squeaky steering column
The Kelvinator replied to adrianphu123's topic in Steering, Suspension and Brakes
Dry bearing at top of column perhaps? First time Ive ever heard of this in a Falcon! -
Ok so as most of you know, I have an XD van with a 302 and a clapped out body. I have thought about putting it into my XF panno, just wondering what is it that I need to do so that an engineer can sign off on it easily? One thing I know about is re-location of the heater box.

also, I did that for the vans, they couldnt tell me what option 14 was.....WTF? anyone shed any light on that?

Hmmmm ok, kool as. Interested Glenn?? -
Hay y'all, Ok so as some of you would know by now-I am new to the major vehicle restoration thingy. I am looking to do as much as I can myself, this includes body repairs, preparation, maybe even paint-(thats a while off yet though). The first thing is: I have a large amount of rust in the XD van Im considering doing up, I may see what I can obtain in the way of rust replacement sections and donor bodies to cut out what I need. I may have to hand fab as well. My questions (so far) are these: What size steel do I use? Are switchable Arc/TIG inverter welders suitable?\ Are these units any good? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SPOT-WELDER-GUN-12-ELECTRODES-by-KelArc-UK-FREE-POST-/200829902406?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D7179504701338063511%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D200829902406%26#ht_2602wt_1111 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CAR-BODY-STITCH-WELDER-KelArcWeld-thn-metal-Free-Post-/190753699594?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D7179504701338063511%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D2%26sd%3D200829902406%26#ht_2966wt_1111 Found em on EvilBay.......reasonable price, but just not sure.

Sly, totally agree with the cleaning, no point trying to seal a filthy/oily surface-its a false economy. Also agree with the sealant, from memory I used Permatex, I could be wrong on the type.

1st!! Seeking advice and ideas on a car audio instal xf
The Kelvinator replied to Sardaara's topic in Interior and Car Audio
Cool as, Ive learnt by doing, and having mates help along the way. The biggest job I have done to date is on my white panno-New speakers, (6x9's and 5n3/4 rounds with splits), 4 channel amp, and 4 inch rounds up front. Had to pull head unit out, run power wires, remote wire, and completly recable the back for speakers, cross overs etc. If you know someone thats good-that always helps. -
Its getting to the point that retrofitting LPG isnt really that great an idea. Getting LPG fitted to a new car might make more economic sense. Horses for courses though.
