Re: Ideas for making the curve at the end of the gutter?

Have a look at "Japhands make it Kustom"on you tube. I have been realy suprised at how this guy explains things simply, shows how to make useful tooling/machinery out of the junk we have lying around and best methods to achieve what we want to do. :) https://youtu.be/Myhwb1LmMqE?si=sfUEf8v...

Re: Coolant leak

I too have a small leak and often top up the reserve and check the tank. When topping up the main tank there are always bubbles in it. To remove the air I use a straw with a strong copper wire shape like the letter J in it. Cover the top end of straw with thumb (not to let air escape) insert in bott...

Re: Rear Brake Adjusters

Is it the fact that the plate with the bolts on is coming off with the drum?
Does look odd, ( correct me if I'm wrong) but the nut has been removed so both can come out together ?
