A new LED headlight for the Brozz as the original burned out after 5 months :( Maybe riding with high beams all the time affected it who knows..

Most likely that it will be an electrical fire.

Love the old chrome bumper MGBs. My best high school friend had one. It was a huge upgrade over my MGA but the styling wasn't as cool. The little tractor engine was simple and reliable.

My donut machine interest is more of a yummy hobby...LOL
Did your wife sell LIL Orbits?
Do you know what brand of donut mix she used, or did she make it from recipe?

New rear disc for the V-Strom.

No idea what Lil Orbits is ,she worked with Robin Hood for mixes ,and her own recipes based off of the Robin Hood stuff .I have been throwing away her papers for years ,if I find any more I will let you know .We sold the donut shop in 1989 so it’s time she let go of the crap l.o.l. .

Not with Lucas electrics and positive ground. The electricity can't ever seem to make it past the battery terminals.

I converted mine to negative Earth, and went from 6V to 12V. Worked out great once I did that.

Well, the battery could melt. I thought by 73, Morris Garage caught up with the rest of the world and went 12V neg.

My Midget was 12V positive ground. If I knew Delco alternators then, like I do now, it wouldn’t have stayed that way.

DR-You may need to get a couple of jars of Lucas Replacement Wire Smoke. It’s a thing.

The car was originally blue when my friend bought it. I will probably repaint it from the body line downward at some point to deal with the areas that are falling off bondo wise...including the flames lol

When he first got it he thought it was a Midget. Hell i thought it was one too till i started looking up parts and realized it was the larger MGB. Def going to be an experience owning this car. He does have the front bumper to it but left it off due to it looking more like a Cobra that way. I have since found out that its a popular look leaving the front bumper off.

Thankfully this is neg ground so that makes life a bit better

It is a neg ground car. I have already considered the idea of tossing on a GM alt and as mentioned before most likely replacing the fuse box with a similar size ATO fuse box if not one with more circuits for upgrades. Besides the main electrical components like the fuse box and alt what other parts are afflicted by the King of Darkness (Lucas)?

J brackets for the Ural kayak rack I’m building. I tried making them myself on my tubing bender but I majorly suck at compound angles.

bogieboy · 05-07-2021, 08:42 AM

was a few days ago, but another drone...LOL this one is what i should have gotten in the first place... it is essentially a chinese made Mavic Mini... it has a 3 axis gimbal, gps, all the fun modes, minus the obstacle avoidance, and way cheaper...LOL and it seems to get decent reviews on youtube.... considering its a sub $200 gps/3axis gimbal drone...

**cheesy** · 05-09-2021, 11:46 AM

A 4" Lazy Susan bearing.

I haven't yet found a place to mount the disk/belt sander I bought a couple weeks ago but think it's going to next to the drill press. If I mount it on the Lazy Susan bearing, I can rotate it 90* to which ever side I need and pin it in place for use.

bogieboy · 05-09-2021, 07:46 PM

$250 worth of camping stuff from Gander RV....LOL somw random pet stuff, plate holders for table wear, a screen house for the biggy areas, etc....
