Re: Fifty shades of Jade

Will, these motors are used a lot in 'conventional' drag bikes and I thought they were regarded as pretty bulletproof. Obviously not though (gulp).
Are these problems common, or is there something in your design that puts more stress on them?

Re: Fifty shades of Jade

Re: CHROMING

No... But I called in there many years ago when I needed the Charger bumper rechromed. The guy said 'yes, we can do anything, at a price'. The stuff on display looked excellent but their quote was astronomic. Similar to London Chroming.

Re: Recommendations to strip paint on grained metal

There are a number of 'professional' paint strippers on ebay - but only look for ones that say 'Danger' and have a skull and crossbones on the tin. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Paint-Stripper-Gel-Removes-Paint-Varnish-Restricted-To-Professional-Use-Only-5L/113532498898?hash=item1a6f1073d2:g:i2oAAOSwxL...

Re: 74 Challenger convert lights to UK spec

I had this problem a few years back and decided to make both front and rear lights MOT compliant. So - Front - To get both white and amber bulbs into a single holder you need a dual-filament bulb with one white filament and one orange one! Yes, you can get them in LED form.
