SOHC

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

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.

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

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

The ealy holden tierod ends you speek of will have a 11/16 UNF thread Ford use it to, its a real bum size

Define can't pull the skin off a rice pudding haha, its cheep to run and rugged, would probley go better than the Viva motor.

How about a Holden Star-fire 4 cylinder from the 80s, apparently they run of the smell of an oily rag.

Dos you tranny still have reverse?

I was wondering if all BW 35s are the same to, the Falcon one has a 28 spline yoke, triumph has a 25 spline yoke and Volvo has a 27. some of them have the dipstick tube going into the pan and others have it going though the housing. was starting to look for one to, mine dose a mad shudder on take off
