    Resto and Tech

    Would there be any benefit in expanding the resto & tech support forum in the garage to more sections?

    A couple of suggestions have been driveline, interior, gearbox etc.

    Thoughts or suggestions?

    Can't see it hurting Blocker. There's already 270 odd threads in there and a few subforums may allow people to find an existing thread which covers that topic a bit easier, rather than starting a new duplicate thread.

    Would it be possible to have an index with these categories.
    When threads are tagged, the index can find all threads with the appropriate tags?

    ..... or just search for it?

    I know that ill be asking a lot of questions in my thread coming up when the van comes home. Would make life easier for me when looking for info.:Chin:

    Indexing is pretty much what I was suggesting.

    I just had a thought, it could be divided up just like the HQ-HZ parts catalogues maybe?
    So under the Resto & Tech Support sub forum you would see;

    Chassis
    Engine-Clutch
    Cooling-Grille-Oiling
    Electrical
    Fuel-Exhaust-Carburettor
    Transmission
    Brake
    Suspension-Steering & Axel

    Body
    Doors & Glass
    Seats & Trim
    Wiring Harness (goes with Electrical?)
    Accessories (anything else?)


    Thoughts?
    The forum has had a number of changes, and I don't want to make a change every week, but if this is something that would be useful then feedback would be good.

    Especially a sticky thread on window filling... a much searched topic here.

    I reckon it would be a good idea. Might make it easier to find answers to reguarly asked questions.
