NOT THE WAY I MAKEM - There ya go marra FTFY, Looking at that lot marra there gan naewhere, weld heat aint ganna move them till fixed
ALL BIKES should come with a centre stand Dunno if I could lift this bugger though Wanted the bike upright so it’s easier to work on Old pair of axle stands will do the job
Come on Dilli, should be easy enough. I’m sure the BIG BMW’s have some sort of power assisted centre stand, I saw one in operation whilst in Peel IOM. Now I’m sure that if Jerry can make one work then the best of British can.
@dilligaf come on mate we don’t have to get Herr @littleade and the Camp Kommandant @Winglad on the case do we
In German, a center-stand is called ‚Mittelständer‘, while a ‚Ständer‘ is also a hard-on. So, the latter is hydraulically operated, right? Let the Thommies take over from here, don’t you agree, Herr @littleade ?
I’ve started welding It’s solid Ok I know the welds look shite But I’m happy with it so far Wor lass is complaining about the cold because I’ve got the back door open for access to a plug socket and she’s at work don’t you know Gonna attack it with my angle grinder and see how what I’ve done so far cleans up
Only two settings mate High and low I’ve got it on low as parts of this are a bit thin and I don’t want to blow holes in it So far I’m very pleased with how it’s going My plug welds have worked and where I’ve removed bolts I’ve managed to fill the empty holes up without chasing a blow hole The welds I’ve done so far have dressed up nicely with my trusty angle grinder
Have another practice on high and move the torch more quickly you need the heat to penetrate through to the back
@dilligaf, Looking at your earlier tidy garage pictures it looked like your main fuse/consumer board was in the garage ? if it is its very easy to run some garage sockets direct from it, thus keeping back door shut and wife happy at the same time.
Just had another look at your previous thread pictures regards electric consumer box, looks a good age is that still Fuse wire or cartridge fuse ? Have you another in the house itself ?
