It is with huge delight that I can announce that Martin Wyllie and Pilot Air (www.pilotair.com.au) can generously continued their support of the Scrapheap Adventure Ride by donating $5,000.00 toward this year’s event.
If anyone is in need of a new Air Compressor please contact these guys!!!!
Thanks Martin
Any Scrappers got any progress pics ???
Im waiting for the seat to be recovered and them Im ready for the shakedown rides :woohoo:
Here is the oil cooler ready for the oil lines to be attached :blink:
Now before anyone gets to annoyed it is ‘Designed’ to catch some air :silly:
She’s certainly got a wild paint job Pezz!
Work on the NX has begun in earnest, last night tried working out how the luggage system is gunna go on and hopefully stay on. Has anyone got an old Gearsak rear rack kicking about???
Spent a few bucks on the NX today and got a screen made up for her. I heard it gets cold down that way. This is the prototype screen. I will give her a test run before we leave. $40 at the local plastics place. I just made a template out of a beer carton and they did a great job copying it..

Tweak it for sure
Preliminary job looks the goods though Mick ,,,I mounted a Kato Hardparts screen to mine last week, it has a kick in the top as well for that little bit extra deflection of the air :whistle:
Test rides are always a great excuse to get out too
my design allowed for the top 3 inches to be tweaked if necessary.
Just the last inch or even half inch Mick, any more isnt needed and will put to much pressure on the mounting screws I reckon

I know this may sound silly but try and get some plastic, yes plastic screws. If you use plastic screws, when you go over the hangers or hit the screen and it does happen you dont smash the new screen, the fairing its mounted to and cut your throat :laugh:
The teneres use plastic screws, yes I said plastic
I have some spares I maybe able to give you they look the same size from memory
