Gday Paul. So you have actualy used this Stuff? and what they say is correct?. i had a look at the site today and was pretty impressed with the product. I would not mind using this stuff for my rig when it comes time to do the cab. i would like to do the insides of the doors, roof, floor, under the floor and the firewall. whats the application like, http://www.lizardskin.com/pages/testimonials2.php http://www.lizardskin.com/pages/testimonials4.php After the application would you still recomend some foil and foam on the floor and the firewall and roof? just want to find out as much as possibule before getting some sent to oz thats all, Q? might be a bit repeditive, just want to know more about using it and then afterwards. has anybody had an experance with this stuff? http://www.dynamat.com/index.html would it still be worth painting it with lizardskin and some layers of dynamat? Thanks Monty

hey MackKid thanks for that. Andy in west oz and i are getting a list together for a bulk order of people that some old B & R model mirrors so hope fully the price wont be as high, so if you know of any one who wants a couple of pairs let us know, but ill hold off for a while, theres a bloke some hours from me that has a pair, i just cant seem to get to pick them up, in the next couple or weeks. -Monty PS i spotted your rig in the owner/driver mag some time back.

HI spotted this pair on ebay today http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sid=p2759.l1259 and was wondering if the dude is asking to much?. am getting a bit edgy as i want to gett the last few bits for my rig. Mirrors and a sun visors are the two items that have become the most elusive and potentially the most expensive to track down. or may be i should just hold tight till the group order goes through hope fully. thanks monty

Andy. You might drum up some support via your rag? for all the skippys might make the goup by worth while. -Monty

Rob What’s the damage for a Pair of mirrors, in US $$ the US to OZ exchange rate has dropped to 0.7xx AUS to the US Dollar, i was thinking of getting a pair as the price is some what Like Gold, the same bloke had the brackets for an old R on there as well for $350 bout a month back. This may be a question for Super Bazza Whatt, (aussis word for Barry ) Ifs its lower then retail hear ill have to get me a pair. -Monty

Hi Rod thanks for the responce and some ideas. this is a post from the HCVC forum, http://hcvc.com.au/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1219710714/0#12 rod if you may have to get a higher horse power starter if 90psi is to low for you. i do remember that some time after the b model the horse power of the starter went in to doubel digets. -Monty

hey ThaddeusW i have heard of using the tyers but as this thing is bob tail most of the time currently i will be redusing the pressure a fair bit in the tyers to improve the ride, so that means that there wont be much pressure in the tyers to start with, so there goes my backup plan, thats the reason for the small compressor. i have gone out today get 20 meters of hose and fittings so i can at least get some air from to the tyers I have also a suggestion of a small petrol compressor mounted on a rack behind the cab...or even hidden in a tool box

Hi All. I live is OZ and most of the macks in OZ have an air start tank to start the truck. I in a few ocations have been left with out any air to start the truck. and in the cold can take a bit to start. this is my proposal to place 12v 4WD compressor on to the truck to fill up to 90psi the air tank. does any body know the volume of the air start tank? and does any body think that my plan will work? i have heard of stories of blokes having a small motor with a compressor to chug away for a bit to fill up the air start tank. thanks heaps. -Monty Bushranger Max Air II Air Compressor Bushranger Max Air II Air Compressor The Max Air II is a handy compressor to have on board when you're out bush or on the sand.
