    I haven't painted a car before but I really get it off on the paint fumes. And I need some experience and practice.:unsure: Send it down to Aus and I'll have a go at it for you.

    Spectra Premium F32A fuel tank/fuel vapor separator fitment

    In Aus we have, and I'm sure you could get it anywhere, stainless steel pot and pan scrubs. They are about the same size as a childs fist but might not be as solid as the pads you are talking about so fuel permeation might be a problem. (don't get the ones with the soap inside). Let me know what...

    Vinegar bath for spindles

    I tried this electrolisis method before I settled on the vinegar. I think it has a place in the removal of rust and think it's place may be for larger applications with larger tanks and other equipment. (Especially WW2 tanks and Howitzers). Where the definitive line is drawn between large and...

    Vinegar bath for spindles

    I've been using vinegar rust removal for some time now and in my opinion 1 or 2 days in a vinegar bath would not damage the spindal in any way. Vinegar is a really, really light acid and you can immediately stop the reaction by just washing it away with soapy water. As the vinegar removes the...

    Can't Remove Caliper From Front Disc Brake Rotor

    There is a certain type of pleasure in bringing something old and corroded back to life especially on a Mustang. After a quick, light wire brushing, a degreaser clean, undercoat and top coat most things come up as good as new. Some things have come up so well I have framed them and hung them up...

    Can't Remove Caliper From Front Disc Brake Rotor

    Hey California 72, last question first, I've used my vinegar over and over again until there is so much grot in there that you say "Yuck, I'm not using that again". As you separate the parts throw them back into the vinegar so that you can clean each part individually. I've normally left parts...

    Undercoating

    Thanks Chris and Hemikiller. I've used lanolin lubricants for some time now and very happy with their longevity, but as you've pointed out, you would probably want to do the underside with something more permanent.

    Undercoating

    Is that a lanolin based wax?

    Undercoating

    Woahhhh not Rich or **** or Richard....That looks really smart. And a chassis rotisseri in your garage; mate thats cool. If for no other reason than to push the project to the side of the garage so the wife can get her Rolls Royce inside.

    Can't Remove Caliper From Front Disc Brake Rotor

    2 Liters of vinegar will do the same for about $2. Just keep everything covered for two or three days and then clean it all off with Kurly Kate. If you have alot of stuff you might have to spend $4. I use PVC pipe of all size diameters with a cap on the bottom as a container.

    Gas Smell

    I talked to a guy called Scott Behncke and got nothin. Maybe he was having a bad day or in a bad mood. Anyway, that's all behind me now. Thanks for the interest

    Fabrice's 429CJ 71 project

    Hi Fabrice, I was having a little sleep under the car which I do sometimes when the wife has her friends over and I saw something, and I said to myself, I've seen that before. It turns out to be the bracket you have just made and showcased in your last post and thought maybe it holds electrical...

    Gas Smell

    Hi 71coop, I have to admit that I didn't know about the 'condition codes' and so I wasn't programmed to look for any. I guess I was under a puerile impression that people wouldn't sell something that was irretrievable; unless you had the talent of Fabrice I suppose we should make sure that we...

    Gas tank issue

    I know it's not polite to hi-jack somebody else's thread but I thought I saw an opening. This fuel cap came with the car when I bought it and I just wanted to know if this is a venting cap and if it only vents suction pressure or both?
