yeah i don't trust those seams either.

Okay here's another topic

Proper safety glasses/goggles.
Do you actually wear them?

I always do when i get under the car (usually just to stop crap dropping in my eye whenever i touch the underbody), or when i'm working on something that spins/moves.

How about the rest of you?

I did a quick search, and I couldn't find any topic on Safety while working on your Datsun.

I figure what's the point of spending hours working on your beloved datsun if you injure yourself, or even worse, the car :P

So I thought we'd all just bring up some safety topics and discuss them.

First off, I was wondering, where are the best points for jacking up a datsun 1200 ute, from the front and the rear?

Cheers.

Yeah i'll install that 5th spark plug as soon as I replace my headlight fluid. :D

I will never sell my child! :D

Howdy fellas.

A couple of months ago I was driving my friend home and my ballast resistor burnt out (didn't know it at the time).
But anyways called the RAC roadside assistance and he diagnosed the problem, and we went to Auto One for a new ballast resistor.

The thing is that they didn't really know what rating one to get, so we kinda just guessed and picked one.

I was just wondering what rating ones you guys use, just so i can make sure I'm using the right one, and if not, replace it.

Cheers !

I just took her out for a drive (then it rains)

I had 5 gears, :D
what a score

lol this is why i find the choices overwhelming. There's as many different opinions are there are brands

Yeah i bought it from a car yard, not through the previous owner.

I'll give it a try this afternoon. after i have something to eat, lol.

I'm pretty sure just because tools are made by the same factory doesn't mean they're the same quality. Far from it.

It's a shame though.

But yeah I'm just looking for tools to do the odd job on my datsun, like when I was changing the starter motor i wished so much I had some ratchet spanners :D

i used to work for a signwriting company,
we used to stick vinyl to the art gallery brick walls every year.
