  1. Panel wipe is sold by automotive paint suppliers
    You could use petrol if you can’t get any locally and can’t wait for it to be delivered.

  2. I thought you meant actual wipes :oops::D

    One of the degreasers I've been using smells petrolly/evil.....
     
  3. Anyone know where does exchange balljoints,/torsion arms?
    Cool air aren't currently doing them.
    Found a place called wiltsfalia that claim to do them but they're not very good at answering phones or messages....
     
  4. Wiltsfalia have just replied, £40 each
     
  5. I've just seen on eBay
    BandB components selling 4 x febi ball joints
    For £49.50 hope that's what you're looking for, I just searched "vw t2 ball joint"

  6. Yeah I'd seen the balljoints on their own, I was thinking of the whole torsion arm with a new ball joint already installed,
     
  7. I bought my torsion arm ball joints and got a local engineering firm to press the old ones out and new ones in.
    Just make sure they know which orientation there supposed to be in
    The notches in the joint should line up with the sticky out lumps in the arm if memory serves me correctly
     
  8. Slathered that metal brute in jenolite

    So I converted a squirty bottle,....

    the conversion involved emptying the tennents super lager out and refilling with jenolite, enabling a full squirting action to smother the interior of this beams vulva

  12. Did you know......
    In NZ , exporting dear horn to China is big business, they think it has health benefits including increasing g virility.
    I used to pick up from the dear horn factory, and have the odd sniff.
