So true IJ at times it’s a bit overwhelming, but every hour is an hour closer to the finish .

Hell that’s all looking neat mate. Top work. Maybe the Binkey boys need to take a leaf out of your book!!

^will log in as admin later and clean that up for you when I get chance

Got a bit done today, heading off to an Aussie day BBQ at a mates so don’t have a full day.  Got the two lower long side verticals in.  Had a head scratch and thought if I made the join above the weld of the long side repair I could get to both side of that weld and g…[Read more]

I thought that’s what I wrote?, ie the 200 (Teflon) being easier than the rubber.  But I am getting old!!

Tbh its so long since I did any hose work on mine I don’t remember that.  I can’t believee that pic mate, seriosuly I couldn’t believe how easy the 200 series was to fit after working with the rubber.  Aeroflow seems to have a bad name, althought that wasnt my experience.

In fact, I reckon I still have a bit that’s been cut that’s just in the box hardly splayed if you know what I mean.  That must be a total pita.

Jesus wept, that’s bullshit.  Mine did nothing like that, not even close.  Maybe that needs to be sent back?

A few more bits of the jigsaw puzzle that is Walter have arrived.  So might get a bit more done this weekend fingers crossed

These, I have set, they are excellent.

Koul Tools AN -6 -8 -10 Hose End Assembly Tools For Aeroquip, Earl's, Fragola, Russel Or XRP Ends

Easy as mate, anytime don’t hesitate, this sort of stuff gets a lot of use for short time then sits on the shelf, always happy to loan it out to the right person of course

They are not the kind of thing you use every day, but does make it easier.  Once again petty we arent closer together could have given you them to use.  Prob too late to post them over, your pretty much done right?

Totally, it was/is gorgeous.

I must have had “good” hose, as I don’t remember anything like that.  In fact the opposite, I couldn’t believe how much easier it was to use the 200 than the 100 previously.  I have a set of “kool tools” though, do you use them?

^tend to agree with Vin.  I am not sure I have heard of 3 pass radiator.  Mine is double pass, which means the tank has a divider in it so the coolant has to go across the radiator once like normal but then back across again as a second pass.  Power makes heat, that’s the prob, and the bays on these cars are small which makes it worse.  Maybe eve…[Read more]

^the prototype of that was displayed alongside the Senator at Holden’s Back Home.  So beautiful, they should have built it.

I can’t say I remember what you are talking about, must have had a good batch or something.

I’m surprised, I found it really easy, what don’t you like?
