  1. Hmmm I'm going but can't decide AW11 or 924 eeeny meenee mineee mo catch a Holden owner by the toe when he dies let him go eeeny meeenee mineee mo Hmmm Aw wins
  2. Scooters are a bit like fat girls. "Fun to ride till your mates see you getting off one"
  3. Driving the MPV is a bit like having sex with a fat chick....... Fun to ride till ya mates see ya getting out of one........ Still might be a good idea to give it a run
  4. Hmm what do I bring Aw11 ,Sw20, Porsche 924',VW. Golf,VW passat,Mazda MPV I'll have to check what's got the most gas in Damn I hate having to choose
  5. From memory the Starter solenoid is on the other side of the starter motor on a Left Hook also on the ones with ADR stuff on . I remember that from when I worked at Mazda NZ. If you are talking about the reverse switch on a gearbox use a magnetic reed switch they are fairly small or move it so the lever position makes it work Easy peasy
  6. I have 3 of these for the race team I run. 1x De Walt and 1 Ryobi and 1x Chinese special. But Look at this site www.loventools.com Guys are in Mt Wellington and have new and used and some real bargains for all power tools They even have pink ones if you want to get "er indoors" one for a special occasion. Their rebuilt ones and their 99.00 sales are really good
  7. Inferior diodes often found in cheaper range of mig welders are prone to failure. Once one blows the rest will follow rapidly. Why? Because the type of diodes fitted in the bridge rectifier are linked together so that the sum of all of the diodes covers the amps and voltage generated by welding with the machine. These press fit diodes are the same as used in vehicle alternators. Obviously installing these enables the welders to be sold at the lower end of the market and for a while they hold out but inevitably fail. The diodes are installed in a heat sink made from aluminium. and install new Standard Recovery Vishay 70 amp 1600 volt diodes that collectively exceed the workload of these welders and provide a more robust machine with the ability to work at the lower end of the welding scale as well as the higher end with ease.
  8. You can use normal diodes and make a discrete bridge but check the current rating of the diodes carefully . The bus capacitors in the welder are normally what causes diodes to fail.once one fails then they will all go. Use standard recovery diodes about 70 amps and around1600 volts. That's because of the inrush current. Use a good heat sink and make sure you remain within the ambient temperature range . They are the same type of diodes as used in automotive alternators Good lucj
