Quick release seat and tank pins

#1 Post by wayno » Wed Aug 29, 2012 12:15 pm

I am making another batch of these.

Anyone wants some give me a shout and I will make them, price is £11 per set including delivery. Payment will prefferably be made via direct bank payment as paypal fees are just ridiculous, I can accept paypal but would rather not if I can help it.

I may have a look at making some lanyards to suit these, if anyone is interested give me a shout so I can get some rough numbers.

As always if anyone needs any small machined parts making (turned parts preferrably as my mill is a bit pony) I can make these to a drawing, again just give me a shout.

small lengths of picture wire work well - small loop at each end :)

I think that quick release pins are a great idea - i have them fitted to all the household falcos.....

I would also suggest that you advertise them in the shire - i know a hobbit who may benefit from having quick access to his battery that he keeps forgetting to charge....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

That's all it takes, I put a paperclip in the end mine before. A mate of mine has a tab of insulation tape on his.

I can't understant the theory behind having a screw down seat, all the other manufacturers have gone for the tried and tested latch mechanism.

I'm obviously out of touch with forum humour as I don't get the shire part (obviously aimed at some vertically challenged, hairy toed member)

I was going to make some myself but if youre doing a set at 11 quid then I shall be definately in line for some of those.. Alad was indeed correct that I would benefit from some.

1 set for my RSV please.

:smt001

if you take decent lengths of the swarf and spray glue on one side, I know that these (marketed as go faster stripes) would benefit my stealth falco riding friend...

I do not need go faster stripes mate - already quicker than a Mille

mine is faster as it has a working battery....

I'll take a Falco set please.
Could you take an 18" length of bar, turn it down to a very sharp point and stick it up flatlander's bottom please? Ta.

I'll make an 18" diameter one, he may like feeling something touch the sides, remind him of his pre-village people days :)

Can Flatlander, Kwackerz and randomsquid drop me an e-mail on wayne.french15@yahoo.co.uk so I can send you my bank details and get your addresses, I have tried PMing you but all the messages are going to my outbox and not my sent items (not sure what's wrong)

These are now ready, I went made in the workshop last night and made several sets
