Title: last minute disaster
Post by: dobber on May 11, 2012, 10:18:16 PM
just come out the work shop [11 15], tidying up a few bits and made a leci box. as i did the last tack the arc welder earthed through the stainless braided and melted. no brakes, 70 quid the pipes cost.where the rear axle one was touching the one to the cylinder melted that as well.
 off for a late beer and hope the brake fairy will sort it or its off to the bike shop with the young uns new shoes money.

you got any boot polish or old black spray paint hangin around , hides the absense of footwear or if you're really artistic that toothpaste with the stripes can make a truly brilliant impression of a pair of nike trainers 'got to get the kids up very early in the morning though
