Running the escort live axle with the 3.77 gears. Badly needs 4.3 ratio in the back. Tyres are Toyo RA-1, they seem pretty sticky. Worst place for the car so...
G'Day Andrew, Thanks for that, I don't know whether it was something my end or not, but I can get into Les's site now. Thanks again, Regards, Mike. ... ...
Hi builders, Many space frames have been built with round tube over the years. Has anyone made a round tube Locost? I'm thinking : 1) Higher specific torsional...
Giday Gavin. I agree with both of your thoughts. I think it would have better engineering qualities. Especially if you used Seamless steel tubing. And yes...
Hi Clayton, I am in Southport and have an build in progress. If you want to come have a look and discuss anything you are more than welcome. Give me a call on...
G'Day Rob, Steel or ally? It's a bit too light for the floor if it's steel, and don't even think about it if Ally. our Engineer over here will accept 2mm Ally...

Hi Gavin I bought a really nice hole saw set from Eastern bearings in Rushdale St, near Bunnings on Ferntree Gully Rd, some time ago. I can't recall the brand ...

G'Day Brian & Gavin, I've always meant to get myself one of those hole saw fixtures, but the tool post on my lathe takes a piece of 25mm Sqr tube which...
G'Day Graham, There's a trick for that mate. You cut the Ally at the corners so it is at the same height as the top of the tube, and when you roll it over with...
G'Day Mike Yeah I'm aware of that, used it on my car, I was thinking more about pulling it around the top and bottom chassis tubes, particularly the bottom...
G'Day Graham, Sorry mate, didn't realize you were referring to the top and bottom of the side panels. There's a lot to be said for building a home shop bender...
