wilch: how have you secured the shelf?

1 angle bracket on the back right... screw down into the wood, and then screw into the metal at the back (there is just enough room here for a couple of tiny metal-self-tappers). Also secured at the front with a strip of alluminium which is screwed down into the wood, and down into the "metal battery holder frame".

Check the pics. You can just see them.

wil..

that is funny!! i did alot of scewing into my box and it loved it!!

my stereo isn't finished but i like the hidden approach. it will be all carpeted in grey "frontrunner" and tops made on each side to match up to the sides of the boot.

see pics.

Evil - i like your box, you made it yourself? wood?

yeah i made it. it's 0.8 of a cubic foot sealed. i have to measure it and put the dimensions up (a few people want them). there are more pics in my gallery. sounds good and still leaves a lot of boot space :D

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
