Some good stuff in this thread :drool:. Closely following with keen interest. Cheers, Bill (Adelaide)

Hey Lyndon, I've been a long time missing from these forums, was searching for something recently and have stumbled on your thread. Just reading and catching up on all of it now. Some good reading material. Cheers, Bill (from Adelaide)

If your working on something important on the car and you need uninterrupted time, give the wife your credit card and tell her to go shopping. Trust me you will get more work done. ;)

I installed a manual drain...here's one my Dad used from back in the 60's and its still working fine for me 45 years later...

I'm enjoying this thread. Your cars are great, and so is your wife...lol

Just as a reference in Australia for 240V applications we use a similar type of connector, instead of twist its has a screw. Called Blue Point Connectors. In all high voltage applications, its best to avoid as many breaks/joins as possible. Always use as much wire as necessary to do the job...

You never really think of these type of WWII jobs, until you meet someone who has done it...these people are the unsung heroes...and you dad has talent...God bless him.

Most of the bolt sizes on my Mitsubishi are 6, 8 and 10, (and the few 12 and 14) good thinking from the ****...I can tell them apart from 3 feet away...oops I mean 1 meter away....lol

...and Australia ! :lol_hitti I don't know how this relates to the OP's question though... So is there any way you can tell if a fastener is metric or standard? or should I just figure its metric? I think he has committed suicide after reading everyone else's response :beer:

Nice find!

These are Kincrome (one of the main brands sold in Australia). I've been shopping around for the proper computer drawer slides so that I can have everything pull out easily....the proper draw slides are rated at over 100kgs which will keep everything solid as a rock. I'll let you know how I go...

I like this...and it would look great painted and with a logo.

Welcome one Aussie to another. G'day Mate. As already said there's a couple of us here.

condom! ....assuming some of you can think beyond the obvious. I.e stretch it over the intake/throttle body/carb./inlet, whatever, when working on a motor, helps stop dust and moisture from getting in.

Yes I have them, I bought them new when they were all the rage...never use them...display purposes only...however they are great for doing pull up exercises when you hook them to an overhead tube/pipe/bar at a play ground....they grip very well, but not for precision use, and a bit fiddly to use...

Roto head works for me...whats the tally now? :)

I'm impressed, I learned something new today...thanks for the presentation.

I have heard good things about the Drill Doctor, I WAS planning on getting one soon too....I researched peoples views on the internet, but i've seen negative reviews also...so I am two minds about getting one now...I have also been reading about people's skills on sharpening the drills by hand...

srmofo hit the nail on the head...knowledge of your car is important, and as outlaw covered already, the manuals to your specific car...and make sure you read them cover to cover and understand the processes. Get more than one version OEM and ThirdParty, you will be surprised at the differences...

Well done mate! You brought it back to life! Should be good for another 50 years.
