Re: Sheared off header studs

Do you have, or have access to a mig welder? Just thinking about welding a nut on the remnants of the stud and gentle ease it back and forth - the welding also dumps a load of heat into the stud which helps ๐Ÿคž

Very best of luck anyway ๐Ÿ‘

Re: Small automatic car, anyone?

Not necessarily the young person's choice but I can highly recommend the old K11 Micra CVT - there's a very good reason the K11 still being used by takeaway delivery drivers.

If you can find the 1.3 litre, so much the better.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Fitted an Electrex World Regulator Rectifier today. Lots of lovely cooling fins and a big dollop of thermo conducting gloop to help sink a bit more heat.

Rock solid at 14.3V at various revs ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ‘

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Finally got 'round to bolting a couple of big lumps back on as part of the 954 front end graft. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-7FLFMHj/0/4da6e8c3/L/i-7FLFMHj-L.jpg Okay, okay, I know it's a Teal 'Storm but it's not so much as going quicker (as if that's possible...!), more of not having to slow...
