Re: Jeff’s ‘69 Valiant
So I got the ingredients to mix some ASA slurry.
It is a melted plastic, that will bond with the original plastic. IMG_6402.jpeg IMG_6401.jpeg IMG_6404.jpeg
Just mix the raw ASA plastic with Acetone. When it has melted to a paint like consistency, brush into the crack.
It will go off quite quickly ...

Model kits for sale.
Mopar kits.
Last week while I was at National Mo-Parts, the owner is selling all his model kits. He had a display from floor to ceiling. If there is something you are looking for, let me know, next time I go, I can look.

Re: Jeff’s ‘69 Valiant
Well, after all that, I can’t have a hydraulic parking brake.
Just been down to the testing station, he thought it was OK, but when he looked into it, it has to be mechanical or electronic. Damn!
Problem is someone has “modified” the caliper brackets in the past, and the mounting tabs for the ...

Re: Jeff’s ‘69 Valiant
Interior back in apart from under column trim.
Had to do a quick fix on the rust I found. But have ordered a new floor panel for that area. Luckily they have one down the road a bit in national mo-parts.
But that job can wait.

Re: Interior plastic trim repair
It’s all in 1 piece now, should be cured by tomorrow.
Some filling, sanding, re drilling, and painting. And it will be ready to go back on.

Re: Jeff’s ‘69 Valiant
I am trying to get it to a point before we go walkabout for 3 weeks.
Hoping the weekend gets me to where I need to be.
I am close. If I can bear the winter months in the garage, I can complete for next season.
Just time wasters on the Nomad. I don’t know what they get out of it, hours on the phone ...

That part I printed is solid. Wanted it strong.RobTwin wrote: Tue Sep 01, 26 9:04 am Joking aside, 3D printed parts are lighter than the equivalent original part as they aren't as solid... ideal for the likes of Blue!![]()

Re: Jeff’s ‘69 Valiant
Took a look under the carpet today. Found some rust areas.
About a 2x3” area on drivers side footwell, and strangely enough a band that runs across the transmission tunnel.
Upon closer inspection, it was not great news. Done some poking around the drivers foot well, and found the dreaded fibreglass ...

Re: Jeff’s ‘69 Valiant
The under dash column trim is not as easy as gluing it back together.
So I scanned the profile, and printed two side parts, that will be glued on the front of the panel. Again, it’s not stock, but I can’t spend $200 on a repro one.
The curved bottom break, I will do the same, but affix to the rear ...
