Stuff you have fixed today

Something different this week.

 

[Melvyn Best]

Am I missing something here, or is your maths just *****?

I thought the same, until I read all of the post.

I de-rusted and drilled out the seized in bolts through the hubs of my Mazda rear axle project.

Not exactly ‘fixed’ but part way to possibly being utilised on my trike.....

Maybe..... but more likely to sit in the corner of the shed for a while.

I'm using the same for the rear end of my new trials car. By pure fluke, found some driveshafts that fit that are 30mm shorter to work with my fabricated wishbones, so the rear track is more similar to original live axle. I just don't know what they are from!

Lots of inspiration out there on Haynes Roadster sites, even Westfield sites - the easiest, quickest, way would be to buy their wishbones.

I'm keeping the Mazda diff mounts,just using solid bobbins and solid front mount - there's a few other cars being built with that bit top beam cut down - not too sure how long they will last.

Sounds interesting. I’m still not sure which direction I’m going in, suddenly have lots of projects on the go. I’ve toyed with shortening the drive shafts, simple sleeve and weld.

Cheers. Grade two so save as much as you can and like for like.

Though il be honest. If it was my house I'd have replaced all but the roller

I found a tripod in the skip at work with a broken leg. It just needed a bit of the tabs bending to repair it

I've got nothing to put on it mind...

Laser level? I use plasterboard props for mine

I have a slightly crappy Stanley one but I think I'll need a 6>8mm adapter to fit it.

Yet.

I use a bike handlebar camera mount.

Stick it anywhere on a pole then.
