Tbh I cant remember the grade stainless, pretty sure it was just regular Aeroflow or similar.  I would make a straightener like this, but tbh for $105 just buy one.

Main reason why I want hardline. So I don’t have to straighten it.

What stainless did you use?

What sort of gizmo could you make?

I did mine in stainless, looks scmick as, little harder to work.  If I did it again I would probably have borrowed or made a tube straightener.  Now I have a 3D printer i prob would have made one.

Cheers for that its over 44 degrees here today, so the spraying is on hold.  Joe is coming over first thing tomorrow morning, and I picked up a half a liter of Alpine White.  Be good to finish the plenum, then I can get stuck into fitting the new Cowl etc, as we have a few cooler days coming up.

Yeah for my brake lines.

I would like it in hard drawn if possible.

Not sure this is the hottest thread on here, but at least its a single spot to store the progress info

Have had my young mate Joe from up the street giving me a hand the last couple of days.  Really happy with how its coming along.  I want to get the plenum done, then I can fit the new cowl panel etc.  Made up a bodgy spray booth to at…[Read more]

Yeah that’s was my last resort. If it can’t find anything.

Im most likely going to make my lines and then get them coated anyways.

Im struggling to find some 3/16 in hard drawn.

Its not a massive or costly job to get parts re-anodised in black if you get stuck Cav.  I did on my injector adapters.

Ian, Where abouts you buy your fittings from? I’m trying to source some bulkheads and inverted flares to suit the vz master for mine. But I wanna try and find them in black if possible. Ever seen any?

Well, this long saga continues.  Brenton was off crook before Xmas, so no dyno, THR just rang me (they have been good with communication) and it seems he has next week off, then is back for a week then off again.  I guess its sit back and wait, I’m getting good at that    At least I have the VL to keep me occupied.

Man, been away from here for a while and missed this, you have some serious fab skills.  Nice work.  So those fittings literally mean you don’t have to bleed them at all? Interesting to see this evolve over the last year or so, like night and day, love it.

Nice, parts list coming together

Looking great mate, loving the black/white theme.  Def Tri Y Pacemakers best off the shelf fitment by far.  Cut off the 2.5″ collectors and make new 3″.  I did and made 508rwhp with them so they are not bad power wise either.

Scored this for $100 about 10 minutes from me    Most of it is mint but has rust in one spot but mine is mint there so should be able to make a really nice repair on it. Cowl repair coming along too, although bit hard to get a decent run at it as lots of socializing being done this time of the year

yeah I browsed your thread other day. There isn’t much room. But I rekon these could of been done a lot better. Tri Y would be best interns of clearance.

Maybe look into a 1 7/8 tri y setup.

I should of gone custom from the start. These owe me $650. So I persisted with them….. sadly.

Bracket is from Lowe fab that I got powder coated. Along with strut tops and my brace etc.

Master booster is a painted Vz Maloo item. Cap and reservoir is New old stock.

Managed to get the lock working, I think the VL was the best of the first gens, I love the interiors.  Each to their own

Yea, I guess the reality is they are 30 years old and Holden weren’t exactly on top their game back the rust wise!!

Btw, not sure how many people are following this on here, but if anyone has an early girl shell, I am looking for a small section of the lower passenger side windscreen area for a rust repair.  Obviously easier for me northern…[Read more]

So decided to have crack at the windscreen cowl.  Got a “professional” to come and pull out the screen, of course he broke it, also left the car covered in shit.  Not happy Jan.  But have cut out the old cowl, and its a bit like doing the Kombi, I separated off the the old panel part that’s been spot welded, then linished it back to good me…[Read more]

assuming you can weld and fabricate lol
