Re: Best nuts for exhaust manifold/turbo?

Had this issue on my vr4 I had years ago, I drilled a small hole all the way through the nut and stud once the nut was tight and put a small split pin through it, never happened again.

Bolt in roll cage

I have had a bit of a look through the Motorsport manual but didn't find the answer, what I want to know is can I use a bolt in half cage for club sport events? And secondly if I can, can I mount harness's to it?

Thanks

Re: Mounting a nudge bar on a Kun shape hilux

Ohh I see, any way to no if this is what I need? The bar has a threaded piece sticking out of each side where it should mount to the body, bit it is about 100mm from anywhere to mount it to.

Also how much is this kit?

What thread are AE101 brake lines?

Help, I am looking at buying an adjustable wilwood proportionary valve as my rear brakes are locking up under heavy braking since I upgraded the front brakes. Just need to know what the thread at the engine bay end of the brake lines is?

What I mean is can I swap the whole unit? Need to know if the holes where the units bolt to the chassis are the same. If anyone has a pic of the 4 bolt set up it could be of help.
