Australia is a little behind the times with Seat Belts & safety gear

from what i gather the First seminar held late last year ( 2007 ) by the Australian Institute for Motor Sport Safety ( AIMSS ) is planing to address a lot of the issues & bring the standards inline through most ...

Aust Rally cars are 5 years from date of manufacture. As many are over a year old when supplied / bought, they get turned over.

what price would you put on your life...... dont base the cost of a harness on Price

if you want a cheap harness i have an RPM Harness in the shed that you can have for a lazy $50.00

thanks to the guys for there helpfull information but i have now purchased what i needed & yes its an Engel

been shopping for an Engel fridge & contacted the local Retravision store to see what they could do & was told thet that dont carry them

Sutton brand work fine in a proper Notcher. Looking at your notcher you have to much distance between the support and the tube you are notching. It would work a lot better if you can get rid of the Chuck and the arbour and have the hole saw mounted directly to the shaft.

i couldnt agree more ...

is there any 12 core flex availiable or does everybody just use 7 core & run H/Duty cable for the others

have a look around your local area for somebody who has a dyno

it will be easier to tune with the right info

if not then they will only be guessing with the jets going by the color of the plugs

i would sugest that you pull one of the hubs & take it with you as from what i have seen Holden hubs can use the standard bearing or the SL bearing if useing a large axle

hope it helps

75 X 50 X 2.5 = 4.58Kg / Meter #0.450

75 X 50 X 2 = 3 ...
