I have a timesert kit that includes a thing to recut the seat inline with the new thread too

Used a D shackle and a pin from a door hinge out of a 1930s bungalow.

Will attach it with a bit of sink plug chain or something sonic doesn't get lost

Threw some brass and beeswax on the drawbar. Put some big brass screws through the 2 sections, I knew I was saving those for something. 

I think it looks suitably vintage

Will do some reshaping to the rimu drawbar once the glue sets, and make some kind of hook set up. I have an eye bolt mounted to the back of the trike. 

Also painted the tray, will probably rivet it on using the original brackets. Painted the white part just before it ruined heavily, so it's not very nice. Oops. Might line it with some wood or something nice rather than paint again

Bout that time again

They seem to sell fairly readily

This is a common motorcycle enthusiast tattoo as its on the throttle hand

What colour code is the paint?

One dummy carb on each side. It's a street rod m9

Well Roland, it appears you have overlooked Honda's F1 developer designing the goldwing engine

Normally there would be a protective layer of cowshit holding it in

You will probably need to rekit or replace rather than clean.

I'm a couple of years on some rekitted ones without issue (nla so that's the only option on those ones)

If you have easy access to the fuel tap then I'd probably throw a generic manual one one. I always turn mine off when I park so it's 2nd nature

Lucky he's uses to having the tyre sliding all over the place cos. Vrod

You can get a non leather flat belt that will work well and not require any maintenance, most industrial belt places can make this to size. Some lathe people cut a strip of conveyer belt to size 

But I suppose this is oldschool after all and you might want the real deal

Found some lost media

70 year old crossplys?

I got some pressed sheet metal ones off I think off summit racing a while back. Quite thick

like to introduce myself here to the forum - my name is Tilmann and I do enjoy very much any old machinery which is not computer controlled. I like to refurbish and improve and of course use these cars or bikes on a daily basis.

Do you hang around Opotiki in nz?

When I was at tech, some rep brought in a roll of Flux core wire that also used shielding gas. It's party trick was the beautiful welds in all positions even with me holding the torch. 

Anyone know this voodoo wire?
