thank you for that, very interesting company, I think by looking at their website they are doing business in S-Africa only, and it would be a bit to expensive to export a DIY kit to the UK, I have found a few sites here and for a small set up like yours (10ltr) cost about £170.
I most definately get one when my project's body resto-work is all done (October). How are you getting on with your welding?

Moss do them for less than £170. The product code suggests they are Frost's, so I assume they do them too.

Moss Plating kits

looking good that plating Lourens, the exhaust did need welding a bit,... just get used to the right setting, what welding machine have you got?, what is the thicknes of the welding wire and what gas do you use?

The drum brake for the front(I noticed the picture shows backplate with 2 cylinders)? Thought I had seen disks in the beginning of your tread.
Sounds expensive the postage and tax, still ...cheaper the getting it yourself.

Wuzz up Willy... I won’t if you don’t...

[minimuk]

195Amp, nearly heavy duty that one, o.6 mm welding wire and pub-gas would be good.

Waw, nice bit of plating there , good work, will it get more chrome-like if you "bath" it again? X-mass tree,...dno bit the drums would look good too, aslong you sand the inside after.

You were right it is the rear one, I did not wear my specks then,......
