Are you going to shroud that belt to reduce the possibility of inadvertent finger/toe interaction?

None of my bikes have shrouds on chains and I still have all 12 toes

Nah, if they're dumb enough to stick anything in there they can live with the results.

Another one saved kinda/ enfield Barrys will tell you not to bother because its been ruined by having a scope fitted.

That's the bosses job, they're mostly her books. I'm giving it another week to make sure the oil has properly gone off

Fabricobbled a vise slider and a removable vise plate for the work van today

Bench Flashing rig for doing Holden PCM'S, ive now got 3 dead PCM'S on the shelf at 80 bucks a pop i decided no more loose modules and batteries.

PCM now snaps into the cradle out of the car and is powered off a computer power supply, so its rock solid previously just so much as bumping the table could ruin a write or kill coms bricking the pcm completely.

Smashed out 20 binary reflashes today trying to get this Mafless tune working better.

Had 2 bad writes that recovered this would normally be a write off. Will tidy it up it up eventually but its doing its job.
