Worse than that Yoeddynz, its also Fibreglass and other (probably more nasty) things that give the disc its structure. Makes me feel sick thinking about it. Also, check the computers grille/filter on any cnc/workshop machinery. Ya breaking that shit in all day long, its terrible.

True. Battery tenders are the best thing for any battery and reliable operation. With that said, I believe lead acid lose around 5% and lithium ion around 2% in self discharge per month. blockquote widgetlockquote widget

Huh? You mean a standard agm battery?

Its bloody great. The built in discharge protection to stop it going too low works and has saved me a few times. I took bike out today- not used for 3 or 4 weeks and it started instantly. You def get what ya pay for.

Damn that looks sweet.

Wow the correct guards suit it a whole lot better!!

It works extremely well. I have used it to bring numerous DEAD batteries back to life. The science is interesting and makes sense when ya look into it. 10/10 would bang again.

So, question for the chemists out there. Brake fluid eats buna seals, hence why everything in a modern brake system is viton (correct me if I'm wrong here, I just know I needed a seal for bikes clutch and finding a viton one was impossible). Isn't ATF similar? Id have thought it would have eaten every normal o ring and seal in the diesel system

Just fyi, to remove moisture you could also process the oil using a vacuum chamber to boil the fluid out. This may be easier/faster/safer than heating it.

How would you set it up though? Only way I can think of is to get a piece of bright bar twice the length of the cam then machine it to fit, clamp it in there with the cover and setup on the bar that protrudes. Or maybe you could find a few reference surfaces in there and setup to those? Bolt holes and head gasket face?

Nice project. Good cars! We got the wife a hybrid one a year ago, both of us love it. Looks like total nana spec but inside it feels like a sports car and drives like a kart. They ain't all the same tho! Workmate had one that was a miserable thing to drive and unbelievably slow.

So good, wish you had a YouTube series.

Hi @Vintage Grumble how will you set that up for machining? I just can't work out how you'd get it right. Also, how will you retain the bearings at the driven end?

Nice view from @Geophys place this morning.

Lingling is that you

Lol my bike is around 5.5l per 100 when I'm driving pretty darn nice. Have heard bikes have a shit coefficient of drag but no idea how that compares with an eco.

yeah! actually got dinner there, was bloody good! fish, chips and a number of scallops. then for breakfast the next morning got smashed avo with eggs on toast. Bloody good, and perfectly located when camping there.

My stay was lush. Very quiet and never seen facilities so clean!!!

1300km in total.

Stoop meet in Gisborne. Did 740ish km yesterday.

yeah boi. Rego still on hold, replacement chassis bits ready to weld into place, the formed bits of floor ready to weld into place, etc etc. I have done probably 80% of the rust to date, what remains is ready to go once I can make smoke and dust. The only thing stopping it from being a roller is no diff center- its on the list Completely undecided on engine now. Sold most of my v8 stuff to fund bike stuff- and the bike stuff has made trying to make a car fast totally irrelevant.

That's flipping incredible work. Cullen's in Te Aroha have always done my laser (and water jet, but that may have been in Auckland, my memory is fading) with good turn around times.

Just bought new heavy duty heater channels which were on special coz of light surface rust. Can't wait for house to finish so we can move out of this fuckin shed and I can make some dust.
