    A late 70s 3cyl Daihatsu Charade? Ooh you've rumbled me.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Thanks for the PM Gaz, just got back from fishing

    That's a nice set of wheels! I've run into a snag with the Scimitar - my wife isn't sure whether she likes it now. Might have to do a bit more thinking. No car photos to show you but a couple from the fishing trip - the boss and a shot in the mussel farm off Coromandel. We got 7 keeper snapper which was fine for a morning's work in beautiful weather

    Little update on the wee thing

    I bought the bits and bobs to do the top end, found someone else has been in there, cocked plenty up and the crank seals were starting to leak.

    The fuel bowls were warped to heck, so I machined them flat in the mill.

    One headgasket was in backwards

    The head was bent more than Elton John, so I sorted that too.

    Base gaskets were leaking

    The ring gaps were wrong, bores have suffered because of that and the rings are rooted from the ends butting

    So a full tear down and all the bits ordered for the bottom end now

    I found one of the crank bearings installed incorrectly with the alignment dowel broached in to the casing
    Found the remains of a thrust washer/shim in the crank case that likely fell out during last assembly and went for a wander through the gearset
    Poor little bike! Nonetheless, once I have the bearings and seals to rebuild the crank, it will be as happy as ever.

    You and me both. I've got an NS400R in at the mo for a do-over for a friend and found it has a cracked frame. So if anyone knows where I can procure one of those...

    No it's worthless. You can't fix them.


    As an aside.

    What is his number? I'll break it to him. Make his problem go away.

    I'm good like that.

    Not the only cracking sadly, but it is the only part I'm not willing to fix

    I believe NS 250R frames of the same years are identical. Check that out.

    Failing that, I have had an alloy frame repaired in Otahuhu years ago. I think they welded the BSL frame. They were around huia/station rd area.
