Hi Nils, I've seen around the forums on various topics that you're the guru to talk to about brake upgrades. I've got an 89 syncro that I've just had the rear drums completely redone and I'm not satisfied of the braking capabilities if I had to make an emergency stop Would you be able to help out with an upgrade, I'll take anything, information, a kit, etc. I've read T4 disc upgrades are the goods? Cheers, Alex
Hi Mike, I'll get to working on the 312mm rotors, the brake hoses I can make up myself. Do the old rotors for cutting into have to be any year/model. Could I just get some from a 2wd? Thanks Nils!
Hi Nils Thanks for the reply I have a Syncro but don't think the roof grab handles are from the Syncro I managed to get one off without it falling to bits I could send it to you if that would help, if so where do I send to . Cheers Bob
Thinking you may have a traķka or something like that? Have you tried posting a thread i the T3/4 forum here? The blokes here are really knowledgeable on where to find stuff that you may have come up dry yourself. I mention this as it will be cheaper than me making them. Throw me photo before you spend your hard earned cash. Nils
Hi Nils I see you do 3D printing what i'm looking for is the end covers for the roof grab handles I can't show you a photo because as soon as I touched them the crumbled to power. Are you able to do them or do I keep searching cheers Bob
Hi Bob, I have no doubt I can make something pretty close to original. Though without any idea what it looks like or what size it is I can't give you any more info. What kind of bus do you have? Nils
Hey Nils do you have the T3 Door Reg rebuild kit parts as seen below from GW they are sold out.. http://www.gowesty.com/files/GVW-WNDW-REG-RBLD-KIT.pdf Cheers Rowan
Hi Rowan, yes mate I have these. They include the little felt squares in the back of the doors too. $25 + postage $3 to most places in oz. Nils
hey Nils- saw the printed parts for breathing life into the 72-74 indicator switch as posted by Kai. have you made some of these and can I get hold of one please. regards Lach.
Hi mate, you can get them direct from shapeways here - https://www.shapeways.com/product/4245BL4JY/flash-cancel-hammer?optionId=64604212 Or I have a few being printed right now, I can let you know when they reach me. Both ways will cost you about the same and be about 2 weeks.
Hello mate Been reading the feed in rear brake upgrade to disk brakeson my syncro. Do you do the kits for this?? Any info greatly appreciated Thx
Hi mate, you're the 4th person this week to ask about these. The answer is, in the short term no. I have one of Marks kits here that I can copy, but I am not super happy with the way it fits so would be making some improvements before going ahead selling some. I have 2 front kits that I am working on right now for customers and that is taking precedent.
Not in a hurray, would like to replace on the next service. Really grateful for your assistance & goodwill. Just let me know & how much you need for post etc. cheers
Hi Nils, saw your post would love to purchase a fuel line from you for my wife's DOKA, my problem is I'm in Melbourne?
Shouldn't be a problem really Terry, the material is quite soft (it arrives at my place in a roll) I could no doubt send it to you in the same fashion. Or even in a post tube. . Are you in a hurry to get hold of it?
