  1. It's all about the product. And her learning her place.
  2. I figured that. Find a large bottle brush...you may have to hit a local home brew shop. Should have flexible braided metal handle. Jam it up the main jet from the bowl side and see if you pull out some nasty.
  3. You really put the 'anus' in 'janus'.
  4. Possible. Easy way to test: fill 5 gal bucket and dump it into terlette. If it flushes properly the drains are not the issue.
  5. Hit me up later, I might come put a few beers in your fridge.
  6. Sounds like my apprenticeship. Came up through small job, tool & die and mold making shops. Had to cobble together some pretty interesting fixtures etc on Bridgeport and devlieg mills....good times. Then I went to the big league aerospace job where it was all setup, prove the program and run....then I bid out of my machining job to learn the overhaul mechanic job because it was safer due to the outsourcing happening.
  7. Ok, if you can swing 16" without mashing it then more power to ya. Seems like he wants things done with the least amount of TIR, so a 3 jaw isn't gonna cut it. The odds of the surface he wants machined being true to the OD of the wheel are pretty low Imho. I'd indicate the bore closest to where the work is being performed and just G02 the fucker and be done with it.
  8. Sounds like there are frosty adult beverages in your future tonight..
  9. Are you a machinist? This job would be a nightmare on a lathe. Exactly where would you chuck it? ID chuck the cush drive bore? Good luck indicating it true. Unless you have a monster lathe that can chuck 16 inches OD or however big this wheel is you're gonna have a hell of a time holding it, and even then you still have to indicate it true in both x and z axis AND not crush/otherwise Marr the bead surface of the rim. I guess if you had a lathe dog you could drive it by one of the spokes, but who even has one of those anymore? And you'd still have to find a live and dead center big enough to register the bearing bore without getting in the way of your tooling.
  10. Because if you have a broader appeal you'll lose some of the hard core members but get more money in the long run, and that's what it's all about: money and power.
  11. Yeah its all part of trying to one-up science. If you can't beat em, join em and then. Say you're God is responsible.
  12. Love these guys... Regular Car Reviews: Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa:
  13. Find 3 other midgets and rent a dresser.
  14. Check to see if your tank is filling completely and your flapper is opening all the way. Next would be the holes up inside the rim, they can clog with mildew and mineral deposits and are usually responsible for a slow flushing shitter.
  15. No point in relaying then just wire in parallel with turn signals.
  16. It's more like a wax but softer. Room temp it's a solid waxy consistency. I use the back of my thumb nail to dig some out, then put it on the palm of myour opposite hand and rub them together. As it melts it becomes more like a cream and then an oil.
  17. This stuff is hand made in small batches in northeast ohio by a former marine with a family.
  18. Best way I can think of to do it would be to use 3 ground blocks or 1 large ass dowel to register on a machined face on the opposite side and t-clamp it down through the small gaps in the spoke type area. Here's my big question....are we looking at wwhere drum brake will go? If so, then won't the lettering you want to machine off be covered once the bike is assembled? If that is inside the drum then I'd take the cush drive out of the other side and register on that with above mentioned ground blocks....1 2 3 blocks might be a good choice. Much easier than indicating 2 axis on a lathe with a 4 jaw.
  19. You can find the thickness without cutting the wheel up. Of course if the wheel is already trash you'd only be wasting $45 or so for shop time.
  20. Once the piece is indicated in on the rotary table the center will be just as true.
  21. First post of this thread contains a link to an etsy page that sells the stuff I use. There are also other vendors on ebay amazon etc...
