I hope everyone likes scurvy 

THEY TURNED MY BOY INTO A BOX, A BOX GODDAM YOU 

Bolt in for all the popular classics now anyways

They want about 45k squid for a sputter in - glide away conversion from what I understand 

That's converting it to automatic with a reduction box. Some places are doing bolt to morrie gearbox adaptors. 

The torque is a lot more so I don't think thats a good idea, and you would want a nicer ratio diff. 

People ask. But is it the same power as the original? Can I drive it in traffic. 

My man an A series is like 40hp, even a light duty motor option is making 100

+1 for shrinking discs.  You can buy em direct from the OG, Wray

Yeah that's where I got mine. Better than an old pot lid for sure

Oh another thing I picked up from one of thesw videos was finding the point in the oil can that needs addressing. Using both hands you go around the area that pops in and out. At some point you will be able to press down on one spot and the rest won't want to pop any more

Can you get fine tip for lpg? For me at least an oxy act rig is a bit much admin

Also, practice on something else first. My ute was evidently the apprentice practice rig when it was built by the workshop judging from, well everything.... 

The roof had been shrunk with a torch, but they fucked it up, lost most of the crown, ended up just pushing it in and carving a new one out of bog

A disk is certainly fairly amateur friendly, it doesn't shrink too much in one go sort of thing

This was a good video

Gwan get some mitsi parts

Probably available used as they are the only part that won't rust off

I have a set of shrinking disks, they are gold, did my rooted cab roof with them and got it near perfect. 

A guide coat, then zing with the disk till you see the high bits. Spray with water in a spray bottle. Hammer up low spots. Repeat

Lost about 1 minute over a week, which is about as new for one of those, certainly pretty great now that it's 75 odd years old. 

Suits me, Just roll it forwards a minute at church on a sunday

I did upsidedown lawnmower and dog hair transporter wingroad seats with a water blaster and thr carpet shampooer machine, then water blast till water ran clear. Big difference

That honda one may work if its steel like it says.  is 6 rib but can zing the side off and weld it back on. 

fd rx7 is actually smaller,  120mm so aftermarket under drive probably wont get me there,  if its a thing.

Try this, it's also got some fitment of you wanted to measure up at a wrwcker

You can also put part numbers into rockauto. Try this one too 12605677 

One of those speedy Honda ones maybe

You shoulda said 

Get some megasmoke too

Ahh, so that's where they came up with the lectron

Enough of that nonsense (press the sleeve out of a GN and run the piston in that in the standard cylinder to maintain std head) 

I went and picked up 2 engines tonight. One complete and supposedly running, although backfiring (has a China pod filter on it) and a second junker parts engine. 

Guy had lots of other parts, but I refused, because putting decent parts on this is a slippery slope to a  100hrs paintjob

Some sausage fingers been in this one

You can add "I'm going to spend a few hours on the grinder" to the list of things your wife doesn't want to hear...

 

Anyone keen to buy this after I put a new X axis belt on it? Machine has done probably less than five hours of work

"Because I'm not posh (or rich) enough to own a surface grinder I needed to make one. Yes its a bit basic but it will work. I made this. "

Is the date of manufactur on that label?

Not. This one, that's the standards

Probably that one on the right, 46 week of 2013? Maybe there is/was another with month and year and the numbers

Ohman I could ruin so many Chinese suzuki parts with that

I think actually something like an lt185 has 1cm less cylinder height as well. I forget if it uses a Dr200 piston tho which has a bigger pin. 

But no, I'm not doing that, I just happened to have that sitting on the shelf

You can fit a gn125 cylinder with some slotting of the bolt holes apparently. (that's actually an an125 cylinder but it's almost the same) looks like there's enough meat to do that. 2 on the right are pretty close

Is about 1cm taller
