Omega General Help / half shaft bolt torque setting.
« on: 24 June 2014, 20:29:10 »
Hi
Would anybody know the torque setting for the 6 bolts at the back of the hub that connects the half shafts to the hubs?

Omega General Help / air mass flow meter.
« on: 09 June 2014, 13:16:40 »
Hi I have two omega B's both 2.5td one is 1995 and the other is 1996. The 1995 doesn't have an air flow meter. But the 1996 does have an air flow meter.
I'm wondering does anyone know a way to remove the air flow meter from the car for good? it's hardly as simple as just plugging it out?

so heres whats been going on i put the ute project on hold for the last couple of months. but this is not due to lack of interest it will resume shortly 
ive been busy making my own costume kayaking/camping/bike trailer for the summer . here is how it turned out
fabrication finished
in the spray boot ready for primer and paint. decided why not paint it the some colour as my omega .
considering it was my first time to spray paint with car paint and lacquer it turned out okay it beats a panel beaters bill!!
this is it finished and shining
sticker bombed the centres of the small 8" wheels
the 'ould' work horse and its cart!!!!

The first ones are Holdens from Australia if I'm not mistaken
And plan to-do the back more like a Holden pick-up rather than that orange omega I wouldn't be to keen on his design but every one to the're own taste :-)

Not sure anyone's ever turned an Omega in to a ute?
Wasn't there an Orange PFL estate/ute conversion Omega for sale on eBay awhile back, Sure there was..
Yeah I seen the photos of that. Do you know how much it was sold for

Cheers flyer 0712 and webby the bear
I will keep it well updated
Hoping for it to turn out something like the Holden utes they have in Australia
Reason for doing it is its a 2.5td and I have one on the road at the moment I did up last year and in Ireland the tax is 1100Euro a year for a 2.5 litre. But because this will be then classified as a commercial vehicle it will only cost only 350 Euro a year to tax. Plus I also wanted a cool project to take on :-)

Very well done. Really looking forward to seeing the finished product. Do you have a pic of what you're hoping it will look like at the end?
Those are great pics of the stripped underbelly of the Omega, something I've been learning a lot about with help from OOF seniors
What's the reasoning for the project?
