Scooterotica

Something,anything that makes carrying two stroke oil easier than trying to ram a bottle or two into a standard lammy toolbox or under the seat, covering eveything in sticky shite. Maybe a bracket affair for a sprint rack or elsewhere either for a regular fullsize bottle or smaller 'shots' for two and a half litres of fuel etc. Fed up with oiled up bungees and spare wheel covers. I know Supertune sold a legsheild mounted bracket a while ago but these are only good if you don't have spare wheel mounted there.

Wasn't there someone from Portsmouth in Scootering who designed an 'under the seat' setup two or three months ago

its called a legshield toolbox

As I said ' standard lammy toolbox' hence the issue. As far as the contraption featured in Scootering recently I bet we don't see too many of those around, it's clever but kinda uses a hammer to open a nut methinks.

I just bought an Ammo Box from Ebay to bolt to the sprint rack to solve this problem...

Ok David, see what you think. I only lack one suitable drift for my engine rebuilds. Maybe you can suggest one or maybe you could make one . It is the drift for bearing 6004. The Gearcluster bearing that goes on the endplate. I have to drift that using a socket, which is quite a bitch. Do you think you could make an iron drift?

All the best,

Jaime

This would be a good tool... Make one that works for putting it back in as well and I will buy one off you... At the moment I do as Supereibar says and use a socket to remove the bearing then press a new one in using a vice with a block of wood and an old bearing ground down (outer track) to push it back in... A tool that could extract and re fit the bearing would be good...

this i made 18 months ago for the main bearing (cant find the one i did for the 6004 bearing but same principle)

use the collar on the drift to take out the bearing via the inner track, the drift is proud of bearing cover by the collar thickness, (would do the collar next time with a centre like the drift to locate inside the inner track)

remove collar to put bearing back in

drift only rests on the outer track when installing (hard to see undercuts in photo), it locates in the bearing centre without putting force on the bearing inner track

made the top a sacrifice piece if ever wanted to use a big hammer, then discovered heat, so they just pop in now

sure R Presley could do something

any comments, i know its basic but it was almost the first thing i did on the lathe, it does work and fits nicely in the hand

would be very easy to do a removal drift that located within the inner tracks of the main and endplate bearing on the basis that they needed replacing anyway

Oh my goodness! david I did that just six months ago with the machine shop round the corner of my house! Cost me 30 euros, however my drift is much more simpler than that. Well you can see it here next to my fork compressor tool:


In order to fit the 6004 bearing I use this block of wood that works wonders and is really easy to make with a chisel:
