I wouldn't agree, my VTR is carbed and would be exempt if it was a year newer. It probably should be exempt but as going into london
isn't really of any interest to me, I am not going to pay to have it exempted.
I saw a post from someone with a slingshot gsxr, he went to the testing place, iI...
I have a ULEZ non compliant honda and was told to get a copy of the certificate of conformity and it's illegalness would be updated to ULEZ approved.
I was to contact honda and they would give[freely] a copy of the certificate, but it turned out my honda is a 2001 and NOx figures weren't on...
No idea how they work.
Mine has a single strand of wire wrapped around the xenon tube for a few turns, trigger wire?
I have a snap-on strobe, if dropped, e.g falls off the slam panel onto the ground the tube breaks.
Only £80 for a service exchange. As I used a strobe multiple times a day, I had...
By the 70's I saw them marked as an XP welder and halfrauds gave them away with a 40 quid stick welder, along with a carbon arc torch and a carbon arc spot welder thingie. While my mates were drooling at the lingery shop window on the other side of the road, I was in haflefrauds looking at the...
I cut and welded a cheap ebay blade - for a horizontal saw- to go on my whitehead bandsaw.
I had 6'8" blade length in my head and I made the blade that long.
The resulting blade is about 6" short!
The bit of blade I cut out of the ebay blade is about 6", so I could have just put the **Language**ing...
AKA The Power of Slow
Plastazote is the only closed cell foam I have tried.
It seemed to do the job, if I stuck a bit of 1" foam on a seat unit and was sitting on foam not the seat unit.
I didn't have any sort of cover of the foam. If it had been ******* down all day I wiped the rain off...
I had a seat base trimmed by a local car trimmer, he put a softer foam over the plastazote I had put on it, then he trimmed the soft foam with a
ham knife. He called it a ham knife, the blade resembled a blade made from a sharpened hacksaw blade[about a foot long and half an inch wide].
After...
Use multiple mics if you taking a lot of measurments spread out in the range one mic covers.
I used to make something that had three measurments in the 1"-2" range and it worked out 3 mics
was much better than continuly winding the mic from 1" to 2".
Above post beat me to it.
What's the feel...
Sort of what I wanted one for.
I made a plug, I can't remember what I trimmed down to make it, I grabbed all the existing plugs I had and hacked something with as close
to correct pitch. At four, or is it five, contacts the incorrect pitch plug contacts the Mitutoyo contacts. I hacked the...
I was given a box of Eclipse hacksaw blades, not having a power hacksaw I used the blades.
for cleaning polishing mops, I might still have a few of the blades, the teeth are all rounded.
What you want is a pyramid to put them in!
Bloke in the next room to us had to much to dream in the 60's, I...
Where are you measuring them?
I find them very close to marked size, I will measure one. The drill I picked up must be 5/16", it looks
slightly under .3125" diam but not as much as a tenth under. The blunt end is .3108" diam.
I have the normal fractional sizes plus the odd sizes for reamers and...
I am bodging together an ignition system, yes I should have just bought a coil
and used points, but I am trying to use what I have and that includes a Vdub polo coil.
Are the connectors farily universal or specific to a polo III 6N2[what google tells me this coil is for]?
For aluminium I used what was described as wood blades, something like 4tpi, they cut everything
from 1mm sheet upto lumps a few inches thick off castings, but the thick stuff gets very hot.
My bandsaw is to fast for steel.
I thought it
I thought the salt in hardening recipes was Sodium Ferrocyanide, also known as E535.
I did find an old writen thing about hardening and the ferrocyanide decreased the time
it was necessary to hold the pack at the casing tempt from several days to hours; well
something like that.
I asked on here about aging brass, think I was told to use vinegar and if everyone above says to add salt I guess I must have.
I dunked the freshly turned shiny bits in vinegar and after a day they matched the rest of the 1930's instrument they were going on.
