chas
It clearly needs nails, or why else would you have a claw hammer in 3 photos?
-
Hi Chas,
why are the wheels reversed? This shouldn't stop it from running. just stop it from stopping. ;)
-
Hi Ray the hammer was a red herring
-
Well done Karl both where put on wrong but if you don't know it's easy done
Did you find the small items .i was not sure what they where as they where that small will they work as you want them to if you can find them
Chas
-
Hi Chas,
those minute things, that is if they are realy there, are thermistors.
In the past. on many occasions, I've had to check soldering under the microscope, but this will be the first time ever that I have to solder under a microscope. :o :o But before I do anything I have to cook them. ;);D
Cheers.
Karl.
P.S. did you not receive my last email, as I've received no reply?
-
Hi Karl yes I did but sorry that I have not replied to you .will do in the Morning
All the best Chas ps good look with the soldering....and let me know how you get on
-
Hi Chas,
it'll be some time before I get round to the thermistors, I'll be busy modding all my CBs for more reliability, uprated power supply transistor, heatsinks, etc.
-
Did a little more on the chassis ....Can anyone spot the mistake ??????????

Hi Chas,
nifty tool you have there, must save a lot of fiddling and cursing. :D :D
Pitty for the four or five motors that I have to service and mod, it would be too much work to reproduce one. :(
Never mind.
Av phun.
Karl.
-
Hi Karl I can send you one to use if you like just let me know Chas
-
Hi Chas,
many thanks for the offer, but if I accepted it would be gone for a long time.
Due to lack of space I can only work on one C5 at a time, and it's taking me one hell of a lot of time searching for and buying materials etc. For example, remember how long ago it was when we spoke about the pedal crank wheel, well it's taken me up till last week to come up with one that I might be able to use. It's not the first one I've found, just the most suitable.
Once more, many thanks for, yet again, being helpful.
Best regards.
Karl.

Hi Karl I do have more than one removal tool so the offer still stands
Bye Chas

Here is the other one that I made And as you can see I've used it a few time and it needs cleaning ..

Hi Chas,
sorry for the delay in my reply, but yesterday appeared to be Zombie day. I had a severe case of an alcohol free hangover, I can only put it down to too little sleep, I was in a dozy state the whole day. I was also afraid I'd post a whole lot of rubbish, or something stupid. Nett result was I hit the sack early and slept for over 12 hours.
I'd like to take up your kind offer, that is if it's no skin of your nose. :D But I must point out that it might not be returned till near the end of the year.
Looking at the construction of your tool reminds me of 'mater artium necessitas', necessity is the mother of invention. I've come up with some things in my life, but this is definitely one that would never have entered my mind.
Cheers.
Karl.

Cheers.
