metal

Here's an old metal gas tank from a Tecumseh H30. It has no dents or dings and no rust inside. Would be great for a restoration. Comes with mounting bracket. $25.00 shipped.

Any recomendations? a lot of metal tanks on Ebay, but hard to find a nice looking plastic chopper like tank. If I used a metal tank and wiped out on the mini, should I worry about tank rupture and explosion?

pm me ca $30

I know that we would all like to buy quality tools that perform well and last. The problem is that sometimes you only need a tool for limited use and you can't justify the cost of top quality equipment. This came into play this week when I was fabricating some new inner rocker panels for my 1959...

So i just saw a 6.5 with a plastic cam gear for the first time. I didnt even know they were made like that. So i was wondering if the metal cam is better for valvetrain work. Mainly stronger springs. People always say that stronger springs will wear down your cam. Well are they assuming you have...

I am changing the seats on some of my minibikes. I am leaning towards metal flake vinyl (old '60's style). Anyone willing to post some pictures of their finished seats? It will give me an idea on size, pattern, etc. Thanks

Anybody use this stuff? Would it go under of over the color? I was thinking of using it with duplicolor metalcast purple so its kinda translucent. Plasti-Kote Metal Flake Spray Paint-Clear: Item# 307 - eBay (item 300370311680 end time Dec-23-09 10:08:52 PST)

I have a 20 series driven and want to know if I put a 30 series spring in it which is wound the opposite way if I can run the 20 driven face out like a 30??

my friends organized a free metal show in SF. just thought i'd let you guys know in case anyone is into death metal. updated flyer:

For those of you that need it, I have a fairly well equipped shop with a lathe,small milling machine,arc welder,and a small sheet metal bending brake.If you need a bracket or part made for a project, I might be able to help you out by making that part that you can't find.

How many of you have ever wondered what the inside of a Tecumseh 2 quart metal fuel tank looked like? Well I did so I took one apart the other day check it out. I'm seriously considering having some of these tanks manufactured and am curious as to how many of you would be interested in...

This is my first post so I hope I get things right. I picked up this bile at a garage sale last weekend and I wondered if anybody might know what it is.

This tank came off of an Tecumseh HS40 motor that was on a Powell Challenger. The tank was badly rusted. I could see day light through the tank if I held it up to a light. Needless to say it would not hold fuel...lol Repair was done using a 900W soldering iron and some grinding with a sand...

Hi-I finally finished my hot rod rider Rupp Roadster-2. I tried to make a fun and short YouTube video of it running. Check it out: YouTube - Fast Mini Bike Rupp Roadster 2 Race My next mini bike project will be a Cheeftah 1300 powered by a 4hp Kohler flat head. Alan

I have a HF clone and had to remove the shiny plated sheet metal shroud that covers the bottom side of the cylinder and attaches to the pull-start housing. I need the clearance or it will hit the driven pulley for the TC on my Arctic Cat Climber. It looks like the flywheel fan blades push air...

I have an arc welder, which is old and thus has a thin layer of rust on the welder housing. The dial is a moving needle whch goes from one end of the gage to the other, but the thickness and amperage digits are semi gone and unreadable.To find the ideal amperage I have been using trial and error...

Hi, Here's a basket-case, early 1971 Rupp Roadster-2 that I lathered in old school .015" blue flake and clear coats. I'll post a finished picture soon. I'm also working on an early Trail-Horse with some interesting rear wheel mounts that give plenty of ground clearance. I have not seen...

Starting to think about trying our hand at another custom frame. Would the following be something that could be used for forks and a frame? I was thinking 1" x .125. https://www.discountsteel.com/index.cfm/go/main.itemDisplay/itemID/90 It's probably been asked, but I'm feeling lazy with...
