    Yeah, Well at first I thought “Geez Strucky your getting in early” !!!!
    But,
    Damn it, it`s closer than I had hoped (I hate the rushfest that is the leadup to XMAS) :S :unsure: :angry:

    So, A Very Merry Xmas to all OLD BULLS and their families ;)
    There are far too many good friends I have made to name, and so many more I am yet to meet :whistle:

    Cheers All

    Hell Yeah,
    And a percentage of any $$$ raised for charity could be used to run our site too I think :whistle:
    Afterall, without the site, the rides that raise the coin for the charities wouldn`t be run in the first place ,,,

    I will be donating to the cause after Xmas anyway ;)
    Cheers

    I can`t take any credit for this one mate,,,,
    But I do like the fact of being able to share the tips with others on here ;)

    Like my tank anchor tip, now Twobanger is gonna have a go at two spinners in a Husky tank :whistle: :)

    Same principal should work on a variety of late models bikes with plastic tanks, there are heaps now with plastic tanks that have fasteners for all sorts of things like shrouds etc etc , and if not treated carefully they can strip out, seize up or like mine, spin freely in the tank :whistle:

    No wuckees mate,,,

    Just be careful and take little bits of plastic at a time, working up to a diameter that enables the anchor to be popped out.
    Too much too quick & you might hole the tank (which is what I was worried about for some time, hence taking 5 months to work up to doing the job) :laugh:

    But the tank is really tough (they have to be I suppose) ;)

    Cheers & Good Luck

    Ok, So decided to stick the old anchor back in as mentioned in a previous post,,,
    Here it is prepped with an 8mm Nutsert wound down to the top of it, this ensured I had clearance around the threaded hole from the Epoxy after it sets.

    [attachment=3052]2011-12-0915.37.56.jpg[/attachment]

    Then to apply enough Epoxy into the cleaned out hole, hoping for squeeze out when I pop the anchor in,

    [attachment=3053]2011-12-0915.39.29.jpg[/attachment]

    Applied a smear to the anchor as well and knocked it back in place (had to use a light tap of a hammer for this) ;)

    Epoxy squeeze out, just how I wanted it too

    [attachment=3054]2011-12-0915.45.09.jpg[/attachment]

    Then clean up around the top & wait for the curing process

    Bolts in to assist in lining it up right (it was actually exactly in the old spot due to the moulded marks in the tank) :)

    [attachment=3055]2011-12-0915.46.22.jpg[/attachment]

    So far a great success. Some guys may baulk at attempting the job (that`s why I am posting it here)
    A lot better than buying a new tank or going without a bolt to rely on,,,, :whistle:

    You mods do a great job, I have always said that. It is a tough job that will never please everyone, you guys know you can do whatever you feel is right and will be supported. The correct thing to do last night if you were watching was not mod this thread BUT RING ME AND TELL ME TO GO HOME!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Honestly to meet Sal’s for the first time on Thursday when he arrived and then get on the cans last night was awesome, funny night.

    As for Chris getting shot thru the finger well it wasn’t my fault, he was holding the safety and I said that’s the wrong side to hold it, he said it’s his nail gun, he knows nail guns now pull the trigger, so I did :laugh: :laugh:

    And Aido I should have rang you you would have been up :laugh: Chicken was up when I rang him at umm sometime but he wouldn’t drive the 2hrs down here to run us to Blaxland for pizza :P And as for Sal, well let’s says it’s her brother 40th party today and I was told to have him home early :huh: Now she says 4am isn’t early ? When we leave to drive to Brisbane 4am was early? Bloody hell I can’t win :cheer: :whistle: :laugh:

    TB

    That`d be the best nail gun he has ever owned, he really loves that nail gun :laugh:

    As for 4am,, yeah that is early I reckon (unless you are trying to tell the missus, in which case you will never win) :silly:

    What`s with go the Penrith Tribal tat on good old bro`s forehead ???? :unsure: :whistle:
    Strange blokes you are down there ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :)

    I also don’t wish to put my name to this post for fear of reprisal.
