Jaycar used to sell a kit years ago but I'm sure there's something cheap that could be built

yellowbox worked right out of the box

Perfect time to make up some nice brass gears for a diy inline speedo corrector. I have an old Miles to kph one in morrie

I made some similar things to do the floor in my ute. I used a press, but some things i learned

i made 2x square 19mm plywood, with the same size hole in each of them. With plenty of overlap for the panel (2 or 3 times the diam of the circle) and zinged self tapping wood screws all around the edge. This helped a lot to keep any wrinking of the surrounding flat to a minimum.

Then i welded a few pieces of 10mm steel together and spun it in a drillpress and shaped it with a grinder to make the correct floor shape, i made this maybe 2mm smaller than the hole in the bucks

as you will have a hole in it to do this, what you can then do is drill a hole dead centre in the sheet metal you are shaping. without a press, you can put another plate of 10mm steel on the other side of your wooden bucks and using a greased up bolt, ugaduga the two together. 1mmis steel will shape really well this way, and might save you some elbow with the hammer

thermostat out, fill with water and soda crystals let it run for a bit. OS approved

i usually back flush thr radiator and heater while im at it

Maybe I should run without thermostat and see what happens. 

it still wont heat up lol

my ute was never higher than just above bottom notch with a stuck open thermostat (except for the time i forgot to turn the fan on and had to open and close like 30 farm gates)

do they want to inspect it

factory markings on them

they are supposed to have the E marking on them (or equivalent). its in the entry cert paperwork if you are looking for it.

china will put an e on anything you want,  and i recall a wof doesnt need the e

you can of course put some big ugly definately road legal gn125 lamp ziptied on for the inspection and then remove after for a small one, i did something like that for DR200

For motorcycle (Class L) this is apparently only required if built after 1st jan 2006, for brakes. Indicators are 1996. Also only needs to be shown to.comply however that is, but just easier to put modern complying ones on for thr inspection tbh

Plus once you ride it, it becomes worth a lot less.

you buy it, unbox it on YouTube,  then destroy it for max rage clicks

even the $100 jobbies from local bike shops arent great quality anymore 

the only difference is the price on those

yeah i got another to put in the tail hump of my cafe racer, the original lead acid battery is about the size of a 2l ice cream container lol.

the cheap agms are so cheap, they are like $30 new for small china scooter ones. but you need a new one every year
