That is very clever Chook, I should have thought of it myself.. Ah! what the heck I suppose you can't think of everything.. The only part that won't work is the wheel weights, Rims are too small a dia but using that technique along with removing and adding weight from the tire will do the trick.
Thanks Lads,
Ron


RON , USE ADHESIVE SILICON TO GLUE SOME FLATT LEAD SHEET TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE TYRE. it works, just do FFS

Silicone Adhesive you say?? I will give it a try.. I ran a balance test on one tire today and it took a 2.25 oz Washer to bring the wheel 1/4turn.. It certainly is a long way off colour..

are the tyres actually round?
or possibly fitted slightly off centre?


perhaps your old aircraft tyres could do with being checked for being out of round- just spin the wheel on its axle and check the profile with a piece of chalk?

So are the wheels "out of round" OR "out of balance"? Yes you mentioned they shake about at speed but it could be either or both....

There are some; every other day watering, NO water overspray onto driveways, sidewalks, etc..... not too bad, I guess.

Big push from water companies to go with low/no water landscaping, tho

were on a complete watering ban, cos they didnt have any restrictions back in summer, when all the water was being wasted. all the dams and aquifers are at their lowest, yet the keep talking about increaseing the population

For the first time in a number of years, we are no longer in a 'drought condition'. My guess is that we will be by the end of summer, but hope for the best....

You Drongos just don't get it do you???
This whole Rain Fall, Global Warming, Failing Infra Structure etc etc etc is BS.
It is just a toy for Governments and Bureaucrats to use against the population. Oh! sure they are real problems but ain't sh**te we can do about it.. What happens if we halve our CO2 output within 50 years?? What happens if in those 50 years the Global Population trebles?? What happens when a Species outstrips itself?
Canberra said years ago that we should build the Snowy River Scheme, that the water and Electricity would be good for 100years.. BULL! We outgrew it way back and Droughts have done nothing to help. They are just throwing the baby out with the bath water. Sad thing is they just can't see what they've done.

Commerce and Progress must continue forward if it doesn't it can't Stagnate it must go backwards and your Governments will not let that happen. Where is the sense in sending produce to China to have then Process and Package it?? Huh? Because it is cheaper than doing it in this country or yours DY, you can have a cheaper product. Is it Cheaper??? In your Pantries may be but what about Environmentally?? All those Millions of Tonnes/Tons of Fuel Oil into the atmosphere. Oil spillage into the Oceans.. Go back to your basic Physics. They have known this for a long long time Perpetual Motion is a physical impossibility,
one cannot take a hold of ones pidler and lift oneself off the ground. If it were possible then what the Hell would we need Fuel for? Just give it a shove and hope you have good brakes. The higher our demand for water the less water we will have. We have a S**t Load of it here in Tassie and they are talking about Pipping it to the Mainland.. Just like they are doing with our Hydro Electricity. Because of that Electric Link to the mainland we now have to pay premium Mainland Prices.. It isn't about you getting cheaper power it is about Gouging the maximum for minimum input. The Gov't paid the Power Stations off Long ago and they do Zip about maintenance so where has the money gone??

Give me a Break..

Hey DY, Wadayou Trying to kill me?? I am diabetic and avoid sugar!!
Anyway Sugar coating the Bitter Pill is a Politicians way. Spin and BS. Truth is if they didn't Pull the Wool over our eyes they would never get anything done.. They all have unethical Interests at heart.

OK! Friday; Out on the Strip, Wind 20-25kmh, SW. I am reasonably happy to Rig and have a shot, and So Away we go. Shoot down the strip and scratch about for awhile and eventually get an increase in wind for about half hour and then the so-called Wing Drops right out. Bugger pack it up and go home with the breeze chopping all over the shop.

Saturday. Ripper Coop' good wind of around 30kmh so I give it an hour to be sure it is going to hang around for a couple of minutes and off to the Strip again.

Wing Sock Erect (Happy Happy) Rig up the Razor and----------is that wind dropping??----- OK give it a Try and we scratch a WHOLE 10mtrs and the wind is gone. I lay there like a stunned Mullet for about 10 minutes hopping against hope for "My Friend the Wind" to return.. Bugger Pack up and go home..
And people wonder why I am becoming Paranoid and think even The Wind Gods are against me... Well you explain to me why Yesterday and Sunday were so windy and it Piddled Down most of the Day??

Nikky Pooh, think about it! What youv'e seen so far are his "youngest" daughters' blades. She has 4 other sisters bigger than her, with blades to match. Then you have Landyachts' blades and he is a lot bigger with blades to match plus a large variety of axes some f'ken nasty sharp things on long handles[}:)][}:)][}:)]
