Yep. I use the blue painters tape, but stick it to my shirt first to make it less grabby before putting it onto fresh paint.

Thought I had upper and lower spacers, but can only find the lower one.

Been a while since updates

Not much has happened haha , decided to take a rest after it came back from the painters .

I have this week off though and have got the ute booked in all week to make some progress.

Recieved the billet collapsible column and steering wheel back from billet works in WA super impressed with there service and product. We sent the steering wheel to them as well they have a guy that restores them . He did a cracker of a job the wheel was pretty far gone had pieces missing from the boss and heaps of cracks . As much as I despise white interior cars we went with land cruiser pearl white finish to break up the interior a bit , I think it should work well. Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk

Hi all

Wondering if anyone can help identify the callipers so I can get a rebuild kit ? Hr disc frond end if that helps ?

Also we are at a crossroads with the diff , get the banjo done up or a 9 inch ? Does anyone have any feed back on the rod shop 9" diffs ? Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk

Genuine HR disc caliper for sure.

9” is overkill though relatively accessible. They are big and heavy. Shortened Borg Warner are easily capable of handling abuse. Banjo are easy but getting scarcer and dearer. They handle sensible use well in a lighter car such as FB EK.

Agree with Clay re the caliper.

What engine are you running ? A 9" is overkill unless you are planning on a 400+hp donk and sticky tyres

Hi Blacky

186 out to a 192 , star fire rods extensive head work and tripple webbers with a celica 5 speed . The car won't be driven stupid so will probably just stay with the banjo.
