnagatta.

From what we worked out, the trace wire went through the fuse block.

You need a multimeter and wiring diagram to determine if the alternator is charging or if it is a wiring issue.

Pretty sure he wants to know the exact width of the tyre fitted to whatever width rims the patrol has. Perhaps you could specify the rim width and post in the general section to get an answer? I guess the tyre shop told you it would be around 285mm. If it helps (which it doesnt really) my new ...

Tank certification is only valid for 10 years...... your 2.5years past its "useby date" :finger: So either you havent had the tanks re-certified ..... naughty boy ! or You removed the tanks and had them recertified away from the vehicel.... I therefore asume you did this under your LPG fitters ...

Don't turn it. Thats such a stupid idea, when they're built, they're balanced. And if you go changing it, you're going to throw the balancing out. You can check for yourself, if you open it up, check the back of the wheels they should have gouge marks from where they are balanced. So basically ...

New tyres arrived today, MT 117s. http://members.optusnet.com.au/~julian_s/patrol/IMG_0814.jpg Since the golden rule is to not spend more on any mod than you did on the actual car, I couldnt buy a 5th tyre for the spare. My plan is to purchase a 2nd hand spare. So the MT117's measure 900mm (35.5 ...

Thanks for the info guys. I got the lines done yesterday (except for the fillers) and hydrostatic valve mounted so we are almost in business.

Going to be nice to drive more than 250kms between stops.

cheers

I have a 60lt tank in the back and just finished installing the 90lt below the car. Now I can't see that it matters the order which it fills however the physics of LPG are still new to me so I'm asking this question: Does it matter the order the tanks fill? Ie with a single filler hose,do i run the ...

have had a GMC drop saw for about 2 years, made intercooler piping, turbo manifold, assorted metal stuff.

Cant go wrong for price.

Mate has a metal bandsaw. Its great and cuts straight but is slow.

Got my harnesses for the rally car from the UK http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk was the cheapest (and where I bought) and you could also try http://www.rallynuts.co.uk Worked out to be half the price of buying in Australia however these are FIA harnesses so perhaps the alternative you need isn't that ...

Been looking for a while on here and other forums and I can't seem to find much information on tuning the idle on a 300a mixer. Can anyone breifly run through the procedure? I have it running now but the throttle stop is screwed quite a way in from where it used to be so needs a bit of work! Also ...

SSR = radial TSL's?

Whats the issue, no one has the radial?

Its not in Sydney, but I found the GMC tanks in Bunnings in Bayswater Vic last night in the tool section next to the air compressors. My local Bunnings doesnt seem to have them.

So give Bunnings tool section a shot, either try multiple bunnings or ask if they can order them in.

9kg gas bottle = 21lt. I assume TP = test pressure = to 3.3 MPA = 493psi What is the working pressure of a LPG bottle? My conclusion is that a $30/40 bunnings LPG bottle plus some fittings = cheap air reservoir. Could even get two at that price! Is there a reason why I can't find any info on other ...

Yeah I like what im hearing.

For me road noise isnt much of an issue (ie only driving on road to get to off road) plus my gearbox whine and exhaust exhaust should drown out the tyres.

Ill look into the TSL's and boggers, they look good

By "wearing fast" do you reckon doing 500km on road each month would be worth getting something less chunky. The other tyres I was looking at was someting like the silverstone mt117 sport (after just reading that thread). The Mud tyre ones not the creepy copies. I guess I don't want to buy the ET's ...

Time for some new (or 2nd hand perhaps) 35's for my MQ. My decision was almost made to get some open tread mud tyres like extreme trekkers however lately I have been thinking mud terrain radials might be better. Intended use is weekend day trips and the monthly camping trip (ie 3-500km on road plus ...
