Welcome, seem as your from Brisbane you may also want to check this out EOI QPDC Theres plenty of info here and if you ever have a problem just ask, were here to help each other. Have you got any photos of the 1200?
Thanks for the info fellas. I've just been doing a bit of self learning with the oxy lately and i came across this today and i thought that it had been brazed. When using a bronze filler rod do i have to use a flux and make sure that the surfaces to be brazed are clean? Thanks again
For those of you who were interested in seeing how the irs was mounted in the 1200, here are some more photos. I had a closer look today and i can see that all the old rails have been removed. Previous owner reconstructed the rear end with box tube to cator for the setup. Does anyone know for sure what the irs setup came out of?
After removing a heap of bog from my cowl panel today i uncovered an area that looks like it had been patched up before. Next to this patch is a goldy coloured weld. Im assuming this weld is factory. Would i be correct? Anyone know what filler material it is? And would it have a lower melting point than the mild steel filler rods to avoid distortion? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
the ute is pretty much a wreck so im probably going to sell the setup to someone when i know for sure what it came out of. the ute shell is also going. Just cleaning the yard up a bit.
i'll get some pics of under it tomorrow. All that has been done is a few pieces of box have been welded in with the mounting bolts between the rails. Tubs are still original
