there are diodes on the back of the headlight motors that blow or vibrate off. https://www.visualimpressions.ca/fiat/diodes.htm

and there is a v6 capri racecar in the shed as well.

this bloke did the front guard on my Capri about a year ago. top quality work, located in governors bay. is building a widebody capri in steel. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/ford/exterior/listing/4480729481

https://www.steelpanels.co.uk/category/ford/capri-mk-1/engine/page/2/ these guys do a lot of parts for capris. palmside in Christchurch are the nz agents I think

Apologies for not making it today, wife’s car (vw golf) did the European thing and shit the power steering. so I spent the day fixing broken motorcycles.

Have also heard the acetone and atf mix works well. some old Barry told me, or I heard about it here. same thing really…

Stationary load test. then when it’s running, put the front wheel against the shed and load up the clutch. another stationary load test. if it dose a skid, all is well.

Slightly Bevel the end of the brushes that contact the commutator. Helps bedding in. did my apprenticeship on old British stuff, later on worked at allparts motorcycles in chch. done heaps of these. also make shure the brush moves freely in the holder. everthing you are doing look fine. another trick is to run the starter on jumper leads after you assemble it, and push the splined end into a piece of wood to load it up. Most sparkie shops I worked at had big chunks ground out of the broom handle from this. cheers.

32 degrees, salt water pool. It’s mint.

perfect pool weather. its deep, but has seats on the side in the water. also good for manus.

Have you thought about booking the pool? 32 degrees at the moment

Read something the other day about new rules coming into effect if a car has been acid washed and certification/wof inspections. something @cletus may know about?

Keen to catch up with you weirdos, been a while.

13x6 fronts, 13x7 rears. off a mk1 Capri, so should fit.

Was a glass shell I brought for $50. sold it last year to a panel shop for wall art.

Brought some wheels today.

Or blackboard paint and chalk flames/scallops etc

wonder if a gsx 400 impluse unit would work then? colors should match up? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/motorbikes/parts-for-sale/electrics/listing/4186198857

Pm me your address, I’ll get the girls at work to courier it.
