HAs anyone else gone through the exercise of ringing around and getting prices on storage garages around Melb?

Im over my place looking like a car parts shed and storage place for my sisters shit for when she moved to England.

So anyone know if one place is better then another...is it worth going out of the Melb area, do they get cheaper further out of the city?

Further out is cheaper from what ive found

But that could more have been different companies than anything

Its really hard to workout how much room you need, best to go down there and see it in person is what i found

I looked into it about 3-4 years ago... but then just ended up using a mates shed :)

I'm pretty sure Kennards has fixed pricing.

The cost isn't too bad for a smallish storage shed, my best mate was using one a little while ago, can't remember how much it was though.

I looked into car storage about a year ago now, and they charge like $200 a month :D

Storage King on Nepean Hwy behind Office Works at Moorabbin. We put all our stuff in when went to the UK for a year, not sure how much it is but we still have some bits in there. Will let you know mate :)

Fry's self storage in Bayswater is probably the cheapest in melbourne. 5.6 cubic m lock up storage for $55 a month. 11.2 cubic m for $100 a month. 16.8 cubic m for $125 a month.

Bris, I used kennards in oakleigh a while ago and all was good.

One thing I'd point out is insurance....if you want your stuff properly covered then I believe you have to put it under your own house and contents policy....don't take this as gospel though, just ask the questions.

lol, so this is what we've come to eh bris?

once you've put all your crap in storage, can I store some of my gear at your place? only need about 30 or 40 m2 for now, don't sweat.

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
