Yeah i have my old skyline rotors i might machine off the brake surface and use the hat as a template as that locates on the centrebore. I also have studs so ill just turn them into centre punches and once the first holes drilled ill just bolt it down.

Cheers yeah the mokes been a journey

FULL new wiring harness

post-96314-14204613366467_thumb.jpg

New floor, all suspension rebuilt, blasted and powdercoated, drum to disk conversion etc was a massive build and all done by myself and just trial and error so that was why i did get rather frustrated before as you now might understand :)

Nice work on the Moke.

Im envious of the wiring. I remember how simple it used to be playing with 1970 era auto electrical. Am currently stripping redundant wiring out of a mid 90's Japanese car and it's doing my head in. To make matters worse it has an engine conversion and large chunks of the conversion harness use grey wiring. Makes it almost impossible to trace.

Regarding the old studs for the drilling template, if the splines are the right size for the holes then they should work nicely.

Looks like you're not afraid to have a go at the harder jobs so I look forward to updates.

thanks mate yeah Im one of those people that i have very low funds and generally zero time aswell but i will always try and make something myself instead of buying or paying someone else to do it plus alot of what i have done in the past if one off work. My wagon is one of only 1000 in the country and then to tub it and bag it its probs the only one in aus like it so nothing for it was bought off the shelf. as for the moke as you can see everything was done inhouse by myself aswell i have a build thread for my skyline and sofar that has a fair few custom bits ive made for it.

And Jiffo no i will use my old hub and weld the threads in it currently then machine the face flat and then drill it and tap it again then go and take it to get X rayed and make sure that it has no cracks in it or inclusions on the weld etc.. Other possibility is to put a bolt in the hole plug weld it in and then machine it up and redrill and tap in the new location

    • This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.
    • Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
