Bloody Fixings

Recommended Posts

So ... I’m stripping the carbs of the Trophy to give them a good clean and maybe some jetting work to suit a freer flowing inlet and exhaust.


Why do we complain that the fixings are made of cheese when they churn up and slip .... only to complain that they are hard as iron when we try and slot them with a junior hacksaw???


Eventually used the Dremel to cut a slot and remove the bast*rd, only 6 more to go.

Here is the recalcitrant bugger - the red stuff started dripping from my finger when the original screwdriver bit slipped !!

And when you do get them all out nip up to Tool Station and get a bag of M5 x 16 stainless Allen bolts and dip them all in Copper Slip . You know it makes sense. 👍🏻https://www.toolstation.com/shop/Screws+%26+Fixings/d90/Stainless+Steel+Screws/sd810/Stainless+Steel+Socket+Cap+Screw/p29995

Got a set of Halfords Advanced Screwdrivers 1/2 price (£10)

Spoke to the guy at the bike station who knew about JIS ( unlike the people at tool station, screwfix or Machine Mart) and uses them on Shimano gears sets ( they have JIS fixings) what ever they are !!
