Here, is another pic of the van with the nose cone on and the inner wheel guards.
engine bay 2.jpg
can't wait to get my "new" rocker covers on.
after a talk with ambient, i have decided that the van will be mostly an HJ mockup. HJ Dash and painted an HJ colour...
Anyone have a NOS HJ grill that they would like to sell?

Does anyone know of a good place to take my bits and pieces to get zinc plated?
hinges, bonnet catch, etc..
Adelaide is where im at. btw
depending on the type of plating you want to do you can get DIY kits for Zinc plating.. But if you want to hot galvanize (i think thats what its called) you need to melt the zinc.. which means it needs to to be heated to 400+ degrees.. i think electroplating can be done through kits like this

Also with the DIY ultrasonic cleaner what you going to use to get the KHz needed

Pointless posting links to overseas suppliers, these kits contain hazardous chemicals which cannot be posted to Australia.Originally Posted by NickyG
I haven't seen any plating kits available in Ausrtalia but if anyone knows of some available please post up thier contact details as I am sure many here would be interested.

Its an ultrasonic transducer, kinda like a really high pitched tweeter.
I got it as a kit from jaycar, but we are already planning on beefing it up to get maximum cleaning power.
essentially is a man dish washer. (a little dangerous)
