I am using thr hotcams lt230 race cam. There's a couple.levels The worm gear is for the rev counter. I converted to electric gauge. A dr200 cam is a good easy to get upgrade, it's a little less duration than the hotcam I have. The higher stages needed upgraded valve gear (that they also sell) but might have wanted a modified piston. I would do the cam over a china big bore, in my testing they put out about the same power difference but the cam is more.reliable. Also I ordered several aliexpress race cars and they either never showed up or were standard cams -
@mlracing.co.nz Yes, I saw a jig from a wheel place come up for sale a year or two ago. It was just a grinder mounted to a stand and a hub welded to it, you could slide one half back or forward to align the disk on the rim Not totally dissimilar to this

Chassis wax might also do thr job of sticking something g down

Looks like a triang I have this leftovers from the triang I cut up for the trailer, but looks like a smaller wheel? If you want it you can have it I think you will find one, I have seen quite a few old triangs come up.

Random slightly cool stuff you built but not worth its own thread, thread

Yea its the first one, kneecapped by greed being locked to pre-programmed cartridges, and then suing anyone making decent software for it. Not anymore tho -
The trick is getting it perfect off the gun, works for me/I'm due some new glasses This paintjob reminds me of a car I used to see years ago, it was something similar.

I'm about $50,all in. Lots of $1 reserve and $5 here and there, about 35 for the laptop Will use my pc for design work and transfer it over just for cutting probably. It's a bit nicer to use for that stuff. Main issue was getting the software to run by itself without me having to watch it. Doesn't like Windows 10 even in compatability mode, xp is fine, and the cutter seems to work a lot faster and smoother too -

I unleashed some autism and set up a "sticker station" drawers for consuambles, mats, tools, vinyl sliding cabinet fits cutter and i got a cheap xp laptop to run the old programs without the driver issues i was getting on my pc. Have a guillotine on the right for cutting strips from rolls. All fits away leaving a flat worktop when not "printing" I don't currently.have my scanner in there, hopefully it fits too -
You could use press in threaded inserts for those rod and nut bits Press in from the bottom, pick one with a lip Probably fine
-
That's normal. There's sometimes an arrow on the flywheel and sometimes a line punched into the threaded crank end. But not usually one on the body lol. Clint, I got invited to join the South Auckland vintage engine restorer club https://vera.ggg.net.nz/ Come pump some water and discuss villiers timing marks

Want this? I have the whole engine I think it's a 63, it came off a mower about that age. I'm not sure on hp Model 60202 type 949083 serial 6305083 All there, guy was going to restore it. Will need a head gasket. He said something about the tappets. They look alright, so I assume it wants longer (new) valves or have the current ones lapped in till the clearance is corr3ct

That's what I was looking for

You could tie some string front and back and in an X inside the car, then go take some hard corners and see if any droop during the turn

I think you will find the smith's terminal shouldn't be wiggly. Some of them have the terminal rivited/peened on in the centre and being fairly soft brass they get like that
-
Yeah that or panel bond 3m also make badge and trim adhesive which would work, but a tube of screen goo is probably easier and cheaper to get
