Always Unsafe Designs Implemented?

*ducks*

 

Only 25 years ago?that's awesome, you did eventually find it.
Good morning friends
I hastily looked through the Service Manual for my quad and several easy to follow steps to check everything electrical. The bad or pucker factor part of it is having to remove the rear fenders. No, not a terrible bad job but I've got so much to do all the time. Need to clone myself like that movie. Except stop before the guy who likes pizza.

 

I'm sure the design was ok originally. It's when a kid or young man that watched fast and furious one too many times, decides they want to be a tuner, Ricky racer and they haven't a clue nor mechanical ability.
My son bought first one then another 2000 TT quattro. I advised him strongly not to. It has been exactly as I told him. Can't drive it anywhere because it breaks down constantly.

 

Good morning House of Shane!

 

Not usually. They almost always have a slotted drive and are mainly just for looks.

Those aren't cheese head screws. From da interwebs

Also, I figured cheese head and fillister are the same...apparently not.



@tacotoe

Exactly.

 

When I was in school a friend had a Fiat X1/9 which was much like a Pontiac Fiero except much earlier and even less reliable.

It was a father & son project car and boy did they work on it, even though it was fairly new it broke down, fell apart and rusted away as quick as they could fix it.

Lime green X1/9 for Shane.

That’s what I found, was that the cheese head was regarded to having a deep slot for positive engagement. (And a cheese wheel appearance)

 

Another interesting shipping event, last one was that my shocks came from the small town I had just visited, now this package (new composite toe Timberlands) is currently in Shane’s town!

 

Nearly had one of our band saws detonate today. Still early in the day, so it may happen yet with another one.

 

Oh, shit. Is that on the weld?

 

WTF?

 

That would have woken folks up!

 

It's on a weld where it had cracked before and was repaired. We counted five such repairs on that band and three were starting to crack again. That one was the nail in the coffin though.

 

Kernersville is a hub, so it more than likely is going strait down to the Orlando hub and be delivered to you

 

Kind of specialized for an 'only mill'.... but if I already had a nice combination unit, that would be a great addition; price seems reasonable too.

 

Cuts in both directions or reversible blade?

 

Wtf?! Don't those generally have to be scrapped when they break the first time?!

 

Exactly what I need for a motorcycle steering stem replacement!
