Anyone know of a modern treatment for magnesium castings? e.g. blasting and passivation? [ATTACH]
only a four year gap between comments! Further to the use of WD40, I have read that the oil used in air tools is better. Water Dispersant 40 draws...
Hi, a quick forum search brought your post up. I too am looking for Dino 246 drawings to help with an accurate model build. If you know where I...
Yes, that one is not too bad - it looks like a scan of a toy car and is very low resolution. Most of the 3D models available online are pretty...
Hi, I'm curious to know if anyone has a 3D scan of a Dino 246 or 206. There don't seem to be any accurate 2D drawings of the body to be found...
Steven took me for a ride in this car a few months ago and I must say that it is in pristine condition and drove flawlessly.
The second edition of Bartz's Compendium is being released now. Contact Steven Hill in New Zealand if you're after a copy Down Under.
yes, a lot of the 3D models are very off - flat bonnets or no fuel filler, odd curves - you have to be very careful with them. There was a debate...
Hi Freeman, I know I'm resurrecting a very old thread here, but did you ever get to find out the dimensions of the Dino? I'm stuck in pandemic...
I am trying to do a 3D model of the 246GT (or GTS) and cannot find any images of the 246 body. There are a couple out there of the 206 but even...
Hi Yves, did you ever find a blueprint for the Dino? I am looking too and have yet to find anything. Ross
Great work Fred. I'm about to do this to my 2 litre engine but am considering the non-toxic PreKote, followed by painting. Then of course comes...
The chemicals used to prep the magnesium die cast alloy contain hydrofluoric acid which, according to chemical supermarket are: "**This is the...
My guess is that Dow 7 was used on Dino engine parts and Dow 17 on wheels (Dow 19 can be used for touch ups). As PTI industries say...
Regarding the Magnesium cam covers (not to be confused with the aluminium ones on 246 and later cars, which are bare metal) - they need to be...
Just blurred out my daughter's face. Cheers Ross in NZ [ATTACH]
Hi, sorry for the delay. Here are a few more images. It is essentially sound and usable. I wonder what it is worth? Cheers Ross in NZ [ATTACH]...
Thanks for the responses. I am in Auckland too. As to whether this is a hybrid of two parts (upper and lower) - I don't think it is as I don't see...
Hi, I'm hoping an eagle-eyed expert will be able to tell me the precise model that this came from. I found it a few years ago in a barn...
Hi Greg and welcome to the Dino engine rebuild game. I've been working on mine for a couple of decades:) There are a couple of resources to link...
