SOHC

I was thinking more about a bit of 10" OD ally-clad exhaust tube, some baffles and end caps, cut the filler out of the old tank, the tank is behind the front seats.

I give up, its going to the scrap, I have made a huge mess, everything I did made it worse, the baffles have come loose, I have wasted heeps of solder and brazing rods, its just a hunk of shit, filled it wp with phosphoric acid and it revealed more holes

They have rolled the seamed then soldered them to seal, it won't come apart

I can get a reproduction tank but there expensive, its 76 years old, I will put up some photos tomorrow of the what I have done to the tank.

The soldered seams make that not posable By the sounds of it you wouldn't get much else other than the patched piece of steel back if you tried that. Pop rivet soldered seams and tank seal the crap out of it again haha, sounds like the time they put my chromed parts in the wrong stripper barth. I refuse to use tank sealer

The soldered seams make that not posable

Yer I was going to gas weld it, I cut the side out last night and patched it but the sides are soldered and that turned to shit, don't trust it to seal with the mig, I don't think they can zink the inside of a tank successfully, only as far as the anode will go.

Cool, maby if I slosh some diesel round inside?

I had to cut the bottom out of my Fords petrol tank as it was full of pin holes, my plan is to get it acid dipped and weld a new bottom back in, I was hoping to get away without putting in a tank sealer kit. I used a POR 15 kit about 8 years ago in a bike but now its failing, and that Kreem brand is real shit, it lasts about a month. I am over tank sealers My question is will it rust like crazy if I leave it bear steel inside?

I have made branding irons in the past for burning into wood, I am a an artist blacksmith, send me a pm and I can send you some photos if you want?

Sometimes if your engine has high miles it will have a ridge on the bore, when you give it a good trashing the rings will snag on it and brake

Cool thank you, they are custom made, the smaller ones will need the wood sanded down to fit the hole

I have tried that in the past but they split along the grain quit badly.

Cool thank you guys, I will try some of those places, Would Snap-on life time warranty cover the wooden handles?

Where would be a good place to buy hammer handles? need to replace the handles on about 7 of my best panel betting hammers I saw bunnings have them but there expensive and the wrong size and they only had 2. Whos got handles in auckland?

But maby with ze correct papers you can drive across ze border and escape into west Berlin yar?

Yes, I rember people got gassed and died. they make strawberry flavored 2 stroke oil for scooters, they would be cool to use.

Yes, just in case, I new this dumb fuck who went trough 3 alternators when he was 19, he even fucked the charging system on his motorbike until someone told him.

Have you been doing key off's?

Thats super cool, I would love to have a Trabant in nz, my cousin had one in Germany. do they have a kerosene heater for warming your self or something?

That could be realy cool, thank you

I got it sorted, didn't need to shorten the shaft in the end, it was bang on the right size, what kind of info do you have? I got a cople of zephyr boxes, I was going to rebuild one anyway

I had a falcon I put a 302 Cleveland, it would crank and fire then backfire through the carb and the engine would turn backward a cople turns, then it would run mint once it started. The problem was the way the coil was wired up, there was a cranking circuit and a running circuit, the Cleveland's electronic dizzy clashed with the 6 cylinders ballast system. Not saying this your problem but maby s

Dose anyone know where i could find a book on line?

flexis are more for front wheel drive cars where the engine is mounted sideways ,transverse , there expensive to
