Yes, it is human to whine, but I am lucky. However world govt work may dry up in years to come as budgets get cut in future as they did with gfc. Time will tell.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

My dials are in some foriegn measurement system. Much as I am not a fan of the French. . . Michelin tyres and SI system are winners.

Why the fuck would you?
That said my 50 racer sprockets were made like that until I realised mx sprockets were cheap and by Scotch keying the to an old sprocket, easy to adapt with no offset.

Just remembered that I need to fix the tripod on the telescope and replace the battery holder to find out if the motor is still running.
Replacing the battery holder may be a little tricky as it holds 8 AA batteries and nought much else in the house does. Can I connect the wires from the battery pack directly to a car battery?
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

Day two of being a pyromaniac. Ended up with two incineraters going yesterday.

I may have enough odds and sods in the shed to build one of these..

Looks like an easy adapter to make to fit some generic sprocket. JT cattledog is great for that sort of thing.

Next time you're at a meeting with chairs, have a look at an LCR back end. Everything made to suit LCR - not what's available over the counter.
I'm assuming Nodrog is making up alternative gearing which would be a good use of time.
Had a better run on the frame today. Lower loops tacked up. Crossmembers to put in - 2 at the front of the engine, one behind. One for the gearbox lower pivot mount
Then it can come off the jig and be fully welded and the swingarm mounts cut. Then back in the jig to put them on.
The rear subframe should be easy but i don't have shocks for it yet so it can wait.

That isn't for an LCR

No, the clue is on the grease pot.
I see he was using the genuine brand of grease.

Hi Guys .I hate computers as much as the hate me so I am having a play putting up some photos. "My name is Ian and this is my picture" spyda had a picture of his corgi and mentioned that it was the evolution of the military paratroopers Wellbike. Here is a replica I built about 10 years ago for military re-enacting. The only thing I didn't build was the seat, motor and rims. 3 fun facts about the corgys I learnt. 1. the district nurses in Auckland had them and I cannot get the picture out of my head of 18 stone nurse Gladys Emanuel riding up queens street on one 2; you could buy a tilting sidecar for them and the ad shows a plumber using one. 3. a friends mother had one and lived in Waitotara and used to ride it to Wanganui which is about a 25min drive now but back then some of it could have been gravel. Needs must as they say. I can asure you they are not very plesent to ride as you feel every bump. As far as I know there is only 3 genuine wellbikes in the country . one in Hamilton one down south and the one I copied in storage in the Waiuru museum .Ian

Ok, so that was an old pic. Can I assume then that Noddy is "blowing in the wind" so to speak rather than doing something useful....
I stand by the meaning of the post that nothing's simple on a chair,
Ian - I'll call you that if I may - that replica is hard-core re-enacter fodder. I had a mate here -dead now- who was into the vehicles.
Had almost the lot from jeep to 6X6. At the time of his death he had a line on a tank recovery vehicle he coveted.
Would probably have swapped you a couple of vintage BSA's for that.
