The answer is yes, Paul Dickinson had some on his race car engine before he sold me the shell, they were available in various metric sizes, I'll text him on Monday and see if he can remember where he sourced them.P.S. He's a tart too  ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies. I sell new and used welding equipment in the Hampshire area.

i got around the blanking issue by going further down the line and deleting things that weren't required at the source  what phil said is a good shout, i have done this a few times but have opted to properly seal stuff now with like liquid metal and welding stuff up properly ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

well I'd rather blank it off at the source and I think I've removed as much as possible.removed that metal water pipe from rear of block so want to block up the outlet from water pump, did you weld that? have you welded thermostat outlets for matrix too? I cant weld (although its something I want to learn), so was just going to cap them to save taking them to someone else. oh, and happy birthday  ________________________________________ Team 'unintentional rat look' |
