Troutie is gonna tell me off for getting distracted from the house move…but I couldn’t help mi self 😳

Son #2’s Crank

Son #2 was eyeing up son #1’s crank upgrade; clearly thinking why dad hadn’t got his arse in gear to sort one for him. Well, the turning-god that is brendan2709@gmail.com has sprinkled his magic once again and here’s the 2nd crank – sweet as…..I think I have bike envy 😯

Trouties Little Bast’d (the penultimate chapter)

After a year (on and off) of serious fettles, toasted drivers and just a little too much cash (but one must see things through?) I have transmogrified the little bast’d into a fairy princess!

All that remains is for me to solder up a bit of 3 b 2 circuit board to link the transistor, resistors and thermal switch (advice provided by BlackCat on that btw) and I’ll finally close the book on it. Here are a few snaps of the latest cooling fin love….. 😉

The ideas were mine, but the cutting and turning I can’t take credit for…fabrication work (fins) by York Fabrications (yc_fabs@yahoo.co.uk ) again. I have to give them credit: as previously stated I don’t know them personally but I can highly recommend them. Great guys to deal with 😀
