    Radiator repair

    Hey there guys. I've been a bit absent, doing field work on pre-industrial olive oil sites. Came back yesterday. I've got a couple of leaks around the top of the radiator's "head", on a top edge, not the core. One is like a small pinhole. The other is a small 6mm crack on that edge. How have you...

    1 barrel air cleaner build

    Guys, after looking for the available options to ditch my 2,5Kg leaking oil bath cleaner, I ended up deciding to build my own and try it out.

    Speedo swap

    OK guys, Mr. Ronald Hoult (raceron) did it again. After sending me a headlight bevel for shipment only after my accident, he did the same thing for a speedo that I need. Mine is busted, making all sort of cluncking noises and with the indicator needle hanging loose, so he generously threw in...

After a 5 min warmup I took her out of the driveway and noticed again that I had a brake problem. Parked it. I notice...
