Transom

Anything I have got from them has been free freight and at least a week delivery even from nearest store

Steal a trade card then everything is free freight

Lots of the normal stuff is free freight online too just takes a week

I just got the Stanley small rollcab and topbox and 133 PC socket set for 1/2 price free freight

Good size for what I need and some free sockets to throw in car toolbox

Na different again

That trailer in the pics is a chopped up bus if you look closely

The trailer in mot was designed from ground up and started as a set of custom chassis rails

Swamp kauri interior

Was built to go behind a flat nose international fire engine crewcab turned into tractor unit with big v8 diesel

I need to transfer some of my old film to digital and post more pics

Na the kenny near Nelson was rigid truck not semi trailer - nice looking house but bad design - fuck all room in the house for such a big rig

That house trailer in the pic has been around for long time - used to have a cool old long nose Merc for tractor unit

F650 would be my pick for a lams bike.

Had one for a while, loved it.

yes i have one of those but the strangest version the CS belt drive street bike

there is a limit on how long you can stay on a leaners now ? mine has an expiry date

LAMS has some good points

You can now ride any of the old 650s (4 strokes ) on a learners

I have not seen a 250 yet that will fit a 6 foot plus person

Cant remember actually. Possibly toyota or Mazda. Ask Zebra dude or some wrecker fella.. they'll know.

That rad hose T piece is a Mazda one

Cos I have one here

 my mate the orange roughie  got a first in the hillclimb on his moto-guzzi would like to see some video or photos from that

Ah ok

I scored a 30$ old laptop with serial port and windows xp version that will actually read the help files that have more details than the basic instructions

So hard to get any info on these

Ok, I have given up on my stinger and am now looking at a link atom. Where is the best place to buy from or are they all the same/go for the cheapest?

Ok I am scared now - what made you give up on the stinger ?

Also link atom 950ish on tardme no loom

I have a trade card

Just takes a friendly sca worker to fill out the form on computer takes about 2 minutes

Bingo trade deals

Could do it at any store maybe even online

Do we have resident OS Super cheap dudes?

Go have a fondle of them

The sca one will feel flimsy and shit

Also the retards at Bunnings have rollcabs on special catalogue too

I am also looking at buying something like this

I need to watch the whole shaker run movie now after seeing that bit

What year is it from? I have a set of those autosport nz bucket seats

Yep keen to see

Truck trailer and digger combo

Yep all that

Taillight and reflectors same spec as heavy truck code

15ton digger on 4 axle is close to max weight by the time you have a couple of spare buckets and stuff esp if the digger has had a blade added to it

I know our supposed 14 t is right on max on our 4axle

Cheap grinders are the best

Have 4 supercheapys with grind disc cut disc flap disc and wire wheel

Fuck changing discs til they are worn out

Plug all 4 into multibox= ready for anything

What's the go with using wheel PCD adaptors with alloy wheels that use shank nuts ?

Everything I read says tapered nuts locating adaptor to hub and tapered nuts locating wheel onto adaptor

Are shank nuts ok on adaptors ?

Or do I need wheel centring adaptor centric ring gizmos as well?

Is countersinking old alloy wheels to run tapered nuts as dodgy as it seems ?

Mx5s have a splined steel universal on steering shaft may fit rx2

You can probably get one with alloy top and bottom tanks as well for not much more from Fenix or Redline

Genuine Toyota one is probably made in China or Indonesia by now anyway

it would look neat poking out the sides with the engine covers off

they dont look that huge, the floor is just plywood anyway so dont squash my dreams so soon

Trying to picture where the supercharger would end up

I remember it being in a different place to the engine in that video

Will have gorse bash sometime and measure/ pics

As for the noise yeah it's like bagpipes they sound better travelling away from you a speed

Earmuffs essential but the little old Thames truck with tractor engine had a harsher knock

i would like to put it in my q15

Lol too heavy

And too wide for the bonnet

They are almost chassis to chassis in full size truck

Maybe mid engine it would fit - they are very low only the rotary style injector pump sticks above the chassis rails

CheapAss poms just used a 6 cylinder pump and left half the guts out and blocked the holes

Yes there somewhere in the gorse

No cab

Trying to find the pre digital photos from when it was being driven around with 2 seat almost a windscreen some wood to mount headlights on and a big Mercedes grill tacked on the front

Sounded choice when first liberated from a swamp with no exhaust or air cleaner on the supercharger

Oh the shit we used to get away with down here in the backwoods

^ On the Wet coast?

Yep

The wooden house is farked and rotten but the loft is protecting the cab

The truck is in quite good nick considering and reasonably rare now

Not many long nose comet trucks around - plenty of buses

It was running sweet but died on the recovery mission - got a big tractor to tow it up the hill

Will prob get restoed with a dirty jap diesel in it

Till then it can sit next to 2 bedfords a ford an Isuzu and a ts3 commer engine and chassis
