SOHC

This is what the bike looked like befor apart from mine was blue red and wite, the guy before me and striped it town to rebuld it and lost the front forks and wheel and left the tank outside to rust.

I built this as a project when I was 19 at uni much to everyone's disgust, it was a 1983 Honda CB900 Boldor (rollerdoor), most of the bike went in the bin, and it got a Suzuki intruder front end, Triumph rear hub and Harley rim and guard, and custom hard tail frame, shorted the frame and now it will do wheelstands in 1st and 2nd gear, it was too loud with the open pipes, so it got a cople cobys. I have nealy ground the side stand off on the road on the corners

Going to build another one soon, I was thinking of turning this into a rat bike and rusting it up a bit, and I want to make pittsburgh stacks about 6ft tall past my sissy bar.

bad earth somewhere, or someone has used a power wire as an earth?

You don't need a repear cert if you do it your sef and do a good job so no one can see it or take it to the pnallel beeter and don't tell the VIN people ,

They can make you sandblast the whole underbody if they find a small spot of rust, so make sure you underseal and panit over any chips and surfis rust or you have to pay some one with his socks pulled upto his knees 100 bucks a min to do nothing

Ive got 80/90 GL5 in my book as well, unless its LSD and then it needs LSD 85/140.

I dont see why a GL5 would eat into bronze where GL4 wouldnt.

I have a 10 Ltr of penrite GL5 I got given and wanted to use that, its not a LSD, I managed to get the spc sheet on this oil today and it says its safe for copper and bronze. I think the GL1 was the oil they used back in the day in the ealy diffs.

Never bothered about things like this when I was younger, would just pore in any old stuff.

Cool thank you,

would it be ok to use GL5 in a 1973 jaguar xj6 diff? I hear GL5 will eat into bronze bushes in diffs and gearboxes. I have looked allover the net for info but carn't find any.

The hard part is finding a club witch let you join, they won't even bother to awncer your emails, or there a closed club, you need to know some people to get in

I have seen a few falcons with cert plates for V8s and they have 6 cylinders and they get a wof no problem, I would say ditch that descusting smelly oil burner

if you make it look like it was never repeard it won't need a cert for a VIN, if it has a rego you don't need to worry at all. you don't need to have a welding ticket, just be able to weld

I think with a chassis swap you just need to update the new chassis number with the LTSA if its a straight swap and no major mods

Could you use the VT holden master cylinder and adapt it to fit your peddles? it would take out alot of the gess work

Did it, I purged it with Supamix, nothing exciting happend, it didn't ever burn, there was vapour comming out witch wouldn't even catch fire.

Thanks everyone for the help.

I think fitting a 2 pound residual pressure valve in the line can keep the pistons close to the disk to fix that problem

I don't run a booster because I couldn't be arsed, and I made the peddel box to be under the floor

I was going to weld it with the oxy acetylene, I could purge it with the MIG welding gas and let it flow in wile welding like you say, probley the best way

Just been reading about the exhaust pipe trick, I think it will make it even safer being diesel.

Its better to have the master cylinder bore on the smaller side, the peddle is rock hard and like standing on a brick otherwise,

It will soon burn off,

I have a diesel tank with a small gash in it, I have drained and removed the tank, I was wondering is it safe to weld or will it explode? I havent played with diesel ever.

When I didn't know much I welded a petrol tank witch I had washed out with water but it exploaded and split open down the seam, it was like getting hit by a train

You can get in deep shit doing a burn out in the garage, my frind smoked his car up and it smoked out a bizzy road

plane steel 10" exhaust tube is over $300 plus GST per meter, thats fucken ridiculous,

Anyway I made a new tank from rolled sheet, unsoldered the fittings and welded them onto the new tank

Sorted.

Anyone in west auckland have some sheet metal rollers? I need to roll a sheet of 1mm x750 x 800 into a tube for a petrol tank, any help would be highley appreciated.

How long do you need the tube?, I have a lenth of seamless tube with a 11/16 threed in one end, it was half a tie rod of a T bucket

If the tapered hole is worng in the steering arm it could be reemed?

The rods ends you have with the angle are HT Holden,

the ealy ford V8 rod ends are straight with out the angle, there made by Fuji

I have some 11/16 nuts here if you want, but they are left hand only
