Megumi and I are keen

Update with pictures I made a bracket for the air horns: Didn't like the Siamese inlet ports so New ports on the way...

Here's a list of resistance of tubes used as beer keg line: 3/16″ ID vinyl tubing = 3 psi/ft 1/4″ ID vinyl tubing = 0.85 psi/ft 3/16″ ID Polyethylene tubing = 2.2 psi/ft 1/4″ ID Polyethylene tubing = 0.5 psi/ft 3/8″ OD Stainless tubing = 0.2 psi/ft 5/16″ OD Stainless tubing = 0.5 psi/ft 1/4″ OD Stainless tubing = 2 psi/ft

I think if you do a good job, some rich fulla will want it for his mancave. Rich guys all want stuff that none of their friends can buy, and everyone's seen topgear... Might be tricky finding the buyer though, as I doubt the guy will be spending his spare time scouring trademe for it. Maybe find some design shop to buy it off you. They'll want a 100% markup, but can probably sell it for a lot more than you can. I'd probably go for a luxury look with walnut trim rather than racing style, but it's your chair

You should get at least 1 full turn on the mixture screw, I'd check the idle jet first it may have been drilled. Can't remember if there's an air corrector on the idle circuit but that could be blocked maybe?

America. Or try total bodyshop

Yeah just live up to your name and weld together some rims, call it a log burner

thought about a living roof?

Thought it was about time for an update... I went overseas to work a bit in late 2011. I parked the brumby up and decided last summer to give it a minor refresh. Ran out of money and/or motivation, so it sat under a tarpaulin all last winter. Got stuck back into it this summer. Stripped back the front end and repainted the front valence, guards, doors etc. made up a front bumper from an old farm gate style bullbar. My friend was scrapping his mondeo so I scored the heated leather seats. With a bot of work I was able to bolt them to the original rails. soooooo comfy! It was always a bit of a struggle to fit my legs under the huge steering wheel, so when I found this slightly smaller momo at the dump shop for $5 I snapped it up. Took a while to find the boss kit as subaru changed it soon after, but it was worth it. The worst rust was in the bonnet. So I replaced it with steel. I replaced the brake fluid, took it for a test drive and all seems well. I haven't driven anything oldschool in the meantime and it definitely feels a bit weird. I still have the 5sp RX box etc and I'm keen to fit that and make the engine breathe a bit better but I'll probably wait until I have a proper workshop. For now I just want to drive it! I can't find the old discussion thread, so if you have anything to say, say it here //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/43229-cubastreets-brumby/

talk smack about my ute here

on a pushrod engine, if I shave the heads 0.5mm, can I get the can reground with the base circle 1mm smaller dia and everything's hunky dory?

I put some of that shit that you throw in the power steering to stop it from leaking in my jack. I think it's called power steering stop leak or something like that. anyway, it worked a treat and a few years later the Jack still works fine.

shoulda stuck it on flymos and you would have saved yourself the cost of excavating the driveway.

or fill it with nitrous and then sit in it and have a giggle while it gets craned in

why not keep the engine block 'Lucas, Prince of Darkness' black?

sounds like you're using too much power. you want just enough amps to get a weldpool. also keep the tungsten as close to the work as possible. just high enough that when you add filler rod it doesn't end up on the tungsten. for pedal shouldn't make the machine go higher than the peak amps setting on the machine so something's wrong there

it's the balance or clean width knob that does that. it's a completely different function and works whether you have the pulse on or off. the pulse function doesn't affect cleaning, just the amperage.

this is the bit you have mixed up. say you set the peak current to 100a and the base current to 40%. on dc it pulses between 100a and 40a. on ac it pulses between 100a ac and 40a ac, not 100A+ and 40a-. the diagram doesn't show -ve voltage anywhere, just the high and low current.

^^ nope. base current is the low pulse setting, it works on ac or dc. pulse width and frequency are also ac or dc, that diagram never goes negative. clean width is the % time spent in the negative (electrode positive irl) when you're on ac.

the peak current is your main heat control, the clean area width is your ac balance. turn it to the left for more penetration and right for more cleaning. of those four switches on the right, the bottom left one turns on and off the pulse. this makes the power pulse hi-lo-hi-lo... the base current sets the low power setting, it's usually a percentage of the peak current. the duty cycle is the percentage of time on the high setting and the frequency is how fast it happens. if you want to play with that turn the duty cycle and base current to about 40% and the frequency to about 1s, it might help to give your welding a bit of rhythm. the arc force is for stick welding set the post had to about 1 sec per 10a current. the down slope helps avoid craters when you finish the weld

+1 on the Miller digital elite helmet, they're really good and have a 3 year warranty. set the ac balance towards the penetrating end of the scale unless your alloy is old and cruddy. more cleaning means more heat going into the torch which can overheat it pretty quick. I find a foot pedal real handy for ali. it conducts heat so fast that when you start the weld you need a lot of amps to get the pool going but toward the end of the weld the metal is getting saturated and without a pedal you have to keep welding faster and faster. being able to back off makes it that much easier.

park house on two rails and call it a carriage

surfcaster fishing rods to prop up the power lines and slide it in underneath? I feel ya pain, guess that's why project managers charge so much.... I share yard space with WE, haven't seen them at all lately so I guess they're mad busy. or all on holiday.
