Unclejake Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Carb guy down the road cant set up my 45 cause he decided to go on holiday. I assume you are in Rotavegas.... if not I have a great number of 45mm Weber venturis, emulsion tubes, air correctors, main jets and idle jets you can borrow to work out what you want to purchase. None are for sale but you can borrow whatever you want for a week or so aow. Regardling three piece rims - I don't know what you should do with the bolts but Locktite makes a really awesome thread sealing paste that you can get from the likes of Schrodoco. It works like thread tape but is a paste. Chur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works like thread tape but is a paste. Chur. yeah/nah im in Rotorua. Cause im running in a fresh engine I kinda wanted him to set it up to the mods ive done.. Dont want to wash the bores on the drive home or something stupid.. this one wasnt cheap. Then again it wont be doing to large revs so maybe I just use pinna iones for now as it shouldnt run lean under 5g. Who knows.. dont know fuck all bout sidies yet! Gues I will once Ive put this all back togther. Rims.. I wasnt really trying to seal the nuts.. Ive put a huge bead all around the rim where the two join and then smoothed it out with my finger lots.. Was messy but was how they were sealed when I orig pulled them apart. Figured it'd be easier to seal the air in the rim rather than seal the nuts/bolts etc.. if ya get what im tryin to say. I think I need more than just a mad rush.. Got tommorrow and half Wed to work on it.. then Sat and half Sunday. Still gotta... -Rebuild head.. when the cam gets here... Only big job left -Get conectors to conect braided line to tank. -Fit new tyres. -Check what my electric fuel pump is + mount. -Cut half the front of car out and mount Rad. -Figure out all wires and attatch them all to new column. -And the one that'll hold me up... exhaust as I cant do it myself and no-one else will be available Sunday! Might be the dodgy flange type do it yaself job for now! The hole in the tunnel where the gbox needed to come through can stay open for now.. AC FTW.. Just want the car home I think. Tie loose ends up over the month before cert/wof. Chur cam, OS photoshoots Welly crew when we all said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
