What solution did you find for your pneumatic issue on the feed?

Me? Never.....

Old me may have fucked up the Z once......

While reaching for the E-stop in what felt like slow motion I realised the machine didn't give a toss so just watched it chew a pretty big hole in the part and spoil board.

But yes, i'm more worried about catching the blade than the blade cutting something it shouldn't, it does retract ~100mm from that position which "should" help.

 

 

Not surprised that you had issues with SIL, now owned by Motion and all the decent staff left, another one to try is Deviceco Pneumatics if they can't help they may be able to point you in the right direction.

I see is for sale, $85k for anyone with deep pockets and who isn't too tall...

But I found this on a wanted oage

 

For Mazda Rx-4/Luce Coupe -73-75 i'm looking for these parts

NOS or really good Side vents on C-pillar with the Orange Resin [ Picture...> ]

 

Looks similar to the bottom one, looks like it has a tape on the back and it just sticks on

Can anyone confirm if this is the centre of the Rx4 C pillar badge? 

NZ colour chart from 1975

Also this version from Gulf Mazda, note the early version of a double cab

These are some shit images on a white ute, I have some of a yellow version with mag wheels that looks heaps better, just can't find them

You could always add in the Karere stripes, this was the factory supplied diagram on how to apply them, from memory they also rolled white steel rims

Maybe to an aussie with a s1/2/3 rx7? 

So they can fit 22" Simmons 

Will be sending them straight to the scrap man to avoid that happening 

Does anyone know if 626 rwd front struts are useful to anyone in the old mazda/rotary scene? Cheers

Morris 8 

Approx. 132.7mm, very hard to measure tho

Anyone able to measure some for me?

Stock RX3 - 47mm

This is not something I have built, more like something saved.

Came across an old car dealer lightbox that had been painted over many years ago

It was in pieces so I paint stripped the aluminum frame, everything was covered in a thick coat or two of cream coloured house paint.

Inside of the lightbox looked good

Noticed when cleaning up after paint stripping that the ancient can of thinners I had softened the paint quite noticeably, not knowing how to remove the old house paint without damaging the plastic sign I decided to test a small piece, to my surprise it softened the paint nicely allowing me to gently scrap the paint off

After quite a few hours over a few weekends it was time to reassemble

The wife has been bugging me all year for a outside fire for the garden.

So I made her one for Christmas.

That is very cool, would you consider making them for sale? 

Looks good, 3 speed 90 with the large engine door? Or asthmatic 50?

I have the early model 90, 1965, 3 speed with small door so engine upgrade options are almost nil. I used to have an SS90, that was a fun scoot - one I should never have sold

Yup  nothing atm,  early ones are hardto get, mine fell apart  and I'm so close to start-up 

How similar are they to 808? I have a bunch of random mazda ones including 808, unfortunately i am away until next weekend, let me know if you can't find anything
