There’s some strange happenings here...

Before...

What size is this sucker (46mm?) & was there a special tool to remove it with the tank in the car??

Brilliant!! FYI there might be another cell supplier in Sydney, but I’ve yet to give them a call to check prices or availability...

Off to the polisher first thing in the morning, then hopefully a full day turning spanners.... I tracked down these guys years ago and was disappointed to find they’d gone. I thought for a while they’d gone out of business, like many others in the industry. After some detective work, I found...

Note the engravings including build dates & pressures. The 6.9 was supposed the have blue dot 60Bar ones on the rear which is different to the red & green dot ones here.

Some new cells have arrived... Note the different part numbers

The front bumper is stuffed and will be replaced with an Aussie one. To my surprise the mounts are different to the Sth African ones which have energy absorbers & bigger mounting studs. The grille will also be replaced due to a rusted frame & broken insert. Cosmetic yes, but annoying me they do!
