Re: good grinders

Don't laugh, but a BEST BUY from Supercheap. I have several myself and given them shit for about 2 years now.
I cut/grind concrete as a job, and we use BEST BUY grinders for doing edges and what not where a normal concrete grinder can't get to. They get given hell and never die. You can drop them ...

Sandblasting/Powdercoating bullbar.

I'm looking for a powdercoater/sandblaster in the brisbane northside area. I have a baby 5 poster bullbar that has had a few to many coats of kill rust on it. Just wondering if anybody has any recommendations/a basic price?

Cheers.

Re: interior light 75 series

An led drains stuff all, so just tap into any wire with full time power, and put a switch spitting the positive wire.
People might not approve, but i wouldn't bother with relays and what-not. It's an led that drains minimal power and would be on for only a short amount of time.
If you wanted to get ...

Re: Grinding noise in 4x4

From memory it happens in 2-5, I don't know about 1, I'm never in it long enough to find out. If it's just the shaft I might wait until I get a lift, and just buy a new shaft to suit. I've got to start watching what I spend as of 9am this morning, who knows what's going to happen to the country. A ...

Re: Tailshaft lenghts

Might sound stupid, but do spacer blocks exist? Is there any reason you could get a machine shop to make up a 45mm spacer and just buy some longer bolts? I imagine it would be a lot cheaper then a custom made shaft. Just a suggestion.

Who needs a clutch, start it in gear down a hill, shift without the clutch, and stall it at every set of lights.

I'll try taking the shaft out again and see what happens, and hopefully i'll be able to nick someones else driveshaft and give it a go. I guess its just a process of elimination. I'll get it up on the ...

Grinding noise in 4x4

I have a 75 series cruiser with a 1hz and since going to rainbow a fortnight ago, I have developed a loud grinding noise coming from the gearbox area. Its only there in 4x4, both high and low, and only there when there I take my foot off the accelerator. Anybody have any idea what this is? It's got ...

75 series with a 1hz. Bit slugish, but as long as it has a decent clutch, it will tow anything anywhere. Plently of room on the tray for the spares as well.
