the thing with these benders are the walls of the dies a too thin and splay out when used. they're fine for a while but eventually stretch and cause kinking in the centre of the bend. the rollers on the sides cause indents on either side where they contact the pipe and don't actually roll. still...

have been working closely with an engineer over the build and has said it won't be a problem, i need to come up with a design with all dimensions, thicknesses, etc. he'll advise me of any changes possibly required. once they're built he'll inspect and have them load tested. ideas, hints?

had this in the suspension section but poorly worded and vague will be making up a set of tubular front wishbones as i'm n need of a couple of inches extra track each side and don't believe in wheel spacers. it's also a bit much for a different rim offset. just checking if any one has made...

think i've been missunderstood, i need to make arms approximately 2 inches longer due to the new body versus the original witdth. truck body onto car sized chassis.

but no death penalty here

has anyone ever built their own front wishbones? have rebodied a HQ 1 tonner chassis with a 69 international truck cab (similar to many dodges) and the track is much narrower (of coarse) on the chassis. will make up a jig to ensure everything is spot on, just after any hints, tricks, things to...

so does the crown have a four bolt flange for a uni or a direct uni mount?

the brake mech itself is not a problem, real question was just the possibility of converting sliding yoke to fixed. like the crown option of half cuts due the seperate ecu's and log extractors(even with the restriction)

when i'll be putting the 1uz and auto in the truck, one problem i'll encounter is the handbrake. the dana 80 has not got the handbrake on the rear drums but relied on a drum setup on the output shaft on the trans. i know that the crown has a sliding yoke to suit live axle applications but but...

would just like to note that not all the r series 4x4 boxes' transfer cases are actuated via an electric motor. my r150f box is stubby lever shifted.

will be engineered, will be running the standard auto that comes with it. may get some valve body work done on it. pretty much will keep the motor standard except maybe exhaust, intake(still NA), and possible aftermarket ECU after the engineering is done and funds(girly) allow. the main thing...

all to be done in good time.... have already shaved the door handles, fuel filler, badges and converted the windows to electric one piece. dropping onto the HQ chassis has lowered the cab approx 6". the truck will ride on air, with custum front arms to widen the front track closer to the inter's...

just after experiences, recommendations and/or warnings about importers around aus. looking at getting a 1uz half cut for the conversion in the truck. also things to look out for. things apart from AFM and ignitors to make sure will be there, etc. have had a bit of a search but can't find...

hey guys, this is the international as i bought it a while back and this is pretty much how it is today, although in the garage now.
