New guy to Buckets

Maybe ill cut tread in it and use it in the wet???LOL
Buel tank arrived

Have cut and slash to fit it. Still work in progress and have the 3 litre tank mounted.
Also got some more roller parts today and I think theres a motor at work somewhere that might work.

Im not sure if I should strip the colour from the tank. Its abs plastic underneath. I took some off a offcut and it looks the same as the 3 litre tank plastic so maybe black. What do you think???????? Tail will be black gelcoat.

Completed tank and done the rear wheel so far. Im not sure if I should do more ally on wheel or if what I have done is enough.

Just finished 2nd last nylon. Ill try get it going asap but im not sure if tyres and tail will be ready for the next meeting. Think the bt39s might arrive early next week. not sure about the tail. Chain should arrive tomorrow and the header wrap turned up today. I'll most likely work on it all weekend and maybe have it going.

What product did you end up using on the wheels (other than elbow grease)

You also mentioned Mothers for the alloy frame. Is that an autosol like polishing paste?

I drilled a slot in a piece of timber and spun the wheel by hand with a file runing away the paint then held 80 grit then 400grit. I still need some 1000or 1200 then mothers ally polish on them.
Yep mothers is like autosol but a large tub is cheaper and works as well if not better.

Chain arrived today so Ill try getting it going this weekend.'
Wrapped the muffler. If any one needs some wrap I have alot left.
Did one side of front wheel. Still needs more work.
Started building up tire roller but im thinking I might need a boat roller to align wheel.
Got offered a weed eater motor today. Wondering if that could be a good drive option.

um, that looks more like the header than the muffler.

btw that will help condensation rust the header unless you have a particularly good grade stainles system.

Don't expect much racing at Kaitoke then

[mossy1200]

Ok got the chain on and got it going. Seems now thats I rewired it it fires up good. The neighbours love it they all came out to wave at me like I was Rossi. Go something they all shouted.

Whens the next race guys and if its next weekend whens the following one. My front brakes arnt the best so I ordered new braided line but not sure if it will arrive before next weekend.

[F5 Dave]

I think its next weekend, but surely we can find some brake line for you to get things going.

They work but they are long and squisy fat rubber ones. the brakes are only 2 pot on the same side but ill pull them apart tomorrow and see if they just need a good clean etc. The tail still hasnt shown and the guy hasnt responded to any message on tard or email but maybe hes just the no talk alot kind and it will just show up. I can fit the original seat unit if required to run it.
