And how about the same for the lockable hard cover?

If anyone has some that they want to part with, please let me know. They don't have to be perfectly straight, but they have to be pretty much rust free, especially in the lower sill area.

Thanks,

Hahaha....I'm not going near this one!

As far as mini tubbing goes, you're basically just extending the inner tubs a fraction and squaring them off.

I'm unsure of the maximum tub width before it becomes a full tub, but if you can find that out, you'll know exactly how wide your wheels can be (depending if you use flares or not)

I'd give you $200 for the front struts/brake setup alone.....you give me yours, I'll give you mine plus $200!

Hey guys,

I'm just on a mission to find out if anyone has replaced or has had to replace the trays in thier utes?

Mine has a few rust holes in it, and although it's something that could be repaired with minimal cost and effort, I would like to replace it with alloy checkerplate.

Now, here's where my problem begins. I know that the stock tray floors are welded in around the edges and therefore don't sit/bolt onto a lip on the ute body itself, so bolting the alloy floor straight in isn't an option.

When looking up from under the ute, it seems that apart from the support beams for the tray, and the welds around the edges, there is nothing else holding it on.

Has anyone thought of making up some custom brackets or the like to mount the floor onto, or is this not a viable solution?

Once the 13bt goes into the ute, and the diff is replaced with a Hilux item, I would like to mini tub it, and making a custom tray would allow me to easily remove and modiify for bigger tubs...

Thoughts/ideas?

Can anyone tell me how this clutch master cylinder would work?

I gather it would use kind of braided line or something to push the fluid through the the salve cylinder.

Anyone know? Would be good to have a remote hydraulic clutch setup.

Cheers.

Not sure if Bob has posted this anywhere.

Apologies in advance for digging up an old thread, but I would be very interested to know where to get a hard tray cover for my ute.

Either that, or just a flat one would do.

Has anyone purchased one, or had one made?

Cheers.

I'd be interested in a bonnet, but as Chris said, you wouldn't really want a full fibreglass front end on a street car. The old datto's a fragile enough!

For the same price, the steel ones are the goods, especially considering it's hard to get a good paint finish on fibreglass unless you put a lot of work into it.
