• Tough phenolic resin
• Zinc phosphate
• 24"-long tube with conical nozzle reaches in .......sounds like a night at Helga's House of Pain. (errr........so I've been told)

Looks good, what could possibly go wrong. ?? Can you get that here?? Not sure if you can post aerosols overseas.

POR15 is good stuff, trying to remember a cheaper product I have used on motorbike fuel tanks....... brain dead, old fart.

I don't know if you can get it locally? I found it while searching for something else...

I think if you used this and taped it to a coat hanger wire to be able to direct it, and use one of those inspection cameras http://bestcamerareview.us/kysee-unseen-inspection-camera/

You would be able to seal around the air vent area pretty well....?

Anyone ever used something like this....?

I've taken a few work cars to Jacob springs and they were very accommodating, I'll be going back there for sure..

Nice one... As long as the insert is flush and not sticking out you should be good mate!

As i said, not as easy as it seems to do a good tap job

Firstly as said need to use the right drill bit

Also you need to use cutting oil (not any lube) and need to know when to pull the tap out to clean and go again

Sharpness of the tap is another variable

Its a bit of an art form which im not good at myself

 

Helicoil seems to be the last resort

Also you will find when drilling most holes it will open up to .1mm bigger than than size your drilling... Even more so if your using a portable/cordless drill... So for M10 tap I would use an 8.4mm drill.

Probably too late now, but food for thought...

You wouldn't believe it but I didn't even get a chance to look at the car this weekend... Long weekend it will have to be now!

I'm having issues getting onto photobucket with my iPad, anyone else having problems?

I know it's too late to reply now mate but I would take a rim into a tyre joint and show them the hub of the rim and ask them what type of nuts you need to buy and tell them that they are going on a ford and they should sell you the appropriate type. Good luck

Cheers mate, I ended up finding the right ones today

Come on guys I'm sitting outside bursons now! can anyone tell me what I need to buy??

Bump..... Anyone?

Well I ended up buying the Fr's.... So I'm pretty excited!

I'll be trying them on for size this weekend

Can someone tell me what wheel nuts I will need and where to buy them, I'm assuming the snowflake nuts are different...?

sorry for the late reply its a big forum

i think you will be fine if you run with that offset

Cheers mate, I'm going to get them tomorrow

Yes, yours look like they fit perfectly.. so you think I won't have any dramas if I got those wheels?

Who would know if a 4.5 inch back spacing on the fronts will cause any issues??

Please any help is much appreciated.

I checked the build threads... Yours and sikxe351 both have zero offset?

They definitely look great, no doubt about it... but will the back spacing cause me any issues? I'd hate to spend that sort of cash and have them rub on the guards or worse...?

Front wheels have a back spacing of 4.5 inches

 

Rear wheels have a back spacing of 4 3/4 inch

Sweet, I'll check out those threads, cheers guys!

I had fr17 Simmons on my xd, they were 10 inches wide on the back with 0 offset.

Do you have any pics mate?

Hi guys, I'm keen to buy some rims but I'm not clear on what offsets I need for my XE GHIA sedan?

Would these fit perfectly to my car?

If anyone has any pics of FR17s on an XE, I would live to see them

Nice work LTD083....!

I would be interested in this too... Does anyone have a close up picture or even better some measurements of the cut out sections?

Hi mate, if its an LED unit, it will have plenty of light at 12v supply. I've used them at work and light output was never a drama...

Test it directly onto the battery to give you an idea..
