Givin the van a tickle

Hi George standard hole sizes in the kit are 60,49,43,34,28,22 mm,I think you can get square dies,1.2mm thick will be fine but I recon you might be pushing it with 4mm? not sure of the limits the electrician's use on thin cabinets
the ram on this sucks in most presses push out so i don't think you could combine the two?
hope this helps.

hi buga's now that winter is over and its wormed up iv been playing with the hole in the floor and other stuff here's some pics
i folded a new floor member which became part of the cover mount and some other angles for the rest of the cover mount also i cut into the fire wall a bit so had to fill that in

[Gunning]

Bloody hell, nice work, nice and clean
I like the yellow colour as well

[phill]

cheers Gunning i still cant decide on a colour yet

using some aluminium to make a template for the eng cover good old gaff tape, i modified the cruise control cable bracket and mounting point on the throttle control thing, rotated the hole thing 90 degrees so it will fit under the cover, modifyed the fire wall and pedal box for the vt-vz booster and got the boys at work to machine a sleeve with a flat tab on the end for the pedal connection

looking good man

cant go without cruise control, that's the cherry on top

I like the commodore shifter cover! and I also love the crow cams sticker on the back window

Hey mate my name is Paul I've been hunting a beddy the past 8 months I was wondering if you know of any for sale please contact me call or text me on 0438 863 323 cheers

cheers Sammy yes cruise control was a must, i made this jig to form the radius's on the ends of the shifter cover so the black cover tongue thing on the shifter can bend down as you change gear, bend a bit push through a bit bend a bit and so on

sorry Paul can't help keep looking mate you'll find one

[Sammy]

reminds me of how I work in my shed, make little things to do stuff I've done a lot of sheet bending along the top of the bench edge with g clamps and lengths of angle iron and such

when you don't have the tools or room and money to get them sometimes you just have to improvise
