Lightweight

[Guest DRC7]

A bit over the top there

[Guest gdc]

hi drc7

the over the top comment i guess is with regard to the number of bolts holding the plate down ,

the reason for that ammount of bolts is due to brain fade !

i origonaly riveted the plate to thetank dooh!!!!!!!!!

rivets leak!

and as that ammount of holes were in the tank they had to be filled with something and the self tapping bolts seemed to be the answer ,

the tank now does not leak and the sender is acurate also,

i have added a breather with non return valve and svafriendly filler.

 

regards graham

Hi Graham

I have been watching all the Lightweight posts from the first failure of Trevs car right through to this thread that you started 77 posts ago!

This is just a quick note to say that I, and am sure lots of other none Lightweight builders, take my hat off to you for your commitment and dedication to all the problems that you have encountered.

WELL DONE!!!!

This is what this forum is all about.

Power to you all and good luck.

Those bolts may vibrate loose and petrol finds a way to leak from the tiniest crack. I would suggest smothering them in petrol proof sealant to reduce chances hold them still and reduce chances of leaks.

 

Brake lights behaving like indicators is usualy down to the unit having a bad earth. (Unless you have somehow swopped the wires and the indicator is behaving like a brake light!)

cherrs nigel

thanks graham

 

 

i am still puzlled what does shamo mean should i be offended or pleased

[Guest zoomzoom]

SHAMO in Japanese means "fighter", which is what the Shamo was bred for. .

 

 

 

 

Shamo game chickens. ... The Shamo is another of the hard feathered Game breeds; the breed was developed in Japan, but its ancestors came from Siam

 

 

 

But I don't think this is what drc7 meant,

It might be slang for something like cheers or okay or something like that

 

Its just i know my Japanese

[Guest gdc]

i still dont know whether to be pleased or offended

if pleased i will sa\y thank you

if offended i will ask for an explination of why i have offended

i have never intended offence with any of my posts

however i will defend my position!

Maybe DRC7 knows his Japanese as well Marcus and he was using it as a literal translation "cheers cock"
