Re: HJ45 flatdeck restoration
Really nice job on this truck 8) I've been looking around for this on the road but haven't seen it yet, I like how you resisted the urge to modify it to much ! I want to do a 45 like this when I get time, can't decide wether to do a pale green like this or a mustard yellow to go with my 40, got both...

Re: Chch cert guy
Would recommend Jon Palmer if he is travelling up to Chch, he worked with me on certifying my modified FJ40, he didn't mind a lot of questions from me and even came to check out what I was doing at my place one night. Good guy who seems genuinely interested in all sorts of vehicles, some of those ot...

Aisin hubs
Got some Aisin hubs on my FJ40.
Doing some work on my front hubs today and the big coil spring that pushes the gears in, broke near the middle
Anybody know where to get parts, new or used for these, besides going to a wreckers yard?

Not against the whole democracy return thing but not keen on the Labour Party involvement in this referendum.
That is all, not interested in getting into a political party debate.

Re: Seatbelt mounting brackets
Have you tried Seatbelt Sales in ChCh?
They had no trouble supplying all the hard wear and belts that I needed when I retro fitted retractable belts to my FJ40.

Hope all you Rover nuts managed to catch the TV3 show Saturday night called 'For the love of cars'.
I'm a Toyota fan but still really enjoyed this show, great to see an old girl being restored again, had some cool side stories about Landrovers around the world to.

Re: trailer???? bugger it ill go transporter
It's easy as to keep something on hold/exempted, you stick it on hold for anywhere between 3 months and a year and when your yearly reminder letter turns up, you jump onto LTSA website and can exempt/hold it for another year in round 1 minute. I've had a ke30 Corolla on hold for 10 years this way. I...

Suzuki MG410 parts ??
Just got one of these cheap as a farm runabout but need a few bits (rear axle seal, rear wheel brake cylinders and some u-bolts.
Where is the best place to get hold of these parts and other stuff i might need, in the south island?
Look forward to hearing from some Suzuki owners, thanks.

Yeah your truck had a big exo and was generally more of a tough truck than mine is if i remember right Fakey?

Hey Fakey, im sure there is the usual small differences in interpretation between certifiers on this, but it is meant to be - 5 stops, each from 100kmh to 0kmh (coming to a complete stop each time in 4 seconds) continuously and all this has to happen within 2 minutes total time. Pretty sure that i r...
