Scottoiler tube is (strongest strength) araldited to my swingarm (as well as cable tied to at the delivery end. I got fed up of it coming loose and didn't like the aesthetics of cable ties on it.
Backs of mirrors were sanded down, first with coarse sand paper, then with wet and dry, before being coated in "back to black" to restore some shape and sheen to them after an off. I also did the "bolt through the rear brake" fix after snapping my rear brake. I actually had it on my bike for about 18 months without incident. 2 weeks after I changed it I chuck the bloody thing down the road and break the new one. Ironically, the bodged one was a great deal more robust and would probably have survived it. |

My car currently has a starter button as some black box refuses to acknoledge the turning of the key. However I can't lay claim to putting it in.
Old car used to have to be opened on passenger side as drivers door lock was too worn. Only fixed them after wearing out the passenger side too as getting in through the boot didn't appeal. The CG has now passed two MOTs through the judicious installation of paper towel under the dust caps just prior to the test. I have the new seals, just can't be bothered to fit them. Hmm not really proper bodges at all. Still I've typed this now so I'm posting it. Last edited by 2mths; 05-06-07 at 10:01 PM. |
