Re: gearbox issues
Pink grease? Has someone put ATF in the gearbox? Supposed to be EP75 - 80 gear oil. Just clean everything spotless, remove all slop and lost motion at joints, adjust/alter the entire system so each "turn" is 90 degrees. If you are running the bike standard rear drive and wheel it will feel like you ...

Re: Red ignition lamp
Presumably an electronic regulator with one of its wires specifically to work the charging light. Oddball fault then. When it does come on, does it flicker if you shake the wiring about? (thinking a poor connection). Have you had a good voltmeter across the battery and seen 13.8v to 14.1v with the e...

Re: Red ignition lamp
It is supposed to go out as soon as the alternator is turning.
Have you used a filament lamp? An LED won't work.

Re: Broken stud - drill out and retap or stud extractor?
I would agree. On no account try the helix tapered extractor. All they do is screw themselves in deep a tight, expanding the broken piece even more. Then they snap off. I have had success with a square tapered type with a flute on each corner to give a sharp gouging tooth at each square corner. Thes...

Re: Type 4 chassis
1 tonne capacity engine cranes. 2 off. Rentable. Lifting strops. Again Rentable. Easy and safe. Or 4 burly people to can trust NOT to let go and one more person to shift the stuff from underneath whilst it is being held aloft by aforementioned burly people. I am lucky to have proper steels holding m...

Re: Nova Reverse Gearbox
I use a red fibre washer, but a soft aluminium or copper would do, same as a sump-plug.

Re: Rear brake disc
Only concern might be if there is a section of brake pad material not touching the disc. This would not wear down and so create a step in the friction material on both sides.
I welded the holes up in my brake-pkate and made new ones further in so all of my pads sweeps the disc.
