Love the rev counter

How much was the exhaust dude as its what im getting when funds allow

A bargain at £89

That is for the small flange though not the big un

By the way, that tacho is V Cool!!!!

Fu#k that rev counter is god damn awesome, i wish i had it of him for the £5 he offered it to me but the fact that he said it doesn't and will never work again cos he nicked all the inside changed my mind


















Only joking..



If i'm back from Newquay early enough on monday then i'll give you a buzz and pop up for a laugh

OK stated to take the old exhaust off today, well, most of it fell to bits to be honest but I cant seem to get the heat exchangers off, how do you ge to the top nut? Do you have to drop the motor? Ant advice gratefully recieved as I am stuck

If I do have to pull the motor I might as well finish the other motor first to save me the work

looking good moupster

that rev counter is soooo cool mate!

Oooh I want that rev counter, me love long time!

Dude, the exhaust nuts should un-do with a ring spanner....your not trying enough...............forget the last bit ,you are very tring!!

Most of the exhaust nuts were 12mm, but a few of them are 13mm, this makes them too close to the actual pipe to get a ring spanner on them, which is why I gave up and am now going to build the other engine first and just nail it in

How is the progress going Harv???

coooey.. Harvey..... you there? .....

Harv was i right in seeing you with a herbie stripe helmet on earlier was cool

Yep, that was me on my other beastie

I love cruising round on the Lambretta, it makes me smile..............



..........unlike my usless car!!

Right, I sold the Merc yesterday so I have a few pounds to spend on the motor, I have just ordered new barrels and pistons, bigend shells, all the new coggy bits to go on the crank and some caburys buttons...... er no.... wait a minute.......thats not right.......ah yes!

teflon buttons that what I ordered

So as soon as this lot arrives it is nail bob together in a hurry time

Give us a shout if you need a hand dude...........
What size barrels have you gone for dude??

Just baby 1641s for this motor, it is the original bob motor that is getting the tweaking..................




........unless this bay turns out to be a good un and then bob might have to go

Bugger me..

No not on Harveys thread...

You sold the Merc how much did you pay them..


Glad you can stop just collecting part and finally get them on with Bob now dude..

Still collecting at the minute, but soon the time will come whenI shall start to piece this engine back together.....mooowaahahahaha!!!!

Better take a lie down now, as I am feeling a little queer.... easy Carl, not you mate!

OK I need to pop over and see nomates as I the crank needs heat to get the coggy bits off so I can put the new coggy bits in

Once I have done this I can actually start putting it together

sounds like you are making good progress mate, good on ya!

Ok I got bloody angry today, bob is sat there on the drive, my missus wants her car back, it is peeing down with rain and i cannot find the time or enthusiasm to completely rebuild an engine so.........

Nah!


Do I buy a gallon of unleaded and a box of matches?????

Nah!


Or do I buy this??????
