  1. Hi Debb, dunno but scour the classifieds in CMM magazine....gonna take some finding though at that age. ...Paul
  2. yep, youre right, the lady may be handy at carpentry herself donchaknow!
  3. If you phone Aldi and ask where 'Spot blaster' is available, they will tell you...very helpful like that...
  4. There arent any safety issues, just wear a dust mask and goggles and make sure its a dry day and your neighbours washing line isnt too close Luck git! I bet you can still get them from Aldi and not have to pay the postage...they were £10.60
  5. Nah! thats a collecting bag for the blasting medium...media...grit
  6. Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3 Picture 4 Picture 5 Pic 1= the problem, pic 2 = part of the answer, pic 3 = the result, pic 4 = the result after the silly plastic gubbins (the bit that makes it a spot blaster) was removed, Pic 5 = The finished article... You can use dried sand as a blasting medium, I do not recommend the use of the shed though, far better to fit a seat in there and install electric supply so your lovely wife can watch you at work outside while she is fully protected and making you brews from the safety of being inside... ...
  7. Nice one Jim...(a legend in his own lunchtime)
  8. Dunno , like Cynic said..it wasnt sold here...any info we find is by Googling for it!! What id number is on your carb? just for example 2H500
  9. Hi Luis, Could the info you are looking for be Here ? ...Paul
  10. Might be worth shorting out the side stand switch if it has one, just to eliminate problems there.
  11. Sorry mate I dunno, if older school than that...Just...aircooled ones, but if it sounds good and the coolant looks clean, do an oil change and all the usual stuff like battery and chain adjusting / cleaning and lubing...its a DT so should be pretty solid... ...Paul
  12. Looks to be in great shape...is it?
  13. This is a bit off topic speedo now but try this get a stout piece of tube like a scaffold pole piece or summat, now place the tube end around the swing arm pivot bolt head (protect your frame paintwork with something) and rest the other end against something solid like a wall, lean the bike into the wall to keep it in place, you may need a helper. Now as you strike the bolt head (leave the nut on at first, just loosen it) the frame will NOT flex now and your efforts will likely be rewarded...give it a try...it worked for me...
  14. Oh yeah...so why did they keep lifting the dogs tail then...
  15. Oh I dunno, if you root around...There are some Bargains tp be had.
  16. Looks in good order, wonder what it'll fetch.
  17. Dunno mate, never had one but I know from what ive read that they are not fast, they are not supposed to be fast bikes, take it easy or get a DT125X if you want fast... I would guesstimate about 60 myself.
  18. 125 are like rocking horse poo, if you think about it back in the day you could ride 175's and 125's on L plates...guess which won...
  19. Airhead

    Number plate size

    Not always the case Steve, mine has seperate reflectors...
  20. It runs fine without it and youve cleaned and oiled it, it must be too oily, place it between newspaper and squeeze it to remove excess oil, replenish with new papers, dont wring it...be gentle, should be ok after that...
