  1. hey guys, been a while since i've been on here but i need some assistance with a little project of mine.

    the project is a secret i'm afraid ;)

    i'm kinda wishing i hadnt got rid of my old ezstart, would have been handy but basically i need to know a few measurements:

    diameter+length of the shaft from the engine

    the dimensions+size of the bolt holes

    and if possible, how much space there is from the centre of the glow plug to the edge of the motor [ie the clearance for the cooling head]

    any help would be greatly appreciated.

  2. been a while since i've been on here. so here goes.

    currently been working on a project, 'tis a secret, but it involves belts and pulleys and could do with some advice.

    basically i need to know the sizings of the following pulley sizes: inner diameter, maximum outer diamater, maximum thickness.

    32t

    16t

    8t [if they even exist]

    i'm afraid that pulleys are an area of rc i've never dealt with before, so i have no idea if they are of a standard size or manufacturer specific, provided they'll run the same belt i'm not fussed.

    any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

  3. not as bad as kryten somehow looking older, not only is it not in character, but its lot like it should be difficult to do :lol:

    big fan of rd myself, got series 1-8 and back to earth, refusing to watch back to earth till i get the one i missed in between :lol:

  4. He probably does a lot less miles than you though, thus has less emissions over the year.

    The only real fair road tax would be if it was abolished and put on the pumps, then the more miles you do and fuel you use, the more tax you pay. Simples.

    but we already have insane tax at the pumps, that would just make things worse.....

  5. I love the press release from his family :

    "The next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink,"

    shame the moon is hiding from me tonight, but for the rest of tonight i shall be raising my glass to a truly historic name, a legend in his own lifetime, and proof of what humanity can acheive when we really put our minds to it.

  6. sorry, what? a car, regardless of its use on the road, remains YOUR posession, in the same way as your legs are, its like telling someone they cant walk down the street with shoes on because 'its a modification to the original manufacture of your feet'.

    mate of mine had a discovery 2.5tdi, he got it ecu chipped for more torque, power and as a side effect he also got an extra 5mpg out of it and less emissions. goverment tryin to tell us that is a bad thing?

  7. news going around, supposedly he had heart troubles, and now at the age of 82 he is dead :(

    i'm sure i dont need to say how the world has lost a great man, the likes of which i doubt we will see again for quite a while. details have not come out yet, but i hope he went gracefully content in his accomplishments.

    consolations to his family, freinds and colleagues. may he rest in peace :closedeyes:
