The fuel pump died on my old Rodeo flat tray ute some years ago - quote for the pump only from the Holden dealer was almost $450 + fitting :stars:.

I bought a pump from Bursons Automotive for $160...

Thanks guys.

I'll be picking up the hubs after I get the frame organised, looks like the cruiser wheels would be a close enough match that no-one will notice any difference.

Gristle.

I don't remember where, but I'm sure I saw somewhere that they aren't a direct fit.

A friend has asked me to build him a custom 8 x 5 box trailer, single axle with Landcruiser hubs and electric brakes. :2tsup:

He wants to use the same wheels as the tow vehicle - Mitsubishi...

I got an earlier (NiCad) version of this makita 18v saw recently and for light use, it's amazing :oo:

Half the weight of a small 240v saw, very solidly built too.

Be sure to have a spare...

I've picked up a few useful offcuts from the local council recycling centre.

I'm planning to extend my old Hills hoist :q

And spray on cold galv is available from engineering suppliers.

I think you'll find a hint of blowback is standard for reed valves.:U

They are slow to react due to their mass, and the piston will start it's compression stroke before they close fully.

I got a 750X on ebay (US) for about 240AU delivered.:D
110 volt of course, so a 300 watt 240/110 inverter for $50 took care of that!

Under $300 for a top of the range model suits me :)

Always...

Sounds not dissimilar to a problem with my transmig 160 a few months ago.

I sent some digital pics of the circuit board to a techie friend and he diagnosed some potential dry solder joints on it....

That's certainly cheap :2tsup:

I'll give them a call.

Cheers Acton, Premier have 2.5 mm (as opposed to 3 mm at the other places) for around $81.50 per 6.5 metres :U

Still a bit of a fright when you need a few lengths :C:C

I can't be sure - the quote was from a member of "Admin" and took several minutes to get.

I was so stunned by the reply that I staggered out of the office in a daze :C

It's a moot point, I...

A bit of an update to my particular needs - the quote of $224 per 8 metres was from Onesteel.
A call to Smorgon Steel gave a price of $88 for 6.5 metres ! That's a bit closer to reality .:;

There...

Sounds reasonable !

I got a price today on 25 x 25 x 3 SHS to build a stock crate frame for a ute.

A single 8 metre length (I need 3 ) was $224 :o:o:o

The last time I built one (in 1986)...

Excellent advice Grahame, I've always tacked before final assembly, but too often the tack failed when moving the job for the next tack.

Your advice - " A tack should be carried out at...

I'm pretty sure the amps has little to do with the process.

As long as you've got more (DC) volts than the original pack, I think it will work.
My MIG puts out 33 volts with no load, but about 15...

If they are NiCads, have a look at this.

There are some negative comments from some people, but I assure you it...

Despite being committed to embracing the metric system (especially after 12 years in a timber mill where it was all they used), I've always done my calculations in MPG.

Funny thing, almost every...
