Lakeside Rally 2019

Just got back from the Lakeside Rally, a good time was had by all in glorius weather, It was such a nice morning on Sunday so no need to put on waterproofs for the home run, I arrived home like a drowned rat.

Re: Mini Lathe

Hi Michael.
As you intend to cut bike threads ( most are imperial ) as the machine is probably metric you should check wether you can cut these on it.
I have a Myford which can cut any threads that you can think of but is severly limited by the small spindle bore (3/8")

Re: Using solder instaed of filler

Hi Keith,
I used plumbers solder on the fuel tank of my BSA, using a large copper soldering iron you can spread the solder like butter.
more work than filler but longer lasting and feathers out well

Re: Fuel additives

If the fuel in you're tank is going stale then you are not doing enough milage to be concerned about valve seat erosion.
