Chromed manual balance tube

    Chromed manual balance tube from TT.

    Not sure if NA and TT balance tubes are the same, but I know manuals are different to auto. This one was chromed about 3 years ago, so it's not new chrome, it did some time on RZ1. The chrome is in good nick, however, the close up shows a small area between the posts on the passenger side end where the chrome didn't take. This has occurred on all the balance tubes I've had done, even after several attempts. Gotta be sharp to pick it when its installed though. I'll throw in 3 stainless dome nuts and 2 stainless bolts to mount it to the plenum.

    $70 + postage, no need for exchange, keep your original.

    (Yes this was sold recently, but is now not needed. No sweat, it just goes back up for sale again.)

    Post here, contact by PM, email on mfortescue@ventureglobal-au.biz, or call 0417-557409. First in, best dressed, which ever method is used.

    Guys, not likely to be another from me. There was virtually no interest in my EOI for chrome plating about 6 weeks ago, so I am not proceeding with what could have been a good sideline.

    However, I have 1 more plating run coming up. Anybody who has parts they can afford to be without for 3-4 weeks is welcome to get them to me and I will get them plated. If interested, I can give prices for most Z related items - but no alloy.

    If enough positive interest is shown I may yet change my mind about future runs.

    Let me re-phrase that. I'm looking to buy an already chromed balance tube. Not sending bits in to get chromed. Just thought I'd bump an old thread rather than starting a new one.

    Thanks much Andrew!!
    Edward replied to my query saying he doesn't deal in RHD bits for chroming. :(
    Perhaps someone may have one from parting a Z or a spare one up for sale sometime.
    This winter's mods are going to be some engine bling for a change.


    BTW, what happen to the "Thanks" selection? Or doesn't it apply in this section of the Forum?

    Attila,
    Yes, prices would be same as last thread.
    Yes, I can get another run on the go, I have a couple of items for other people already. You would need to ship parts to me - if interested, I can give full details in a PM. I would like to do a trip to Sydney/Canberra in January; if I get the parts here early enough, they might be able to get chromed and me bring them up.

    John,
    If I can find a manual (or is yours auto?) TT balance tube from someone I could add it to the run, and then ship the chromed unit to you. If interested in this, please let me know here or by PM, I would then place a post in the wanted section.

    Hi John...
    From what I can tell there are different balance tubes for NA & TT + Auto & Manual.. But I think LHD & RHD are the same??

    The big difference Andrew I believe is in the brake booster vaccum line.

    On this pic of a LHD balance tube you can see that there is just a blocked-off boss where a 90 degree tube would be for the brake booster vaccum line (just below the yellow circle).

    On Mike's pic of the RHD balance tube you can see that 90 degree vaccum line tube (to the right).
