    Gotta earn the theft by wading through 300 pages of waffle.
    Hear, hair to that sentiment, no pain no gain I guess, and it make the idea stealing that bit more satisfying...

    Do you know the measurements off the top of your head for the alternator bracket you made when you first did your bike carb conversion?
    As you know just ordered my carbs so wanting to get as much as I can ready for when they turn up

    After the distance between the centres of the Rose joints and what size rose joints if you know mate.
    cheers

    It was a 110-140mm turnbuckle from McGill. The piece itself ended up 42mm long and probably cut down RJs but can't remember what belt that was with.

    Brakes seem to be working OK, biased most of the way to the front mind. I went for a blast yesterday with my mate in his Nissan 350Z, so have some unnecessary pic whoring. Courtesy of him for the pics!

    I've already told him he just needs to press the pedal harder and eventually it'll stop.

    It's stopping well now. Part of it was getting used to the linear braking effort vs power compared to a servo assist.

    It's the fact I've got the bias all the way forward, seems a bit pointless having an adjuster! I could try a larger cylinder again on the rear, I think they do a 0.8-something.
