this was just overhearing what the people in front of me were talking about (they kept asking the same questions :/) so dont hold me to it but i think building permits are in the region of 2 years :)...

handsomes!

ive got a bench lathe and having fun making lots of stuff with that, but there have been quite a few things ive wanted to make but couldnt without a mill. a long project ive been...

all it needs now is a GT0.00000000000000000000000035R to hang off one end

might be a bit laggy though, probably better to go for twins

CT0.00000000000000000000000012A's should do it

depends what sort of car you like i guess, roadsters are awesome fun but difficult to get past engineers when they've got big engines, specially nowadays. pre ADR commercial are still easy with the...

a pic of what you're trying to figure out will help cure some of the confusion ive got at the mo. you're not making a lot of sense. least to me anyway, but i'm simple at the best of times

like i...

sorry mate i'm not familiar with what you have in front of you there so i cant be a lot of help without a little more info

mine looks almost identical to yours, all it had underneath it was two...

if you mean bolting it to a bench, i think i just used the biggest bolt i could fit inside the holes

14mm or 9/16 or something i cant remember now

found the problem to be a dodgy motor

pulled it apart to find nothing untoward other than a circlip holding the bearing on the center shaft a bit bent, so replaced both the bearing (which was...

messed about with the compressor, was half hoping there'd be at least SOME carnage inside so id at least know...

just did so china, most of it was still apart anywho

nothing jammed as such, there was slight resistance over say a third of a turn (hardly precise :D just a 'feel' as it were) but other than that...

there are a few mower/small engine mechanics around where i live. i didnt think to go to them for help with a compressor. im friendly with a well equipped engine rebuilder place near me too so...

ive pulled it all apart today to suss what china meant :)

thanks for the suggestions chaps :)
