Good evening all Been at it again and IF I am lucky I might have the two sections bonded together in the very near future After sanding back the rebate in the top of the mould and making sure that the filter sits in nicely I drew a line around the rebate base and trimmed that back to make neat flang...

Hi Chris I have a Sealey 180 set up here at home and it is a great bit of kit and I especially like the gun as the trigger is built into the handle. A buddy of mine has a Cebora which is also a great bit of kit but the trigger is pooh and very flimsy Both Lincoln and Miller do dual purpose ie mig an...

Well, been at it again and have made some more progress with this project of mine. After losing the window for post curing on both sections it was decided that as it has been really quite warm down here that it would be okay to pop the top section out and see what it looked like. So after cutting ou...

Hi John Am fine honestly and have not been stopped by it at all Really keen to get on with my filter project but have to wait for the cure to do its stuff All but out of time for the post curing but am still going to try and do it before beyond practical Work has to take priority as always and it's ...

Hi Gary Whilst I dont know of a formula ( and there must be one somewhere ) on how to work out your intake diameter I am currently making a new air intake system for my motor My engine is a fair bit bigger in CC than yours but I am using two 3" diameter intake tubes with cone shaped K&N filters at t...

It's a bog seat for Warick Davies Perry and I was so sorry to hear of your trauma with regard to the fried potato chips as that must have given you a very slight and extremely unremarkable discomfort in the digitalis To a much more sensible person ie Steve the shape lends itself quite well for glass...

Evening All Well I managed to get the gelling done and shock horror have got the glassing done as well. Here's tonight's efforts It was always going to be tricky getting the glass to flow down the sharp edge of the filter rebate. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w397/grpservicesplymouth/ais107_zp...

The nurse at Torbay hospital said to me that I was lucky too The cut was really deep but a fraction more and it would have been through tendons and all other kinds of stuff in that area What is really weird is that I have had no pain at all just a bit of stinging although as always when you do yours...

Hi All Finally got a bit more time to work on my little project again tonight but I do have a really really good excuse this time (apart from bloody boats ) I had a cutting disc jam shatter and the kick the disc grinder out of my hand which proceeded in a graceful arc right down the side of my right...

Hi all Have the opportunity to buy a set of weld alloy wheels for stupid cheap price as at billing fun run and a guy is selling a set of four virtually brand new wheels They have a 3/12 inch back spacing and am wondering if they wil fit a scimitar hub without fouling any suspension components Any he...

John Steve and anyone else who is interested. Getting laminate into the corners or to follow tight radii can be a bit of a mare but you can do it. For tight corners you can always use a fillet of bodyfiller with a slow hardner mix and let that into the tight areas and make a nice curve from top to b...

Ok mate
I obviously misunderstood what you were saying earlier
Please put up some pics so I can see what you are trying to do and if there is an easy way of sorting it out I will try to help
