Can we buy prepreg in nz? If yes, where?

If it doesnt pull far enough to release and you can't find the right pedal box you can get the pressure plate Finger pivot point moved at the same time as they increase the clamping force & skim it if you send it to old grumpy at autoclutch - it's the same price as buying a heavy duty excedy anyway 

just make sure if it's the other way and pulls too much that you don't pull it much past being fully released or you will bend something 

is the tablet a suppository?

yes

The gimp room?

jack the pump with the relief open and see if it builds pressure or shoots a booger out and fixes it 

Yup in 100%

matts giggle is lovely

hey man if you gotta dissemble the wheel to fit it in a lathe send it here can do it assembled

/ strap a aliexpress compound slide to the fork and make a ghetto lathe

hey there - i just put these on a truck down to geophey to sort out, will post again here in the future for more work though

i have a bunch of dc tig fusion(no-filler) welding to do - sticking on pipe end-caps,  all gear provided, can be a weekend or whatever but the sooner the better - $25/hr

(this is a job for me personally not company job)

The guy owned a house relocation business that's why theres alot of out houses sitting on blocks. He ended up getting into abandoned vehicle towing that' where the cars came from. Me and @sentra have had long yarns with him 

Just needs a set of rings mate- was running when I parked it 

this is an opinion coming from a different line of work, its really opinion-y and i don't do it as a job just dabble with it around the plant....when I look at projects like you guys machines, (I could well be wrong) the automagic gets performed and dictated by plc people, who then try to beat motion control systems into submission and mangle them into the "plc" being the head of the process and become a second class citizen, I imagine your using some sort of all-in-one motion controller/amp/servo solution that you talk to (half-ass-edly) over some bus?

you look at machines these days, and they have a lot more in common with something like a multi-tasking lathe than a concrete batching plant (the sorts of project these guys cut their teeth on) - so surely using a general purpose "motion controller" as the head of process, using general purpose drives and motors where you can mix and match and change brands when you have a supply issue (like you would when you have a vsd fault - you can ring a multitude of people and suppliers right?), that has a logic interpreter "as-well", would be far easier, has all the awesome "pre-made" motion synchronisation, diagnostics, self-fault-checking, simulation, block stepping, jogging, pre-made hardware interfaces, super easy motion programming (which is always the hard bit compared to logic right?). program logic "interpreted" text language that everybody involved can "read" and contribute their 2cents to...(The general opinion I have heard is interpreted language is too slow...which isn't correct for "our world"....I think its more "I want to keep people thinking I'm doing something they cant do".) 

A factory worker can program, maintain, optimise & fault-find a modern multi-tasking lathe run by a general purpose motion controller. And they are "cheap".

It is a mindset shift, and you don't get to just ask the normal suspects to do it, so you get in a feedback loop that maintains your heading.

We should go visit "delta-tau", (unrelated to "delta"). Interestingly I see they are now an Omron company. 

Wooah wall of text

Time to do some actual work... (Which is building a fence around a machine..thats process is controlled by...a motion controller! horay!)

probably siemens, kollmorgen, or delta but I only deal with/take an interest in analog control velocity mode stuff, which is probably not relevant to what you do

if you read that list forwards, it would be what ive seen most to leastmost "out-and-about".

If you read it backwards, it would be what ive seen "trending" in the last few years, ive never dealt with delta but apparently the nz agent is really good/carrys stuff 

bums on seats by faar the most common is fanuc but its cnc only really - massive fanboy tbh.

you back on holiday sheepre?

a really reeally big one

Swing by if your still wanting to measure it - unsure how you would go at honing a chrome bore? But your welcome to use my lathe etc
