I use the app 'photo and image resizer' by farluner. For android. Has adds but has an addfree version if your wallet doesn't squeak like mine. Can get a 12mb photo down to 250kb if you want to, then upload direct to the forum is my way.

Front and rear doors. Apparently the window guide is behind the speaker so they can't just be screwed on, but yours pretty much proves that point wrong so i don't know anymore. That is the ones i printed for the boy anyway. Nice work on the exhaust too. The fibres off the wrap work their way through everuthing don't they?

Has been too cold and miserable out in the shed lately so yesterday i brought my trays of parts inside and got back into the carbs. All back together as a set now, no major issues, and only one minor one. Well two really as 2 of the 4 float needles had stuck springs. Managed to grab the pin with 'definitely not the wives' toenail clippers, and with a bit of twisting back and forth eventually cleaned all the rust and smout out of them. Set the floats to 15mm as per the jet kit instructions. Used the 120 jets from the kit and set the jet needles on the second slot to start with like the cheatsheet suggests as a starting point.

When it comes time to add doof doof, the speakers will be queer 3 screw in a moulding units. The boy at work found that out lol. I found some 3d printable pods someone had drawn up, printed them off and they worked mint for him, can send you the link or print them for you if you want. Can't have a rex without doof doof!

The angled plane was for something else, not the scan. Have not tried onshape, i dislike the lack of privacy etc. Not that anything i do is cool or would be worth copyrighting haha. Current project is making a tablet mount for my daughter to clip on side of her bed. So i dont have to wake up early on weekends she can entertain herself. Onto mk3 so far, gets easier each time as i learn slowly from each round of cockups.

Thabks for that. Doesn't help that i have no real idea what i am clicking on. Is a lot more user friendly than freecad though. Just have to unlearn some habits as it seems SW does a lot of things automatically that i had to learn to do myself in freecad. Next thing to learn is how to add a plane on a set angle to an existing sketch. Youtube should be able to help for that though.

Question for those clued up in solidworks, how do you take a 3d scan stl file and make it something editable. I have a scan of a solo seat cowl/cap for a motorbike, that i want to remove some lugs and add extra ones. And no idea how to do it.

Pssst no pressure... Just so you know, it is not even close to as nice a job as @mikey has done, this mike went for the looks clean at 20 yards approach. Awesome work on the rover there @mikey, that vinyl work is beautiful.

Interestingly, did ya'll know the te reo word for antenna/aerial is kotunga? Not really, but that joke was funny as fuck when one of the uncles told us kids 30 years ago.

My old throwaround i drove a screw into and attached a length of wire to hang on a branch/fence etc. Worked well too. But for the cost of 20 bucks plus shipping, i will go for the proper fold away antenna this time.

Brother gave his old site radio the other day, with a buggered volume switch and no antenna. In standard builder condition covered in shit. Pulled it apart this arvo, desoldered the volume knob and pried the tabs open. And promptly realising my fingers are not designed for this sort of caper, dropped all the bits off the edge of the table and onto the floor. Cleaned and rebent the contacts then put it back together for a test run. Jammed a screwdriver in the antenna hole and it all works mint. So now all i have to do is order an antenna and i have a camping/boating whatevering stereo. Fuck yeah.

Here we go again, Very impressed with the Litetek gasket set, quality is awesome and has every last little piece, down to new washers for the pilot mix screws. Although, CS-008, you can go fuck yourselves. Choke plunger seals, managed to get 2 out using a fish hook. Other 2 can wait for another day. Ordered some stainless capscrews etc for the housings and the exhaust which should turn up this week.

Ya know, i have a couple of period correct fuel tanks in my collection....

Don't sell it, in another eleventy years when my XC is nearly done, i will need someone to cruise with that we can never tee up a date to do it.

Any update is valid. Now get to work.
