  1. I have started a few if those pocket bike 2 strokes like that, using a drill you have to be quick to take it back off when it starts, or the nut unscrews itself. I think I ended up loctiting it on
  2. If you are good with oil changes and don't cook the oil regularly, then they last for 30+ years When they do stain you can use a little brake cleaner and a small bottle brush Source:shitheap bikes
  3. Need a chair now 3 size stool. 2 chair heights and the bigger stool. Gives a few years of growing hopefully
  4. New place has a composting toilet, he will be putting lots of himself in there too
  5. Using the leftovers of the drawers, I made a tiny oak desk and drawer. Not sure how I'm gona finish it, but kid is gona scribble all over it anyways. Used up my collection of vintage screws too, so it's indistinguishable from one built in the 40s
  6. I have straightened it using the relief cut in my sheds concrete floor. Just roll it out with light pressure I jambed one end under the edge of the wall, and walked it out, came out just perfect
  7. Is bundy unacceptable? https://www.brassfit.co.nz/bundy-tube-2
  8. Macs equipment is a kunifer supplier, kunifer makes 3/8. They maaaaay have some
  9. Ruined a nice period piece of furniture these last few weeks Ebonised the drawers with a solution of strong black tea, and steelwool dissolved in vinegar Then sanded, and bleached the original stain out with lye and then hydrogen peroxide. Really wanted to avoid the orange/golden tone of the oak showing through. So whitewashed it all with some bone white to match our window frames
  10. Yellow bikes are great, I hope you have the matching suit
  11. Lever arm morrie trick is just put thicker fluid in, 30wt I think it was for a firmer road feel Have also seen a tube with adjustable fitting added to connect the two cylinders to give adjustable dampening
  12. There's a variety of tools in my shed, and pickapart not far away if it'll limp to south auckland None of my cars go, so I'm usually nearby
  13. Possibly the insulation on the trailer wiring has been torn/worn through and as a result you are getting stuff earthing where it shouldn't Might just be that the earth has been put back in the wrong spot too
  14. Yeah there's some good barnfind shit there eh, Id say its flood damaged/floated to thr top of the rubbish pit It would all look rad in candy apple red, but I already have a pile of scrap to work through
  15. Here's a twin tube version I thought the twin tube ones were bigger, but this looks the same size if not smaller. Possibly it's that the seat is actually an adults one https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/antiques-collectables/coins/new-zealand-pre-decimal/collections/listing/4307746259?cc=61&pid=2067400817&hbc=24&ct=image&tm=email&et=61&mt=DEC3FABC-AB8C-4119-8FA0-B206A40E13F0 I wouldn't mind another to make a trailer out of, Warkworth is a bit far tho
  16. Can you not turn the roller you have to the other side. Mine is 0.6 and 0.8 on the same one
