Not a lot happening this weekend. Weather warnings of the "stay in you're homes" type are on due to very heavy rain and possible flooding.
Being in the steel roofed garage is like being in a drum.
Too cold to paint but at least I can prep and mask a few bits.
Parts from David Silvers have been in NZ for nearly 2 weeks now but when I rang UPS (after the best part of half hour on hold) all I got was "errr, errr, not really sure, err".
I'd also ordered tungsten burs and other bits for the dremel from a place in town but they've sent the wrong size so - can't do the ports.
A tad frustrated today.

If there is another batch of adapter plates being made I'll definitely purchase another one, just bought a non-running NC35 that'll be my next project towards the end of the year.
:plus: if Mike (of G-Force) produces another batch of these generator conversion kit I'll take one kit and put my name on the order list. I would like to fit one of these conversion kits on my NC35 project bike. Mail sent to Mike. :pray:

We're not far off five now.
I'm just waiting for Mike to get back to me with a few details. IE, What comes with the kit and what's required to fit it.
Cheers,

Per your grand requests, I will make arrangements to make another batch. It may take a little time to get this rolling as life has become crazy busy at work for me. Her's the old post for reference. I will update that post with pics and kit contents details this weekend. Simply, the kit is the adaptor, some screws and some spacers. No Stator or Rotor parts.

No problem Brooky,
It's bloody slow going at the moment. Tapped out with work so not much time for the build at the moment.
The new material came on Monday but is 0.6mm instead of the required 0.5mm.
I've sent it back but in NZ nothing ever happens quickly. It took me over a week to get one can of gold heat resistant paint for the callipers and discs, which are now done.
Still no sign of my bits from David Silvers after nearly 3 weeks. Goodridge hoses came from the UK in 3 working days!
Ain't you off to the IOM soon Brooky? Don't worry if you don't get the gold matched before you go. I'm weeks away yet mate.
Cheers,

Mike,
To confirm orders for this, do you want to post a finalised price, payment details, deposit requirements etc?
I'm more than happy to pay in advance if you prefer.
You might want to post in the For Sale/Wanted to see if you get some more orders.
Cheers,
Duncan

This weekend I will post details. I am not clear oin if this should go in FS/W section. I do these at cost to provide you guys with parts. I don't make money on the parts. Does that qualify as "For Sale" or "Offering"? :?
