    Snowflake rims - Identification.

    No real difference if bought separately. Different date wheels are machined slightly differently on the rim area. Early wheels had a square end profile on the spokes, later had a radius.

    I think all Snowies were cast in NZ. The cap sits flush on un-machined Snowies but sits proud on machined Snowies.

    XE ESP and ZL had the "star" centre cap.

    Definitely un-machined, I've stripped a few ESP Snowies.

    Date is on bottom left of pic. This wheel is a Feb '84.

    All XE ESP rims were unmachined, as were ZL Sportsman. Maybe EA S Pack were unmachined as well, not fully sure on that.

    Looks like an XE ESP wheel. Unmachined face. Wrong centre cap.

    security nut removal

    These are brilliant! I got some off the Wurth rep after I tested his sample one on a high tensile bolt with a rattle gun, just screwed the head off.

    esp grey material colour names

    I bought a full "re-trim", that included new strapping under the seats, new bolster foam where it was needed, full strip and fit of new cloth trim on both front and rear seats and new vinyl trim. I don't know what Ben charges per metre.

    spac rims

    I agree, they don't look great. But that's what they came with, so that's what people will want to put back on their resto project. Just FK'N get over it!

    stripped water pump thread

    I just love it when someone can spend 2.5 hours and say they have saved heaps. If I charged that on a thread fix in my machine shop, I would be told to shove it!!

    stripped water pump thread

    Use a Recoil. It uses a stainless insert that replaces the original alloy thread.
