about time zephyr 1100

[ozzy1100]

well its been on the shed floor for 4 yrs now and i have talked endlessly about what i am doing to any 1 that would politely listen to my rubish for any period of time.

there has always been: till i have my workshop, or the time and money exusses
but really i have to say its more just been that i really didnt know what i wanted the bike to become.

luckly i have being insired by some of the builds here and elsewhere,
im starting to really find bikes old and new built in a way that i really resept not just appreciate (Hysteria eg)
with the added bonus of good mates like russ to kick my arse and a great wife i had to start soner or later, the wifes bike is waiting for the lathe to have power so i can machine a steem and bushs non to soon a made a start

this is the bike befor i crashed at queensland raceway at not to far under the 120 mph mark at the end of the back stright

and this is after a few hrs in the shed and some dusty parts

this is just a ruff mock up to check hight,angles and steering angle
the forks are to be zx14 so i just pushed the stocks up the clamp. ill have to recheck after the 14 forks are on as they run diff offset
changeing the trail and hight but where i like it to what i can buy for rear shocks its a bit steap in the forks at 24.4 and 3.8 ish trail not to far of that for a blade i could just change the front hight but like the lines at that angle, doh looks like ill have to work out how to machine offset steam to change it to a bit more lazy

[80s freak]

even better Oz looking at it on a 'puter screen instead of the tiny phone screen. Good show. see you at AFR.

[ozzy1100]

thanks geoff going to be a bit better now i have a bit of a concept of what i want the end result to be like.
the hard part now will be working out the details
brakes and bouncy bit taken care off.
zrx 1200 arm , zx 14 front end (new springs and kitted) , busa rims and gazze rear shocks. tho have 2 get a final idea of clearnce needed and what rake and trail will suit the bike. std is 1500 wheel base, 27 110 trail front i have lost 50 mm wheelbase what a shame and am loseing the 18 rim at the front all so not a bad thing lol
paint and panel i have good ideas for but one thing i havnt worked out is power.....
bike had 85 rwhp before not lots but the flat table of grunt all tho the range made it a great bike to ride but only netted a flat 12 1/4 mile time at willowbank... was thinking at least over 100 and prob dont want any more than 150 at the wheel. this leaves the prob that this motor is really a 1 off by kwaka sort off a 5 speed zx 10 bottom end and some of one of their 1200 mtors that i cant think of the name of. twin plug top end so thats 8 plugs for fuck sake and very little in the way of go fast bits or info .
so im down to tuff na but prob only get just into the low 100s with out spending and risking the only motor ill prob get hands on.
then there is turbo only light tune to get up to the mark but rego, insurance and the need for efi.

and as for afr looks like churpy moring boy russ and i are having a road trip again this yr
have to stop my self wanting to stab him when he is bright eyed when ill fell like the dead cat that climbed up deono's arse last yr lol

[ozzy1100]

just a update
not a lot,
did get power in ground but still waiting for elec to hook up still 2 weeks away but aleast than i can use my lathe
but have started knocking out the dings in the tank,
russ the top bloke has found me a set of yamy yokes of a 1800 cruser of all things but take r1 sized forks so will fit my zx14r tubes ,the help that these give is that they have more offset than the kwaka(30 mm to 25mm so more trail) and are 210 or 209 fork to fork as the kwaka ones are 214 and as im useing a busa gen one rim that means i wont have to spacer the disks out to macth the centre line of the radials. as a added plus they are a lot fatter than sports bike yokes and russ is getting them cheep for me so i think thats a win lol

[HOS]

Congrats on making a start mate ! :)
ZRX swingarm looks cool.
How about the forks ? are you sticking with stock or going for USD?
Pleased your making progress though [8D]


Aiming for mine to be back on the road.... on a mission.

[ozzy1100]

thanks hos hope to see yrs soon
yes its getting a pair of zx14 forks and controls(the zx14 has radail master and clucth) using the zephyr stem and yamy 1800 yokes with a gen one busa rim and disks

[HOS]

Sounds good [8D]

They`re just a very good bike. Its kinda cool because everyone overlooks them. The same piece of road on the Zeph averaging 90 was easy compared to bloody hard work on the Busa at same speed. I`ve literally 1/2 a dozen jobs to finish mine. ;)

[HOS]

I think you know this one?
Its a good site for inspiration..

http://www.myzephyr.co.uk/galleries/gallery.php?id=3

[ozzy1100]

yer been there more than a few times love some of those jap works style bikes sweet
im with you mate they are just so nice to ride mind you i hope i dont fuck that up
by shaping up the handling and i think its a shame that they never really made it
makes finding parts a pain still not to bad but to me they ahead of their time
in the way they went back to oldskool mussel bike and with out them we wouldnt have gsx 1400 xjr1300 etc

[sharky]

Yeah Yamaha saw what they did and just improved it :)

[ozzy1100]

you wish gay boy
real men come 1st lol

[ozzy1100]

just a up date yokes will work a treet thanks russ
will have to wait till lathe is running to make steem fit

but i am likeing the look

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/P170501_06-04-11600x450.jpg

hopefully soon ill be talking to a bloke about a hot motor so maybe i wont be turboing still up in the air

[rod185651]

With the new front end it looks nice and tough already, keep the updates coming mate.
Did the busa front wheel fit the ZX14 front end standard?

[Fight_fan]

That fuckin tough Ozzy! I like it.

[ozzy1100]

thanks boys
yer lance looks better in flesh im keeping it a bit high to what most build old skool
because i have shortern the wheel base around 50 mm and the steering angle is down to 24.5ish it is allmost the stance of a early blade so that squat feel about it, i was going for flat bars or clip ons but the mx bars just seem to work in mock up with that stance
rod i wont know how much till i pick the rim up from the drags this weekend
but it will need spacers maybe bush on axle and if useing standard yokes spacers
on the disk also spacers on calipers for the change from 310 to 320 disk, nothing to bad tho i would have liked the kwaka rims but to $ when i had the back busa rim
mind you the three spoke is growing on me the more i look at them

[robmac]

Can't wait to see this one finished. Old skool superbike ftw

[LKC73]

Thats one tuff looking machine mate, will be awesome once its done.

[HOS]

Good Kwak custom and parts site with Zephs,

Hows it going mate ?

I`m in the garage today sorting out the vacuum lines now I`ve lost the airbox. Cleaned out the reed valves yesterday [xx(]

[ozzy1100]

great bike thanks mate

are you keeping the emisions reads on the exhaust ports
i was thinking of getting rid of most of it

[HOS]

If I was going the all out power route then yes I`d probably ditch all the vacuum pipes and valves. It would be easy enough to tap a thread in the reed valve housing holes to fit a grub screw.
It all seems a bit gimmicky tbh?

But I`m going to leave mine in for now.
The fuelling needs sorting with the new 4 into 1 and new carb filters, so I`ll take a view at that time. ;)

What about you ?

[ozzy1100]

havnt looked that far ahead yet really
just know its there and i will have to make allow for it at some time
we dont have the emiision test like you do over there but it is still a no no
have a lot to get to before i can really even get suck in with the rebuild so its no big thing
i left it on when i ran the free flow 4 2 1 oldsckool reversion cone exh and mod std air box with k/n with stage 1 factory pro kit and lots of dyno time
i was lucky and knew at the time a bloke with a bike dyno shop that i did some work for and hang out at the shop so had acess to the dyno
he would run it up and we decide what to change then i would have the jets swaped and niddle hight changed and ready for next run in just over 30 mins
floot hight took longer but a day like that and it run as sweet as a near stock 1100 one of these should run id say
dont think you will lose to much with the stlye you are building like u said if u what to ride fast just ride the busa lol

Yep theres the UK emission laws and theres having a mate who does the testing. ;)

[ozzy1100]

lol to good old boy to good

[ozzy1100]

just a update lathe is up and running so i machined a new stem
to macth the yammy yokes to the head stock.
wasnt as hard as i thought just some time and a little care finished out of s/s, but as happens changed my mind. im going to make a new one out of 7075 ally but allso going to change the design to give me the option to change ofest and stering angle.
looks like im might use honda top bearing as well it has same od but bigger id so bigger shaft size just waiting for mad mick at goodna to get back with some size and price.

the outside stems are stock and yammy one

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/lyntonsiphonepics229600x448.jpg

allso finally picked my busa rim from a drag race bloke at the warn up to the winters and it has the same axel size as the zr14 forks so win there.
the only prob was the fork spaceing to alignment to disk if i uesed the zx14 yokes would have needed 2.5 spacers on both disks but i have got around that with the yammy yokes they have the same fork spaceing as a gen 1 busa so all lines up one less thing to be a prob
so in the wash up to fit the front end i have to machine the stem , fit two spacer bush's to the axel and just the norm 5 mm spacers to the radil brakes to allow for the bigger disks allmost to easy but not finished yet so ill keep quite before some thing bites me on the arse..........

[BANDITROD]

Good stuff mate will be tuff as nails when it's finished

[ozzy1100]

thanks big boy

[ozzy1100]

ok been a while but there has been some movement on this project
and a few changes of plans ..... as things go along ill let u all see what i have in mind
some of u might have quessed by some of my quotes or know by me letting u in on whats going on
but looks like 135 hp at the wheel is what ill end up with, now i have made shore that ill be able to get it tho rego its a go
should run mid tens to low tens na but still be very streetable
it helps that i have been crewing for smurf and shel on their drag bike and have got to know scotty from rapid motion well :-) top bloke btw
also helps if u can barter copper air line and spare shit around the shed as well as cash for motor parts and work lol
also helps if u can find parts u need in germany and have them shiped at good price
so she has been striped and standard rollers on her to go to frame strighter

[BANDITROD]

good stuff mate you have been building this bike for about 5 years havent you

[sharky]

And he'll be building it for 5 more if he don't get off his arse.......

[ozzy1100]

yer crashed it just before i found this place and meet u at bike expo :-0
so yer 5 yrs but havnt really got stuck in over that time lots of sitting there and changed plans and cold beers
just bits and pieces as i sorted what i wanted to do with her
running gear and motor sorted(what is happening) now just have to pay and build those bits
i know what carbs etc i will use but still some loose stings in over all finish and detail ill use
paint and gauges etc ill use have some great ideas but trying to find the right ballance and flow for the whole bike

[ozzy1100]

fuck off russ u soft cock u just wish u where man enough to own a kwaka
but prob true lol oh and lots of cash btw u never thought id even get the 750 on the road lol

[nemo]

SO this is what goes on in that big arse shed of yers!!

looks like some good ideas to come about..

id love ta have a big monster thing to take to the drags!

also if ya ever need a hand (drink your beer and pass you tools) let me know im just round tha corner!

[ozzy1100]

yer it wasnt built for show that shed mate
speacking of drags this will prob be the fastest 1100 n/a zephyr in aus hehe and if its not fast enough have talked to scoty about wet nos for the track but that would be at a later stage if at all this thing should hoot with out it

[slingy88]

Looks great!

Luv anything with a steel cradle frame. i remember back in the day, thats really what fighters were all about.
Taking GS's and Z's and stuffing sportsbike running gear into em, then tuning the fuck out the motor lol.
Gutted you didnt go the force fed route and could have done it fine on the stock CV's without needing the expense or time of EFI
Dont know if you've seen this but its a great little read, might help you or someone else on thier next project ;)

http://www.unclebobsturbos.com/newbie.html

Anyway looks great, always liked those ZRX swingers as well.

Keep at it and get it done.

[Tony Nitrous]

we dont have the emiision test like you do over

It doesnt apply to older stuff but we are just starting to get new
roadside tests here. They are aimed at modern bikes and will fail
anything that had a "cat" fitted and now has an aftermarket
full system without one. Another good reason for Oldskool muscle.

Thks mate and I'm with u love old sckool shit just more fun lol
I really did look at turbo and will prob turbo something one day
but I got the opp to build a really strong na motor basically a street
tune of the drag motor I crew on . This gives away just what I'm up to
but keeping the zephyr motor just was going to be a pain for many reasons
Mind you 1230 and mybe low 10s but at least high to mid 10s
will match well with the rest of the bike very well. You need to stop in one day lol

Nail on head I think tony anything before cat lol
Funny I have only heard rumore about them starting testing yuck....

[Tony Nitrous]

Im on a local ride forum with several guys in that "trade".

My old ET is even better when it comes to exhausts / year / spec .... LOL

[ozzy1100]

yr old et wouldlook horn with the same treatment old boy lol
but i can understand why u keep it as u do they are a clasic

[stiffsimon]

yr old et wouldlook horn with the same treatment old boy lol
but i can understand why u keep it as u do they are a clasic

I'll second that. I have a bit of a soft spot for the old ET's and Tony's is just kooool

[ozzy1100]

pitty i like kwaka's so much then lol

[ozzy1100]

up date zee germans have landed well one of them any way

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/IMG_1639600x448.jpg

might end up a bit sticky but soon to be shiped off to scotty lol

just have to wait till i can aford to send to frame strightener but when it gets back the build can fianly start proper
not just mock up etc i have a clear idea of what i want it to end up like now and its time to start

if im not to lazy i might doc a bit of this build in more detail because it is going to be a full eng rego bike that will be very close to nothing they can do me on(always something if they so wish)

i havent filled out the right forms as yet and dealing with the dep of transport is like pulling hairs out yr arse but russ has done a lot of leg work for me but there is a form or two that u fill out to see if they will let you rego the bike. Now as i have said i have not entered these forms but the first thing we did was talk to the enginer about every thing i had planed.
this is the plan one zephyr zr 1100
upgrade front to zx14r usd forks and brakes
upgrade swing arm to zrx 1200 and brakes
upgrade rims to gen one busa rims and disks
replace zr 1100 motor with a gpz 1100 unitrac motor etc
all of this is fairly stright forward to get a mod plate some of it do not even need a mod plate
by the look of it it comes down to the way you word things not bullshitting and not being silly,
there is a check list they have on the net (Lo7 checklist) and things like spacing, size and type etc on lights ,the 45 dec on rear fenders etc and as boring as it is looks like if i follow their rules on shit like that and play ball i should have no prob on getting it tho and coppers leaving me alone
there is the f1854 form as well thats needs to be filled out but like i said dont talk to the transport get the forms and talk to the enginer that will do the mod plate for you

[ozzy1100]

this is the lines of the bike i got my idea from and with a shit photo cop with the gpz motor

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/1286286569gpz1100paste.jpg

i want a better finish to the end bike but i want a rider not a show bike so i would like it somewhere between the above bike and this bulldock zr 1100

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/kawasaki-zephyr-2.jpg


and in this style colour of bulldock zr 750

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/kawasaki-zephyr-750-5.jpg

i intend to use this bike as my every day bike, drag and track and need it to be able to do longer trips, hopefully
i end up with some thing close out of a rare bike that is much forgoten and as isnt considered a classic a much forgoten bike.

[80s freak]

That's going to be a real nice thing mate.

[ozzy1100]

Hope so mate but hard thing now will keeping the cash up to it
And still being slower than you and stif on those Suzy things but we
will see lol

[Tony Nitrous]

Should be a real interesting bike.

Only give away to its origin would be the tell-tale shape of
the frame behind the motor, but most folk wouldnt have a clue.

Always loved the Zephyr and Big old Zed shape and lines.

[ozzy1100]

spot on tony most most people just take it as classic zed and in pics the frame is the give away
but when u look at them in the flesh they are a lot bigger than the z1's etc (tank, hight etc )
and you in pommy land got a lot more of them then we did here in oz i have heard numbers of only 200 + sold here
apart from zee germans the uk sold the most well if u dont count the japs they made the fucking things from late 1990 to 2007
almost unchanged............17 fucking yrs

[stiffsimon]

Good on yer mate that looks as if it's going to be a bit of a stoater. Aircooled's the new turbo doncha know ;)

[ozzy1100]

Good on yer mate that looks as if it's going to be a bit of a stoater. Aircooled's the new turbo doncha know ;)
i always wanted to be one of the kool kids lol
might have to punt the kwaka 2 valve agaisnt yr suzi 4 valve simon but i think yr tune is a bit more than im prob going :-)

btw i didnt state what tune i was going to use, at 1st scotty was talking about useing the old 1463 block and kit he had sitting round and with the right head and cams would have riden as nice but gorilla blocks do suffer from heat bad(they kind of like sub 10 sec runs lol you should see the 1560 billet block he had there fuck yer...) . He had a think about it and would prob go 1170 over bore useing mtc pistons(about biggest before liners and a great smaller motor) but remembered he had a full 1230 mtc liner and piston kit on the self in 18 mm(last of the gpz motors and biggest rods they used but not many around rest are 17 mm wirst pin) that some 1 ordered and never picked up so offered it me at the right price so 1230 mtc forged it is then
apart from that its a stright forward rebuild. depends on how good this crank is there will be very little prep needed as im not spining it past 9500 10 000 rpm . the head will get full rebuild k liners s/svalve etc and some mild port work. the gear box will be back cut some clucth work and a few bits and pieces with oil pick up and pump that scotty says work with this combo and not much else prob use a 19 row oil cooler and oil thermostat . spark will be dyna 2000 and fuel looks like btween 38 and 40 mm rs's
and the outcome hopefully will net me close to 135 at the wheel but thats just a number this motor is being build to still pull from down low and be linear across the range to suit the way i like to ride at track days and on the street

[Jed]

Mate, I like the look of it. Hurry up and get it together

[sharky]

Mate, I like the look of it. Hurry up and get it together
Haha...haaahaaaa....hahahahahaahahahahahahahahahah ahahahaaha......'hurry up'....hahahahahahaha

[ozzy1100]

sux a cock gay boy lol

[stiffsimon]

Mate, I like the look of it. Hurry up and get it together
Haha...haaahaaaa....hahahahahaahahahahahahahahahah ahahahaaha......'hurry up'....hahahahahahaha

LOL know absolutely what you mean. Sounds like we're thinking/building along similar lines. It woul be good to meet up and pit the two old bruisers against each other but I was told that it's not safe outside Victoria 😄

[kiwi kdx]

Ooooohhhh can i play too?????

[ozzy1100]

Ooooohhhh can i play too?????

i think geoff wants in on the act as well there but looks like there really is a resurgance of old skool and i love it
and mine is the only one with a frame not made out of tin cans

btw simon i know y u cant leave vic i know what that type motor from trex costs u cant aford to leave the street never loan the state lol

[stiffsimon]

You're not wrong there mate fuckin expensive bit of work there but worth it in the end............................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................I hope!

[ozzy1100]

well at the local pub or cafe you will have the only one of its type mixed with the way they ride building them like we are fuck yer
its worth it lol

[80s freak]

Yes , you can count me in, better get off my arse at some point and finish mine. With the turbo, 93 GSXR and Bedford builds all fighting it out for tool time it gets a bit hard. At least I can work o n the turbo at work when there is nothing else to do.

[ozzy1100]

well thats 4 lol
mind u if livewire spets back into the seen with the injected full on drag motor thing we all fucked lol

[80s freak]

I'll have to wind the boost up and see what happens. Apparently my turbo setup will run to 30psi (the motor won't-she go bang long before that) that would make life interesting :D

[ozzy1100]

intresting is one way of saying it geoff lol
yr biggest prob is fueling
i have a plan with mine tho if its not fast enough at the track ill use a progressive wet nos system
you should see the wide band i found that has data logging and extra imputs including ex gas temp and will wifi a dash read out
of log to any device that can load a web page mind you the money would be better off spend else where on project but.........

[ozzy1100]

update talking to scotty i prob wont need wet nos
if i find i want more power after im finished he will change the base gasket for some more comp and just swap out to off the shelf
cams , cheep and easy and more power than i can prob use(we will see lol)

bare bike is at a old kiwi bloke's place to be strightened
http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/lyntonsiphone031600x448.jpg

im waiting to see if i can get some 40 mm plate in just over 200 round. This is to see if i can make a tube bender (not a pipe bender ),
for no other reason than a pro tools manual bender or other brand will cost between 500 and 1000. This is to be able to do russ's
arm in his xjr the way id like to, between us we think we can work around it but if i can and dont cost $ or to much time Id like to do it the better way.
so inbetween tring to make a start on the mill, finish some of the workshop off, fix scotty's ulrtrasonic, makeing tube bender, making do with fuck all work-there for fuck all money and makeing it work with my ex I would like to make the bike lift and work top. I have always thought of makeing one out of the piece of 12 mm plate i have had standing up agaisnt the side of the house for 8 or so yrs.........
did some lines on paper because computers are the work of satain

worked out what I had in air rams would be about 8 times short of force i will need to lift the 750 800 kgs
250 bike
100 me
prob over 250 for the 12 mm and 65mm rhs of legs
and a bit for head room just in case

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/lyntonsiphone030600x448s.jpg
i have 3 of these but one wasnt enough to get car of ground but 2 lifted the rear so i thought about 250 kgs each...
looked up google and found specs and they are rated at 300 kgs each at 6 bar so well short of the 10 tone i think ill need in lift
not to worry tho 20 ton air/ manual hyd jack off ebay for under 150 to my door will do it

oh and just a knife in a tree

sharky keeps telling me that i seam to spend more time building things to build bikes than building the bike im building them for.......

he is of coarse complety corect but fuck it as a single dad with 50/50 care of my son it means at times all i have is time
now if i could just spend more time working than thinking about them i would be set.........

but 1st a big thank you to tony for his free to good home power hack saw and then turning out to be a top bloke with a wealth of knowledge and experience and some really really cool toys....

[ozzy1100]

made a trolly out of some really shity scrap and found drinking can effect your work...
the next day when i went to tack up it wouldnt make a square mmmmmn oh one side is 100 short doh
oh and you had to use miss matched sizing to get the lengths in the 1st place and have no more
well quess just add a bit in, it is just to wheel the fucking thing around out the way when you park yr truck after all :-( .......

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/lyntonsiphone189600x448.jpg

here it is cutting 100x100 for the bike lift table like its nothing so much better than the drop saw

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/lyntonsiphone208600x448.jpg

[ozzy1100]

made a tramel so i could mark out on lift table

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/lyntonsiphone195600x448.jpg

tried it

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/lyntonsiphone198448x600.jpg

but what really is killing me is how can something as simple as a lifting table take so much design and thought.........
i wish i could use 3d moderling or be willing to go into the pain of learnig it cause last night was about 1 to 2 hrs with drinks to design where the 80 mm roller will be centered in the 75 rhs legs as to allow rotation and be the best way to build easy and with whats at hand so it cost nothing arrrrrrrrrrrr its a fucking wheel siting at the end so it can move up and fucking down how hard can it be..............still would have been a ass fuck but less than this mess

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/lyntonsiphone198448x600.jpg

some times im graced with a better class

so thats the zx gear box i wanted and as a bonus the zx oil pump scotty really likes to mod for the gpz motors
also a spare crank but this one really need a rebuild , plus some other parts and all this means mosst of the raw parts i need are taken care off

[Jed]

I really need to get off my arse and coma and have a look at your workshop. Looks like you have a heap of cool toys in there

[ozzy1100]

I might have shit bikes but love cool toys :-)

[Jed]

Ozz - You heading down to the drags on Sat?

[ozzy1100]

Wasn't but what's on :-)

[ALBI]

ummmm the drags ozzy!!!!!!

[ozzy1100]

is it just a test tune night or bucket meet i dont think it will be a national round but never know but yes very correct it should be the drags............

[ozzy1100]

blaa who needs cad when you have scotch and a some good old paper

this is over kill but ended the easy way to make shore that i get enough preload at the pivot fixed pionts
to stop side lash made worse by not wanting to run a gide on the rolling pivot pionts
i will be running plastic washers to smooth out the action

it is just a lift table but for what i have in mind now and into future a good soild base is just what i need
thinking over kill is better than wishing i did....

[TonyOW31]

Do you really think 12mm plate is going to be strong enough for your lift table? Personally I'd go for 20mm, or to be really safe 25mm:p

[stiffsimon]

[QUOTE=ozzy1100;381502]will I ...wont I will I ... wont I mmmmmmmmmmm finish my project before I'm senile :rolleyes: ;)

Too fukin late for that stiff.....

[Tony Nitrous]

Having visited both TonyOW31 and ozzy1100 recently...
F#rk! You guys and some neat toys and skills.

[ozzy1100]

russ ...sux a cock gay boy
tony do you have some spare 25 mm you know I would have if i had it
simon as if you can talk
and other tony you havnt seen anything yet
btw thanks pricks :-)

[TonyOW31]

I did a quick bit of FEA on that 12mm, and I reckon when you put the Zephyr on it you will get a deflection of 0.1254867459mm, that could lead to one of your sockets rolling around a bit, or maybe some of your drink dribbling down the side of the glass, can't be having that, maybe use a bit of 125X65 TFB to reinforce it?

[ozzy1100]

no just a bigger bit of steel ...........well two stringers 100x100 (4mm wall)
if thats not big enough I do have some 150 x 150 out back in the grass ( I think about 6 lentghs @ 5 to 7 mtrs)
and im useing the 75x75 I have out back as well as the lifting mech :-)
Being a horder and working on sites all my life has its perks lol
you engineer types tend to over think things lol mind you I should have just had some 1 like you design it lol

If i dont get this big mill table Im after ( 2400 x 900 ish) Iwill be useing this lift table as a gig table as well if I have to :-)

[TonyOW31]

I was just being sarcastic, thought it was a bike lift you were building, now I'm confused, what is it you are building?

[ozzy1100]

its all good tony i was shit takeing back lol
it is a lift table but i had the steel and thought if i make it strong enough i could make ito a frame gig table as well if needed :-)

[stiffsimon]

Hey bugger lugs, I just put a Michelin sticker on my bike lift so my project is moving along just fine thank you very much!

[ozzy1100]

shit slow down there simon....

[stiffsimon]

Happy Strayla day mate
