    Just bought the lower, I dont remember which side I needed, but for $20.05 I'm not going to let that one slip away because I screwed around. If I dont need it, I'll post it up here as an auction to help bring Annie and Quickstep over.

    Annie, I just happen to have a cassette deck for the '99 I'm working on and I took a few pics for you. Here's the measurements in the queen mums system.... Width - 140 mm Length - about the same @ 140 mm Thickness - 50 mm If you need them in the yanks measuring system just say the word and I'll measure it with a good ole USofA tape

    Dave, I offered, so dont feel like your taking advantage my friend. I talked with Ponch and we'll see about getting over there and taking some measurements. I think a good idea also is for us to take the trailer into the shop and we'll weld the tongue solid so the whole frame assembly is solid and can't move....we'll get it figured out before you head out in September :thumbsup2:

    Another trick for drying desiccant is to spread it out evenly on a paper towel and put it in the microwave and nuke it. I did this on helicopters in the service as they had canisters to absorb moisture in the tail section to keep the avionics dry. It will turn the Pink desiccant Blue when the moisture is removed, you just pour it back in AFTER it cools down.

    Full can of seafoam in a full tank of gas, run it so that all the carbs will have the bowls filled with the mixture. Let it sit overnight and do it's stuff, it will run worse the next day. Ride it hard for 30 or 40 miles, or run the tank completely out. Get on the eway and take her up 70+ mph and run it like you hate it. This will break anything up in the carbs within reason, do a carb sync and let us know how it's running after that

    Nothing like busting your chops my friend! makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

    How long do you think you'll own this one for?

    Ok.... Leadwolf56 is sending me the remaining Rally shirts for me to distribute as he is swamped. What I need from the folks that ordered shirts is to make sure that I know you haven't recieved your shirts, and for you to pay Black Owl for the ones you have ordered. Use this thread to let me know who needs their shirts and PM me with your addresses so I can ship them out. I know some of you have already paid for them, I'll get with Russ and see if we can decifer all the gory details. Thanks for your paitence and we'll get you folks your shirts

    Sometimes it's good when things work better than anticipated

    I would love to see that too, it would mean I had enough hair to put them up in pigtails!

    You have a good point there Forest, I'll be interested to see what we come up with. I agree that the tires should last at least 15K for miles, we'll figure it out and help get him squared away.

    Brian, The only issue that I could think of is that the tongue bar might have shifted. The actual square portion of the main frame is welded at the factory, no bolts assembling this one. I dont think we checked the actual squareness of the weldment, but it shouldn't have made a difference as our axle measurements were spot on pretty much. As I recall it the pull bar was centered in the width of the assembly, but this is a bolt on piece and very well could have shifted. I always weld mine together when I assemble the kit trailers and make double sure my dimensions are perfect. We'll get with Zipcode and make sure it's all where it's supposed to be. Thanks for helping him along with the trouble shooting of it

    Great trip Bud, I'm glad that it was somewhat uneventful

    I'm gonna chime in here now.... Ponch, I and Dave Pankow helped Zipcode put this trailer together. Here are a few things that we made sure of when it was assembled. Both sides of the naked axle were measured to the same spot on the tounge, both were within a 1/16". The axle, when we installed it, was strait and not bent. If memory serves me correctly there is only 1 spring on this, so it pivots in the front and is retained by a bolt in the rear. Dave brought it over to my house, where we tore the hubs completely off and cleaned them out thoroughly, bearings and all. We packed them with Kendall super Blue high performance wheel bearing grease. I spun both hubs with the tires on them and there wasn't any excessive drag. We had 20 to 25 lbs of air, I dont remember exactly, but I have always kept my pressures on every trailer I have owned @ 20 lbs. Lets remember that we are talking about a HF trailer here, the quality control is not the same on any 2 of them so it's entirely possible that the wheels are out of round or the tires were just a piece of crap. We all know too the importance of keeping the load exactly where the weight should be, if there was wear, things were shifting. Dave get with me and we'll either come to your place or you can shoot out here and we will inspect the trailer to see if there is some damage that occurred somewhere on the trip....glad to see you made it home

    I know others may not agree with me, but for me, if I pulled a trailer like that, it would have brakes on it. Looking forward to seeing it and you 2 again soon buddyro
  22. Squidley
    Thanks for keeping it up front and in our minds. I have been there with you and it is truly inspiring to see the progress that happens there. Thank you for all your tireless efforts Lewis

    Rad has to be loose as if memory serves me correctly it's a tight fit with the hose at a dead short 90 degree angle......and a lot of patience
  24. Squidley
    Yeah...and you definitely dont have Red hair and Pigtails, although I would love to see the look of you with them
  25. Squidley
    Thats a nice looking trailer Kenny, does it have brakes on it?
