I think Cycle One Off is back up and running, nice bar mount gauge set. Email and see if he can get you one done this year.

Hard to believe, he does garbage work. Cost me a ton of money. Do NOT recommend.

I stripped replaced and adjusted my headraces.

How did you remove the upper outer race?

How did you remove the upper outer race?

Welded two ridges on the face and drifted it out. I already knew that it would be a pain after reading on here.

 

[Fire-medic]

Oh yeah, just the heat from the welding made that an easy removal, I suspect, and the perch of the weld bead for the driftpin/chisel to knock it out, easy-peasy.

Keep the ground as close to the race as possible and disconnect the battery

It’s Beautiful day in the neighborhood!

That sounds like good advice to keep current from possibly passing through electrical components and damaging them.

Yeh more or less, not sure the heat made any difference but the tabs made it easy.

I've not had to use this method but from what i've read (in other forums) is that once the bead cools, it shrinks to pull on the race thus lossening it a bit. Seems plausible.

I might do one of them one day thus blue is a little to bright for that.

What’s the name of that blue? Looks similar to Toyota, Cavalry blue.
