Fifty shades of Jade

[mygasser]

I would check with the Scruitineers, there is a fair chance they will tell you to Bananarama! off...

i'd say you'd have more chance of getting just a camera and on board screen past them for sure.

All parts out the wheelie bin and washed with fairy liquid and then into a bucket of thinner.

The head is pretty coked up so left soaked in thinners all night.

[autofetish]

24hr in paint thinners didn’t really seem to do much.

So going for a 24hrs boil.

If you wondering why the coffe taste funny at the local village church fate is was all for the racing cause and it’s good for you

The bane of my life has become front tyre selection.

The bike currently runs a small 10inch Avon soft race slick which was originally designed for the Tyrrell P34

Unfortunately this is only rated at 100ish MPH


The tyre did 6 x 2mile at the last meet and looks like it has done 30,000miles

[autofetish]

Aircraft tyres seem to be the logical way to go long term.

Unfortunately most leisure / light aircraft have very low landing speeds 40-60mph

Jets landing on aircraft carriers is where the tyres start being rated up to 250mph but after a phone call from a very upset Goodyear European head of sales.

Who is the end user for this tyre this is a military grade F15 tyre with an end user statements required

(it’s for me and my motor bike fella )


While there is lots of spec online there is very little information about the tread design (flat top car style or rounded bike tyre)


Weeks of excel spread sheets is narrowing the list down.

A trip to Costford RAF museum to see if we can find anything that is about the right size !

Drop your casings at Red Dragon vapour blasters in Rhosllanerchrugog mate. You won't get a better finish on ally castings
