Ideal, problem solved then :D

On mine there isnt enough room on the top of the valve before the collet for that, hence the running it upside down and up into the bucket, but obviously your setup is a little different to mine and the rs200 then.

yes think its just the type of valve used there is about 17mm above the collets

the old engine was opposite way round with the stem on the bucket and the shim went over it

Chip 07-08-2009 01:45 PM

Well with 12mm indentation now, you're laughing :D

Wish I had a kenny to randomly machine stuff like that up :cry:

no it wasn't in! since the engine was nylon mounted there is too much vibration,, needing a softer mount

Unreal how quick you manage to get on with things - i take it your not married or if you are she must be tied up under the stairs's cupboard!

Ollie. 08-08-2009 12:05 AM

Andy have you got any vids from the in car camera in the past?

Glenn_ 08-08-2009 06:37 AM

Top work mate you dont mess about.

COCHYN 08-08-2009 12:38 PM

Great work so far Andy, fair play to you ;)

Spiky 08-08-2009 12:42 PM

regarding the camera

why not do what i have done and use a solid state recorder, it records straight to a memory car, and vibrations dont affect it :D

i have bullets camera's too :)

excellent work dude :)

Alex the kid 08-08-2009 01:43 PM

Awesome to see this so far done again already.
