Dont know if its been done before or if it will work but if i got a caliper with integrated handbrake of similar size and got mount brackets made would it work.
A bit of work and head scratching involved

I dont want to tamper too much till i get an EGT gauge and boost gauge

I know this has been covered many many times but can anyone give me the oil pressure specs for the 1hdft?
At warm am getting 40psi @ 2000rpm
And 55psi @ 3000rpm
Not the worlds best gauge now but its better than nothing

Am preparing myself for what i may need as the front seals i put in about 6 month ago from Mr T arent holdin it at all.
Wer did you purchase from?
Do you need an exact measurement of shaft?
Same as the photo guys were is best to purchase from in the UK and are they a good fit ?
Il be sendin the old girl for paint soon and really like the look of them, any tips or advise greatly appreciated.
Where the best to purchase these seals from guys, theres an aftermarket seal iv seen somewer claims to be the dogs bits more widely available in aus i think.
If am going in there again i want it to be the last time for a longer number of years
As we all know the poor handbrake on 80s iv read of the larger dogbone spacer upgrade. Can anyone point me in the direction or any tips much appriecated
New front shocks and spring spacers fitted tonight to bring the front up more level with the rear.
Bags in the rear..
What a difference the shocks alone make..
Anybody point me in the direction of earth points on the 80. I think iv a bad earth somewer.
For example... dipped beam on heated seat on once you brake or indicate or both the oil light flashes in time with indicater. Or if heater fan is on high etc.
Could this be alternator?
Recently noticed this ticking noise coming from low down and most noticeable from driver side wheel well , iv been in below while engine running and il sware its coming from sump pan or that area. Iv been researching alot and its a fairly comman thing on the 1hdft engine but a solution isnt...
Anybody running a straight through exhaust or removed box or 2?
Is the noise bearable or extremely loud.
My front pipe has went and it went just before the front box so its 1 option to straight pipe it but i dont want a deafing drone either.
Thanks

With the intension of putting 2 light bars, 2 driving spots, 2 maybe 4 reverse/work lights, strobes and markers on my 80. Do i need a 3rd battery and split charge relay?
After nearly a week of head scratching iv traced the squeaking noise to be coming from the rear drive shaft. Always been greased regular and greased tonight again but the annoying noise is stil there.
