    I had a ' Super Sabre ' given to me , when I worked for a ' scrap metal company ' . Bit of a joke on me, the boss knowing I couldn't do anything with it . Fully fuelled And ARMED . It could have been flown away , that day. Those " canons " I spent day's pulling them apart . spacesailor

    Taping alloy is not good , as it binds in the tap thread's. BEST To get' HEX ' BAR ,then you don't have ' galvanic problems. spacesailor Oops read that last post after I hit send . Make them all alloy .

    Let me look again ! . To buy & build a Hangar-Home $ 150,000 ., ( someone said ). A brand new Aeroprakt Vixxen , ?. ( I will have to let someone fill that price in ) . But less than $ 250,000 . ( I hope ). How much to get it delivered ? $ 95,350 ! Seems awfully steep . So , only half a $ million , I would still feel like a millionaire. spacesailor PS the wife would have something to say about the house !. LoL

    The ' brain hitting the skull , was what dr's have said , would happen a over 80 mph bikes hitting a wall. Or 40 mph in a heading smash , against a 40 mph vehicle. But the mashed brain greymatter will be contained. All those years ago ! . spacesailor

    So go buy a m22 tap set. Drill your correct hole in the thickness required, in a piece of metal, cut the HEX shape, then make your 1.5 tpi . oops I said " per inch " . Anyway get the correct tap to suit your job . And hay presto ! , that next job gets easier. Now I just had to get my neighbour out of strife . He brought a packet of rivets, but alast too short. In my box they're all LONG . WHY . I just knock out the mandrel & saw the rivet to the length required. He had Never seen anything so simple ever.. spacesailor

    Surprisingly, newer car's, seem to be prone to multiple problems. My neighbours CX7 and his brother same model car , have had $ thousands spent trying to find " engine warning light " ON problems. Just google the dozens of people trying to fix their faults. ' spark-plugs- coils-O2 sensor's ( two )-fuels-caps- catalytic converter ,' the list of parts that the mechanic's replaced is endless . This problem ' damaged battery terminal ' that gave intermittent fault signals. I hope they ( the neighbour's ) are HAPPY with the " backyard " mechanic two, hour repair job !. LoL PS ' I do have a " engine diagnosis tool '' . spacesailor

    Why don't you cut a standard nut to your ' thickness ' requirement . I OFTEN CUT " NEEDED " PARTS WITH MY TRUST'Y HACKSAW ,. ( even sparkplugs, for one way valves ) . spacesailor

    Our friends son ' resides ' in Winstonhills .! I sad resides , as a quadriplegic Exmotorcyclist . His helmet stopped his Death ! . But He has NO LIFE . Before it was compulsory. Medical practitioners said. And I quote. " even if there is no reduction in deaths , we won't have to clean the grey matter off the road " . That from the top doctors, was enough to put me off helmets for the rest of my life . I have spent my childhood in hospitals & a few years with a wheelchair! . SO, !. I would prefer Not to spend any more time on my back . spacesailor

    Your rights ! . When it became compulsory to wear a ' crash. ' helmet , I decided to give up motorcycling . Over fifty years later , I had a wonderful ride With a ' Full face helmet' that was claustrophobic. But it was , my last ride of my life . Until I can Feel the wind on my face . spacesailor
