HOLY CRAP! Where are you? Any chance of reselling on 20ltr drums? :P

Ska/Beer Barron, your correct, Port Moresby Street Racer here :) belive me it has it's benifits.

toluene is readilly available in Aus in 200ltr drums, i got those drums as part or our Gun Wash Thinner Order from a major solvent manufacturer. wish gun Wash was a good Octane booster at 0.70c a liter it's definately affordable :rolleyes:

Toluene is $1.70 per liter from the three sources i checked + $25 for the drum. the $1.70 includes a tarrif of 0.39c since July 1 2006, if not for the tarrif the price would be sensational.

i just hope it gets me above 96 or so, fingers crossed...................................

Try this mob

Auschem NSW Pty Ltd

91 Newton Rd Wetherill Park NSW 2164

ph: (02) 9756 5559 Solvents

I gave them a call for 20l drum its $68...anywhere cheaper then that. Its pure toluene and its a shell brand.

Thats $3.40 p/l is it worth it.

I contacted Shell and auschem is their only distributor in sydney, bummer.

I contacted Bp and they have no distributor in Sydney? damn..

Anyone else that may supply toluene, I have rang numerous parts places some said good luck and most of them said have no idea what it is.

When i was in the screen printing industry, the company also had a litho printer..

from memory, as i used to have to get buckets full of solvents from the chemical shed for cleaning screens

Toluene was used for cleaning the rollers on the litho machine. they had many big drums, maybe i should pay them a visit and see if i still know anyone who works there.

2 bucks a L!!! anyone interested in a group by :D

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
