well joshie i wouldn't be gettin you to do any work on my boat..... i wouldn't spit on 304 for a boat. 316 = basic food grade (not medical) 316 = marine grade 304 = poor corrosion resistance.

and 10mm cuts from 4140 ? i simply don't believe it even with any normal caride tips. would have to be round tips and even then i doubt it. although i'm open to being proven wrong. i've seen people loose teeth from taking 6mm cuts in plastic let alone 4140.

awsome work cjh, can't say i've met alot of mechanics that double as craftsmen :P


Thanks for the comments low_ryda. I was under the impression that 304 s/s was for food, like bench tops, and 18/8 & 18/10 for food utensils.????? Theres that many grades of the stuff :)

Don't know exactly, but I reckon they might help structural integredy in a smash at 90dgs to the rear guard.
Why did the EA's have them, and the later, same body, cars didn't :?:

yer all the 18 grades are still a build on 318 which is a fanny hair better than 316 :P depending on what grades. still any stainless finished improperly won't resist corrosion well.

i think the right angle braces are there for towing but perhaps later realised they were 'overkill' ? have no idea to be honest lol

Nah, just took them out of the EA, painted them black, then fitted them to the ED.

Its been awhile since I did anything to the car, but I have just completed making a tool to hold onto the pistons ,that I want to use, so as to hold them at the correct angle to machine a valve relief into the crown of the piston.
The pistons are BA LPG ones, and need to put relief in them to suit a 2 valve SOHC head.

I've started machining the valve reliefs into the crowns of the pistons. So far, so good, its working out. As by the pics, you can see I'm doing it in the lathe.

OK....its been awhile since I have done anything to the car.
I've been building a 28 spline 4 pinion LSD for the ED using 3.27 gears.
I'm going to use my EA lower arms in the ED, so I made some spacers to do this.
I used aluminium with 316 S/Steel inserts as anti-crush tubes.
I pressed the s/s inserts into the alloy as I made them with a 0.25mm interference fit.
The lip part of the s/s inserts face outwards, so the alloy cannot be forced outwards away from the face of the bushes in the trailing arms.
These spacers are for the front, where they mount onto the body. I already have the ones for the rear.

Nice work mate, I have not used a lathe for a year now :lol:

I should buy one so I can start turning up things at home.

Keep up the good work mate

Started on puting my diff & brakes on the rear today. It is an EBII housing, axles ( 28 spline ), EA calipers & rotors, and an after market 28 spline 4 pinion LSD centre.
All bearings and seals were replaced.
I fitted my EA upper & lower trailing arms too, with adapter/spacers to fit.
I'm using Penrite Limslip 140 oil.
While I was at it, I scrubbed the wheel wells out and painted them gloss black and sprayed Techtyl in the seams.

I fitted the brakes from the EA on it now....ready to be bled, rotate the tyres, get a wheel alignment, and drive it. The gears are now 3.27 instead of the 3.08's it had before.
The next big job will be to put the manual in from the EA...and the wiring harness, ECU, pedal box, etc...... :|
