kicker

Rims and hubs painted and built up with new spokes, new tyres on, rear susp lowered a bit, tail light mount and other brackets cut off. Still mocking things up, still need to paint headlight bucket and brakes but this is where we are at.

Last time I used it it was Marine Clean -> Metal Ready -> POR15

So good!

Sorry I missed this, was stuffed after my nightshifts and ended up going to bed at 8pm

I have been working on my handlebars lately, decided I wanted something narrow. These bars from aliexpress arrived a while back Too wide, so cut up and tacked onto one of the TM adapter plates. The idea was to have the engine as the widest part of the bike (not counting footpegs) so the new bars are about 28cm, this might decrease too if I decide to shorten the ends a bit. Then @Steelies engineering tig'd them up nice for me A bit of paint Noice

Final update here for me but not the car. Got a WOF recently but had to undo the slam and brakes to get it, here's a pic for proof that I did finally get it fairly boned Then put it up for sale lol Signing off xox

Kitchen skids at this time?

Sweet whip, well done! Also good job on binning the blue silicone

Put a few centrepunches where the bearing presses into on the alloy housing

Well that was neat, good to see everyone!

Cool, pm'd ya my number if you need it

I'll be heading to it and can give you a lift, you staying in the CBD?

I want to see a 43 dude train going down the Rere rockslide

You can get new discs, I assume you have the single unit hub and disc setup? The disc surface of the new zinc plated cast iron ones is a bit rough, probably worse than your pitted OG items

Ah yep, I wondered if that might be the go, chur.

Braked trailer question. If the brakes don't work can you lock the reverse lock out in place (to disable the brakes) and pass a wof? Previous owner said Vtnz guy told him it would be ok but it sounds a bit purple monkey dishwasher.

Yeah, can still get pads and seals from manufacturer but would have to hunt out some pistons as they seem to be no longer available. Bearings are easy, they are common ones thankfully.

Like this?

Gotta be Mk1, right?

Just looking at the pads that came out and they look like the Mk1 pads (square) so maybe that's what they are.

Definitely Trojan calipers and as mentioned, bolt hole spacing is around 102mm/4" I asked a person selling Mk2 calipers and they seemed sure they were 100mm spacing but I didn't think 70's NZ was very metric so still not sure

Just sorting a trailer for my dad and it has an old disc brake setup on it. It looks like I'll be replacing the calipers as they are fucked, I assume they are Trojan mk2's but have a question, everyone seems to refer to the mk2s as having a 100mm mount but I measure 102ish on the trailer (which is close to 4"), is it just a way of differentiating them and not actually 100mm? The other mount is referred to as 90mm and I'm wondering if it is actually 88.9mm (which would be 3.5").

I need something like this, I had to drill 4 holes in some steel that had concrete immediately behind it, fucked a few bits getting it done.
