got my tachometer back!
...but too absorbed in how to come up with an easy to produce lid for the favor boxes. Was trying to use a transverse dowel peg to form a sort of "cleat" that would hook up to a trench dug into the interior sides of the box with a chisel or my dremel. That lid appears on the right. But it's complicated to get everything lined up and I don't want to spend a lot of time fiddle farting with a drill.

Hey! Is this the motorcycle guy? What's with all the woodworking junk? I thought this was the street tracker blog!
ReplyDeleteHey Adam, I got the package. Now for me to send you your little party favors. Gotta get shit done around here. Thanks a million for that box full of goodies, first thing I used was one of the turn signals. I make my own custom-shortened rear signals out of the metal bits embedded in the rubber, even if it's all hardened up. A torch helps extract the hollow metal stud ;). Anyway, I had one that was all melted plus I broke one of the wires in the repeated removal of the rack for making another one. So I replicated one of my custom- shortened signals. The ones you sent looked super-good, like new. I've got a shiny, bright right rear signal now.
Where did you get the foam rubber you used on your seat? I'm going to be doing some re-foaming soon.
motorcycle guy (more accurately "broken tacho guy" since the tach that I just got back from a 2 month ordeal of servicing from the manufacturer is still nonfunctional) will be out of commission for a few more weeks. then we'll hopefully return to regular programming.
ReplyDeleteglad you got the schwag. I got the foam from mcmaster-carr. it's neoprene, quite a bit firmer than the OEM honda seat foam. glues up pretty well with contact cement, i use something called "Barge Cement". dulls the hell out of razor blades during shaping but 50 grit sandpaper works pretty well for smoothing...
