  1. Looks like literal tons of slash came down and blocked everything up
  2. Do you wanna do a leak down test?
  3. Just open the sunroof and fill er up
  4. I have a bike for it, but every other part of the admin is not confirmed
  5. Going to stiffen up this service cart, or build around it, to mount the lathe to. Have already filled it with tooling
  6. And now its a mini camper. Going to build a bathtub type base out of ply to attach it to, so it can all slide off as one piece (and have some decent mounting points) The idea is to make it a pop up, with canvas sides. It's about 76cm tall inside, so with 1.2m of canvas sides it should be pretty good inside. Will build a bed base/storage/kitchen bench into the ply base so it is all contained
  7. Sometimes the body number was stamped in a few different spots. Obviously first is to look on firewall, maybe its just been painted over If it's been removed, that's a little bit of a problem Stuff like mustangs had multiple numbers in places like under the Fender flange, under the seat, in the foot well etc
  8. This was the worst idea I have ever had. It's yet to see a bike Quick maths at the dump scales says it weighs about 165kg
  9. Ms paint combined with graphs at long last
  10. I have a bike with the vin under the seat, which is bolt on, and the chassis number on the headtube is fully filled with paint (and if you search for that number nothing comes up anyway) Life is pain
  11. I have done some testing regarding this, and at about the 20 year mark the adhesive doesn't offer much resistance. The main thing to pay attention to is the rivet spinning just as you break through the cap which will leave an obvious mark
  12. Does it matter that, that might remove the black printing on it. Because that seems like defacing or altering it too
  13. Probably done now, but you could use a caramel wheel on that tape
  14. This one looks close https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/antiques-collectables/automotive-transport/cars/listing/3920023288 This one not quite, but has the square type core https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/antiques-collectables/automotive-transport/cars/listing/3920051851
  15. This was mildly interesting. Be good for graphs
  16. Yeah that's how you do it. Spin in a lathe and look for wobble
  17. Posibly a gz125 engine Or volty
  18. By eye, then hammer it home from what I have seen of the builds on YouTube (hold it with your bare feet so it doesn't move around) I'd probably rig something up with v blocks and a surface plate I guess
  19. Oh yeah, that could be worth inspecting. Even a stock rod coupled with a slight offset pin would gain a few cc. Here's a "big sump" GN? 125 engine 1100 ml oil vs 850ml of the normal GN125 engines. All the covers, cylinder, and head are visibly different. I dunno what this was from, but I have a suspicion that it is the engine that takes the high dome big bore piston (and probably the different pitch timing chain and conrod)
