Turning an AX100 into a bucket

[Trudes]

*cackle* yeah!

. . . . and you could probably fit a connector to the coil if you have the same hickery 'slide a pin into a socket' arrangement as Pamela.

"Oh but it should have some tape on it" You Muppet

No, I did mine properly. I wasn't sure how fast Trudes was gonna be so I crippled hers. Shame it took so long to fuck out...

Actually I'm sure it did have tape on it when it was built.

What? did you twist the wires together

[Skunk]

Ssshhh you. That trick is 'patent pending'...

[Kendog]

Tape is the key cause it's hard to cable tie wires together.

That blue masking tape painters use is the best

Did a little maintenance on the AX1R over the weekend. Sketchy had ridden the bike at the last meeting and pointed out that the preload and rebound needed increasing. While I was dealing to that we checked the rear wheel movement out and he pointed out the flex in the swingarm.

The swingarm is now braced. The rear end should be less vague now.

Stop improving that farken bike, as it is I can't get past you I don't need it going any faster!

You corner better.

Do some measuring and we'll make a chamber for yours.

Make a chamber? How did the computer designed chamber experiments go skunk? Is that the one you chucked on the ax?

Very well, eventually. First one was crap. Second one is a beauty. Helps when you build it to the specs too.

How much steel does it take, was talking to the old man last night and he might have some lying around that I could have. Problem is if it's to big I won't be able to get it from Masterton to here.

I've used 0.6mm steel. How much depends on the chamber shape and size.
Size required is generally 1.2 metres by the header curve+200mm roughly.

Make sense? Thought not. I have some steel here thanks to Sully60.

1/2" boiler plate should be fine & you won't have to keep repairing it if you crash into, say, one of those pesky containers out the front of the slipway
. . . Might have to strain a bit to bend it, but if it's worth doing. . .

Thanks for the tip Dave. That'll help with getting a low CG too won't it? I think the TZR chamber I had was made of 1/4" plate...
