Its a damn sexc car wish i had the cash for it.

Just quick enquiry, finally getting everything back into the datsun and i have realised the handbrake unit itself is F*$!ed..

Now im just wanting to know whats the best way to get my hands on a new one. I have done some searching around on ebay and datsun new parts and unable to find one.

Anyone got an idea where to get one, or what will work as a suitable substitute. (i.e ford handbrake or something)

You can pick up the 3M weatherstrip adhesive from any SuperCheap Auto/ Repco.

It cost me $18.00

Check out some work wheels or SSR wheels for a decent JDM style.

Or even check out this site for some wheels

Have a look

The only tools i can really advise to have in your posession to make things really easy are:

- Ratchet ring end spanners
- 3/8 drive socket set with 90 teeth or more to make those tight spots nice and easy (even one with an adjustable head really helps)
- pipe end spanners
- And just make sure you have two of 12mm, 13mm, 14mm for most nuts so you can have one spanner to hold and one to undo.

Other than that dont really need much else unless you need a puller for bearing's and bushes.

But At the same time you don't need the above listed you can get away with generic tools, i just found using these were the main tools used

that is a really tidy ute

You sir, are a genius.

Now i feel like a retard for not thinking of it in the first place :(

Just got a nice quick question. Need to fix up the couple holes in the floor pan atm.

Now i attempted with the MIG, and it just created a huge mess and burned extra holes. I messed around with power/heat levels and wire feed still with no fix. Im just wanting a nice easy weld like normally welding mild steel with minimal grinding to get a decent finish.

I have also attempted braising and a high intense solder with no decent finish.

Would it be worthwhile to just borrow a mates TIG for the job or is their any tip's/tricks im missing out on.

That or im a spastic, and instead of welding it just tack over and over.
