Hi fingers,in the manual it said to use white grease(zine oxide) Thats as close as i could get with my grease collection.

The paint reminds me of a popular colour from the 70s, "Persian Sand"

Love the pattern on the door cards and seat upholstery


Should be a cool combo once it's up n' running..

not so much with that carpet....

moved the front seat back around 60mm feels more comfortable but cuts the leg room in the back seat although i can move the seat forward and i got my new plates, there on my ute for now.my next job is to weld these in (don't know there name),don't know why we did'nt do them, when we put the rest of the strenghtening kit in in 2003.

You can get white grease from a good bicylce shop .............Fingers

After reading FBIDEK's thread on VN diff shortening,I got my VS ute diff out and found them to nbe the same size
so out came the grinder
and now it's stripped ready to cut
I'm just trying to find out what saddles and u-bolts to buy before i cut it, so i can do it all in one go
It's been a bit cold the last couple of days
i ordered the v6 conversions front end today 4 to 6 week wait so i'll get a move on brake & petrol lines to makeup & power booster to get

cut the diff today was difficult getting it in the right spot to cut it square'( got the level out)


then cut the 95mm off

got some thick pipe that fits great and cut to 240mm abit long maybe (it won't move)

cut a slit two blades thick


drilled the 8 holes to weld the two pipes together

got the wrong saddles on friday as the holes were too small

my biggest drill is 2mm too small 24mmis needed,should of got the &*#@ one with the 24mm hole too late now

will weld it all when i get the saddles done

Thinking of getting these ubolts there 70mm http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/260995733980 ... 1423.l2649
as the next size up i can find is 75mm, my diff is 71mm as far as i can see
