My daughter built 1 in @Willdat? s class a few years ago using 4 light detecting diodes, arduino switched on every half hr, running Chinese 40 to 1 motors onto a couple of gearboxes for electric window regulators. Safety cams and switches to limit movement if a bird takes a dump on the diodes.

Yeah, they don't. Not home until early September. The life of a seafarer beholden to the slave of coin. Have fun all.

A fuel pump exchanging the hot fuel from underbonnet could run 6 seconds every min for 10 mins, pulling maybe 3 amps (facet) so 3 amps for 1 min total vs 25amps for 10 mins for an average 300w fan. If bumping a low pressure fuel pump is dangerous perhaps you need to put your car over the pit. Those little fans blowing on the float bowl look like an ideal low current solution to me.

If it is vapor locking due to heat soak would running an electric fuel pump intermittently for a few mins exchanging the fuel do the same as running the fan for way less Amp draw? Whynotboth.jpeg

Man, that ear to ear grin Kpie has . So good and looks like the car held up pretty well in that shed. That will be a sweet whip.

Paid. Now to hope the trips off line up.

It's certainly more JFK than Ms Monroe.

Count me in and I will pay and register when I get home at the end of the month. Internet not good enough for banking out here. No idea if I will be home for it but it can be a donation if I am living the other life I have at sea.

So far away from committing. In Perth, Singapore Thursday. Will bring Caddy or whatever if something has a wof. Hope to have some idea of time on and off by the end of next month. Will be there if I am home.

I'd go if I was home at the time but gotta grab work as it comes now that I am working on casual contracts with a crewing agency. Might need to be the ln106 too which is cheating for the lake run

+ 1 on good looking cars. +1 on vapour blaster build. Stick it here if you like. Thanks

I think most of them ran the 403 Olds motor and auto. Only Manual was the ponty 400ci. Both labeled 6.6 on scoop only Ponty power were T/A?

Is cold rolled steel easy to get hold of? I have only ever used zintec but it hasn't been a hassle and the offcuts aren't rusty years later.

can you tell us where you ordered the cyclone funnel from please if you have a link. Cheers

@sr2 might be a guy to talk to. Simon was trainer for PBR etc if I recall correctly. Worth a crack Nige.

Sweet job Clint. I couldn't keep my big block cool in summer, had electric fans, then OG 4 blade that was better. The fix in the end was a FlowKooler waterpump from Summit and a FlowKooler Robertshaw thermostat. Milodon do a cheaper copy of the heavy duty type thermostat ( like a sleeve valve, not poppet) but it lasted 2 drives before jamming shut. The FlowKooler stuff is legit and far cheaper than reworking radiators etc if the airflow side is OK. Good luck.

Gidday. Is there a solvent or something I should soak them in. Do I strip them down (remove nozzles) All new to me. Its easy to get at them now so makes sense if I should be looking at them to do it now. Chur.

A cup of very hot water with a tablespoon of baking soda and your old toothbrush will clean it up. There are a couple of products to stop it coming back. Korode Kure (Repco?) or CRC Battery terminal protector. Don't know what does it. I suspect material of terminal (non lead) with a dusting of battery acid from fuming causing electrolysis across dissimilar metals. I haven't seen it happen on lead clamps. Supercheap do a wire brush terminal and post cleaner cheap. Worth cleaning terminals properly so the alt doesn't overcharge/ boil the battery trying to sense across high ohms connections.

Neetsfoot oil is the jizz for leather. Just burn your rags when finished. Its worse than linseed for spontaneous combustion.

Minis were always bad at earth wires not earthing. They would cook the throttle cable and choke cable using them as earth returns. I know you said you had cleaned them but there will be probably 2 of them and the one from the engine subframe to the bellhousing gets forgotten. A good check is to use your jumper lead from the body of the starter motor to the battery earth or a known good subframe earth. High resistance will cause lower cranking speed, voltage drop and heat. I assume Moke battery is under rear seat?

Disembarking the SS Stalag on Saturday night. I will see how I go with finding something oldschool enough to drive if I am feeling alive enough. Would be nice to meet that @avengertiger weirdo since he is almost a neighbor. Time to put a name to a face of some of the other reprobates as well. I need to stop being such a hermit.

Dunno about jet boat hulls but a normal hull has a cruising speed. you can tip double the juice down its gob and get 1/2 knot more speed. also, the pleasure boat motor will probably have different cams, fuel pumps, injectors etc. as well as turbo. I have seen same series of motor in pleasure boat and Genset application. 60l sump and 50 hr oil changes, double the horsepower, 40% duty, vs 150L sump and 750 hr oil changes making 1/2 the power at 100% duty cycle. Apples aint apples. Just filled the day tank now, 9500L for 24 hrs on the 2 stroke diesel V8. What do you think about that greta

Thanks to @sheepers in the random stuff you have done thread for above. What media are you peeps using and where do you buy it please and thank you.

Moderators 6.9k Local Area: Auckland Popular Post Posted May 14, 2020 made some mods to my sandblaster and its fucking cash. so the old venturi suction sandblaster feed is a bit shit what with sand/media being really heavy and all. you need to run the biggest nozzle to get enough air flow to raise the sand and then there isnt enough velocity at the nozzle to really do fuck all once you do raise the sand up from the bottom. so i made some mods to mine to effectively run a "total loss" sand system. it works mint. so the sand sits in the funnel at the top and gravity feeds the handpiece. i can now run the smallest nozzle and the velocity is good so it removes rust/paint/crud quickly and really well. the funnel full of sand lasts ages because you only need the small nozzle. I've cantilevered the cabinet out off the bench so i can pull the bung and drain the media into the bucket, then just tip it into the funnel again. fuckin too easy. i could run the thing without the bung probably, haven't tried yet. visabality is good too with the vacuum stuffed in the side. the whole things is a win in my book. 2020-05-14_06-16-08 by sheepers, on Flickr 2020-05-14_06-15-59 by sheepers, on Flickr 2020-05-14_06-15-51 by sheepers, on Flickr You, Geophy, azzurro and 22 others 24 1 × Quote my MS51 and the ongoing saga. discuss the saga. my 1UZ RA28 of daily usage discuss the V8 celica. my 1JZ RA23 celica of dusty storage. discuss the 1JZ celica. my 2TG TA23 celica discuss this
