Nah I made one already...

Mr Lau might want your old cross member..... so long as you pay the shipping (and give it to him for free).

(kidding Steve) kinda.

sounds like the ps reservoir he wants...and dang it, I just keep forgetting to send it off....


I'll hang onto the old crossmember anyways. It has the little bracket to hold the ebrake cable, but was always in the wrong spot.
So I'm hoping I can re-use it and move it to where it will work, trick is to make the ends where it joins the frame look elegant.

First I have to get the damn thing rolling again tho.

I am soooo looking forward to burning the pair of jeans I've been wearing during all this.

can hardly blame the guy! Probably trying to figure out what wrong turn he made rolling into a town that starts with "Chem" and ends in "Anus"... Besides he probably figured you were just another dirty hippie driving slow in the fast lane...

Naw this particular dumbassed albertan turned what should have been a 1hr sea trial into a full day of answering questions like, " what does this button labelled bilge pump do?" followed by , " can I turn it on? "


I didn't mention the 40 second pauses between every single question and answer while his grain fed oil soaked brain tried to process the information...almost always unsuccessfully, so I had to repeat EVERYTHING multiple times.


As for the anus thing,keeps the victorian riffraff out.

Although most of them just have a blank space on their maps north of goldstream, and blink dazedly at you when you say shawnigan isn't "up island."

Shouldn't you be placing doilies on the tables or something?

You should have dazled him with fancy marine terms like: Port, Loo, Head... if that can't sell a boat, you should consider heading to the "wild rose" province to make your money then...

try these "Walker" exhaust parts #51022(about 8inches long), #42216 is about a foot long.

Cool thanks for the #'s...I'll run them past el gordo. Think I may enquire about some sound deadening products. This month of highway driving mootard has my brain a little tenderized.


As for dumbassed albertan, yeah I did throw some jargon at him early on, but then I found I had to explain each individual word...it was making things worse..I have considered heading that way, trouble is, I hear there's even MORE albertans out there.

( btw, loo is British...you're gonna have to rinse your mouth out with some poutine after saying that...)

I enlisted me ol' mum to work on the cruiser.


I call it my "Tranny Hump Saddle." (Go ahead, Google that. I dare ya. )

Lots of insulation in it. Does cut noise quite a bit, as well as give me a place to put some stuff while driving, like cell phone etc, instead of just on the passenger seat or dash, ( where it inevitably falls off and ends up under the pedals.)

 

[slowandsteady BJ]

Good idea.
You should get ol' mum to round up the rest of the ladies in the seniors home and start cranking those bad boys by the hundreds!

If the "Trasharoos" are such a hit this might just work!

Jessss......

I will build an empire on little old ladies sewing hump saddles...


It was a bit of a pain in the ass with the insulation , but my tranny hump had some air/noise vents in the top from the relocated shifters, so kinda necessary.

we have a sailrite sewing machine which could pretty much sew plywood, so it's great for this sorta thing.

 

[hellbent40]

i will take on of those tranny hump things... looks sweet...

so you gonna be the slave driver of the senior sewing club like ben stiller in Happy Gilmore ..

 

[slowandsteady BJ]

I hate Ben Stiller.
