Re: Neils Frankenstein Ute
After having driven Frank a couple of mote times after fitting the tramp rods I was still not happy with the vibration when accelerating in the low gears.
After procrastinating for over a year I bought two x 2 degree pinion angle correction wedges, fitted them yesterday and removed the tramp rods
then Robyn and I took a road trip to Dwellingup, it’s amazing what a difference 2 degrees made, very noticeable difference however I think I’ll get a couple of 3 degree wedges and see if I can really smooth it out.
Our WA club really needs to do a run to Dwellingup, we went to a Cidery called Wine Tree Cidery the owner has old bikes and stuff we had been there before but this time he had a new sign on display He found it under some rubbish dated at the bottom in the 1920’s

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: Neils Frankenstein Ute
Just bought a set of Bangin headlights for Frank.
Robyn and I will be down late for the Nationals so may not make the Friday night meet and greet so with the weather the way it is and probably dark on the way down I actually wanted to be able to see
The guy created these in his shed here in Perth and has exhibited at SEMA and is going again this year.
I have no affiliation with the guy just think it is a great locally made product, I'll have some flyers if anybody interested have a look at his website.

No worries Clay, the guy will take $50 off if you are local and even fit them for you, as I said pretty decent guy.

Bangin Headlights fitted, took about 15-20 minutes, big difference I think, great fit no relays or anything and draw very little power.
