    Plastic guides for windows, Stagea R34 SII and probably others too

    in Fabrication

    Posted

    A while ago, had made some window guides and I thought I would share what I did

    Fully checked the internet and also went over to NZ and asked there as well!

    So if you cant buy em, make em!

    You will need to be handy with a grinder and a file to modify a BMW window clip but will not crack like the original.

    See the picture.

    Take off the retainer clip.

    File/cut/grind down the "legs" to 22mm to 21mm

    You may have to tap down the guide rail stop to insert.

    Put clip back on

    Grease lighty and insert into rail.

    Push back regulator arm's ball.........If I have peaked anyone's interest, PM me!

    R34 S2 Hitachi Cas Repair

    in Tutorials / DIY / FAQ

    Posted

    Hi All,

    My CAS on the Stagea S2 (hitachi type) had died so I will pass on how to fix it for around $140

    No one had a replacement RSB-14K (gray colour) so I looked at what I could use.

    I found the RSK-14 (black colour) will work with a slight modification.

    PICT.1 Buy plug to suit CAS and make 1mm copper post-54472-0-66439000-1434962108_thumb.jpgpost-54472-0-55070100-1434962180_thumb.jpgpost-54472-0-30530900-1434962223_thumb.jpgpost-54472-0-48339100-1434962515_thumb.jpgwires short, soldier ends 7mm long.....file to 2mm wide about .8mm thick

    PICT.2 Remove cover screws to access CAS and remove Large screw timing plate

    Remove old CAS and fit new CAS

    Put timing plate back on and tighten. Put cover back on

    PICT.3 Insert new plug wires into old plug, clips MUST be opposite each other. (BIG NOTE .....OPPOSITE EACH OTHER) see picture

    PICT.4 Tape up old plug upto new plug, try to keep dust and dirt out.

    I gather the reason why there is a difference between the 14 and 14K is that once the plug is on, It's hard to get off (no clip at front)

    I hope that helps everyone ......

    The problem with Extel is that they are very p2p unfriendly, they will shape p2p traffic & I think they are also considering banning p2p traffic during peak time (read something about it on the Whirlpool news section a while back, not sure if its implemented though).

    Also they have the 3 strike rule, in that if you get sent 3 letters for copyright infringement in a certain period of time, then they will ban your account.

    I'm currently with TPG, & they don't seem to care about infringement notices, they will forward the notice to you & give you a standard warning email but other than that, nothing. I must have gotten >10 notices already... :down:

    Just to confirm with everyone........not a flaming war.........is this fact or "hearsay" about p2p! This really makes it hard when other people (and myself) are deciding to change to another Internet provider and the "facts" are a bit grey. If you find the link, please post it.

    I dont work for any IP company so im not bias towards anyone. But thanks for ya input, It all helps

    Hi All,

    The Whirlpool forums are the best source for comparing but I see no mention of Exetel.....$65 bucks for 25Gb peak + 60Gb offpeak + normal phone included. Static ip for serving too!

    There are cheaper plans out there but I have been looking at all the deals to see what I will do next. I'm on Internode now and been faily happy.......but times are a changing!

    Hope this helps!

    Hi All,

    If you have a "gas" type MIG welder, I use 316 stainless steel 0.8mm wire with BOC light52 argo mix. This gas is really used for mild steel light sections but as long as you have Pickling paste (AKA acid), It cleans up a treat!

    I do a few hand rails and I used to use 2.5mm 316 stainless steel electrodes.

    I find that the MIG is faster and easier to clean up but if your joints are tight, electrodes do a pretty good job as well.

    My 2 cents worth,

    Cheers,

    did you type it into google?

    I see pages of results :(

    I did d-load the only one that related to it (Pareto AV) BUT Its a bit sus, there are a few "Antivirus tools" that you have to pay for or they can be a nasty waste of time...they cause just as much problems as the original!

    But thx for checking!

    Hi All,

    Been downloading stuff from the internet, you know a few dodgy sites from my backup PC............

    Transfered the "stuff" to my good comp and get this message from CA anti-virus .. drive: X desktop.ini ---- hamweg

    This continues to pop up every 10 secs and drives me insane because it cant be deleted.

    So I put in my second USB and transfer the same file and get the same message........

    So I do searches on google and other people come up with the same problem but no solutions!!!!!!

    Scan the HDD with CA...nothin

    Tried formating both...nothin

    Tried deleting partition....can't

    Tried on Ubuntu OS to delete file and can delete, BUT as soon as swap to WinDoze, back again.....

    Tried loading Unbuntu OS on USB over the top and then re-write back with FAT32 again.....still there!

    BEST tool on the net and it's FREE is Ultimate Boot CD 4 Win! Download this all-in-one Wonder CD and fix this F^CK3R for good!

    follow the instructions on how to make the cd and many other problems can be solved with this gem......

    Scan your harddrive/s with all the antivirus tools and then delete the files in "RECYCLER"(hidden file), not the recycle bin.

    I thought this would come in handy as NO ONE has come up with a solution and I have spent DAYS trying to get rid of this piece of CARP!

    I hope you dont this this BUT if you do, try as per instructions or drop me a PM and If see if I can help.

    Best Easter Wishes to all,

    Welding Advice Needed

    in Fabrication

    Posted

    DONT SELL THE MIG

    you will always find a need for it - speed and ease compared to TIG - especially if you havent done much TIG work.

    plus dependant on what your doing, even if you start TIGing your mild steel you'll end up with a spot you cant get the nozzle into and you'll have to mig it.

    Hi All,

    Generally an arc welder (stick) gives more penetration due to the amout of heat it produces.....generally welding materials over 2mm with 2.5mm rods and over where heat and distortion arn't much of an issue. You can weld Cast/mild steel and stainless.

    A mig welder generally uses less heat thus thinner materials can be welded ....0.8mm to 6mm in mild/stainless steel and Aluminium. Also the best for process work as it is the fastest way to weld!

    A TIG gives you the best control over heat and distortion for very light materials 0.4 to whatever and can weld cast/mild/stainless steel and Aluminium.

    In a nutshell, You know what you are doing the most of, and each has the strengths and weaknesses.

    A bit of info but not a lot of decision!

    I've got a MIG and and ARC cos I use both but I cant justify a TIG for maybe such a small amount of work I "may" do.

    Cheers JC
