fletch

Keen as to get involved in this.....

Minor issues stopping me.

Lack of fab' skills.

Lack of fab' skills.

Lack of fab' skills.

Oh, and Lack of fab' skills.......

Lol.

Like someone else has said, I'll swap you for some painting tips.

I'll have my welder and a bender set up by next winter.

You know where my shed is...

I'm keen for whatever.

Am planning to make a bunch of Tru test frames for anybody that wants one.

After talking to sparky, I reckon a cam and some more gear reduction will get me going a bit faster.

Would love to keep the drome part of it as the dirt day really stuffed me.

Why can't I lift my arm above my head?

Also, my shoulder hurts now.

Sooo tired.

Might go online and find some bigger rear sprockets tonight....

Space saver bike drew blood

Winner winner chicken dinner

Mt doom looking pretty frosty.

Just passed the crossing aka 2016 Nats.

I'll be there around 130. Don't wait up.

Family lyfe. ....

At this stage i can only assume the blower will be ok with the "wet" system. It is a GM671 styled blower that normally sits on top of smelly old chevs with 4 barell carbys sitting on top.

The idea for the Meth/water set up was to cool the intake charge to avoid any possible detonation problems.

In the past when i have worked on blower set ups ive always seen or installed a backfire plate.

Im unsure if one will be needed on this job ? (will probably fit one anyway "just encase")

There will be no fuel running through the blower, just air.

The 1UZ injectors are being replaced with a set of 8 x 440cc RX8 Denso Injectors.

Im told to run a 50/50 mix of meth/water.

With this in mind im guessing it would be flammable ? Like you couldn't "lite" the mixture ?

If running the meth/water injector post blower would any pooling even occur ?

Put it between the throttle and blower. The liquid going through the lobes helps cool them, and also takes up a bit of the clearance between the lobes and the housing resulting in more flow and less heat.

A backfire plate is a good idea, any backfire will only be short lived as you won't be injecting a huge amount of methanol. Plus I take it you will have the injector stop as soon as you shut the throttle, so when it goes bang and you shit, you will also shut the throttle and it's all good.

Should have half a wag spare

Got Friday off now. I can be middle of the island by 12 at the earliest.

Sam, reckon I can turn the face off my high speed sprocket at yours?

I'll be in my wagon if that's all good? Saturday night and possibly Friday if I can get the day off.

Fizzing at the bung for this.

Thought I would get into the spirit and pull apart a perfectly functioning bike a couple of weeks out from the event.

Couple of mods. Smaller rear sprocket, straighten front forks to make it less twitchy, drill out main jet.

Can do. Sent you a message

In for Saturday and Sunday.

Trying to organize Friday off work.

i went in search of suitable tyres today. the chinese wheelbarrow tyres i currently run are not really load rated. or speed rated

The only thing suitable i could find rubs on the head worse than the current ones.

Anybody actually keen for this week?

Weather looks to be shithouse.

Give me the 3.9 and you won't have the problem

Been a year...

Saved some money so going to do some earth works and concrete over the next few months.

Done a bit of cleaning up.

Been at it for hours.

Yes, that is a sneaky tyre. Just jumped on there by itself.

You haven't mentioned the water pump?

If you have good air flow it may be lack of water flow.

The replacement radiator might have been an attempt to cure the problem that could be just low water flow?

Next one Wednesday 26th October.

Couldn't make it last week as Mrs popped out another child. Aka drain on my future car funds...

Should be able to get a car legal over the long weekend and see you all there.

No more cruising under the cover of darkness

No idea tbh

I'll get under again and have a measure up,

Some new bushes first wouldn't go amiss and I know one of the leaf mounting bolts is seized

When you pull the diff, have a fuck about with the springs. Try change side to side, see if they hang on the piss. Might be able to correct it a bit.

Nice work on the gearboxes.

You will have no problem drilling that hardened shaft. I ground a little notch in the surface then drilled that for easier starting when I did a similar thing.

Sounds like the piston is pushing out against the pad, but the seal is grabbing on the piston.

If you have all the air out, go for a ride and hold a finger on the brake lever to get some heat in it. Give it a few pumps once it's hot and you should be right.
