Or the odometer is way out?

You have a bike? 

I had a gen 2 for a while, cheap but a bit rusty. All good until it died and I sold it

(I don't think it was anything serious, maybe a CAS)

Delta is the faster more powerful winding. I would set it to that and hook up the drive.

LAG HAST means Make Haste.

Star is slower. HOG HAST is Hurry Up.

Lol.

 

Plugged it in today and it didn't go bang or let any smoke out so thats good. Even spun the motor in the correct direction. I need to check the oil level in the head before I run it too much.

Thanks for the help!

If it's dereg then the plate means nothing. Registered owner doesn't equal legal ownership anyway.

All you should need is a receipt from the current owner I think, then work through the entry cert process

Dereg cubic in Christchurch.  Anyone keen to go have a look?

Good plate too, if your grandma drives it.

The Terrano I bought with “mechanic has told us it will need a gearbox replacement at some point” decided today would be that day. Fuck.

Well, everyone who replied on the choice picked the Paj (or bighorns) and you bought the Terrano?

Better get her a K11 then.

Have you been reading the unofficial lvvta page on FB again?

Man that place has some numpties.

What, you mean I can't run 185 radials on my Morris Minor any more????????

The lowest band at present is anything up to 3500kg.

IIRC the argument is that anything below that rate has much the same wear and tear on the roads

(this table for deez)

Yea should do it. Check the terminations in the motor terminal box first. Could be some kind of tricky setup for the 2 speed

@fletch Finally back to this, had a look at the other wiring, found this in the motor terminal block, so I think it is delta for slow and Y for fast.

Simple contactor then a 4-gang drum switch for slow/off/fast which all looks pretty standard (AFAIK)

Shots fired!

I think thread cutting would be a limited use case for most on here. Smaller internal/external threads can be done more easily with taps/dies.

I never tried it with the lathe I sold, there was a bit too much slack in the works, and I never needed it anyway.

Mostly used it for making round things of different sizes and a bit of hole boring/drilling.

If you are not going to be single-point thread cutting of metric threads I don't think it will matter too much.

@Bistro would look good in that.

The badly parked one?

I assume it would have been spot welded at the top and bottom flanges. A spot weld cutter would probably get it off.

How would you manage to weld all the existing parts to the new T piece? They all need to be connected for strength I assume.

Apparently looks like this

So there should be 3 layers in the sandwich, flange on floor, stiffener and outer sill, the inner sill is flanged to the floor.

If this is a proper keeper car (which it seems to be) you should do a proper job, remove the outer sill, and stiffener, the cut back into the inner sill and floor enough to weld on new flange pieces, them replace the stiffener (which looks just flat, maybe just weld a new bottom edge on), then replace the outer sill (again you might be able to just weld a new lower flange on it.
