Grim Reaper

Ah, I see why there's no reply, vehicle is Sorned and not MoT'd

Spotted today heading out of town, I was in the van on the grass verge.

Heatshrink tubing. You have to take the tie rod ends off to do this but once off, run a length of good quality heatshrink tubing over the rods, replace ends and shrink it down once you've reset the tracking. You never have to do it again.

One thing to watch out for that I noticed the other day, on the insulated terminals anvils, the yellow and blue dots are in the wrong places, the yellow dot should be on the largest / innermost position to get the most crimping force for the larger yellow terminals.

I bought a couple of the G6 H4 LED lamps off Cindy from Evitek via Alibaba a few years ago, https://evitekhid.en.alibaba.com/product/60501482019-802326993/H4_LED_headlight_canbus_version_xenon_kit_high_lumen_hi_lo_beam_single_beam_hot_sell_china_factory_motorcycle_headlight_bulb.html I have these lamps fitted in the Seven, my Tintop and my KTM 690, they needed a bit of adjustment to get the beam patterns right, mainly needing rotating to get the orientation exactly the same as a H4 bulb. I have just ordered a further 2 sets of lamps off Cindy, one set of their F2 lamps and one set of their G7 lamps. F2 https://evitekhid.en.alibaba.com/pr..._Car_HeadlampBulb_6500K_Car_Headlamp_Led.html G7 https://evitekhid.en.alibaba.com/pr...pm=a2700.8304367.prewdfa4cf.23.34b662be1xu2Gi The F2's are the latest, very closely emulating the positioning and dimensions of the original H4. the G7's are an update to the G6's with better heat dissipation and the fan has been removed and a large heatsink is fitted instead, these look like the one's listed in the links earlier in the thread. Both these newer lamps have allowances for fine tuning the rotation to suit whatever reflector they are installed into. I will be trying the two different types out in Tintop and Seven when they arrive. The F2's were $39.52 ( I paid for them to be shipped separately to avoid customs fees), the G7's were $46.28. At the bottom of the Alibaba page there's an 'email to this supplier' box, It may have Haily or Vicky Huang, or Cindy Zhou as the recipient, all coworkers, either deal with Haily / Vicky or mention Cindy and they'll pass your details across to her. She'll give you a price, you give her an email address to raise a paypal invoice against, she will need delivery address and contact number off you. Tell her Dave Pratt sent you.

I bought this kit from Banggood when it was on pre-order discount https://www.banggood.com/Paron-JX-D5301-Multifunctional-Ratchet-Crimping-Tool-Wire-Strippers-Terminals-Pliers-Kit-p-1175325.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN The wire strippers have proved irritating and disfunctional but the crimpers are pretty good. Recently been using them to wire up a new Emerald ECU plug and the crimps have been spot on. They do a just crimpers kit https://www.banggood.com/JX-D4-Multifunctional-Ratchet-Crimping-Tool-Pin-Plug-Spring-Terminals-Clamp-Kit-p-1104438.html?rmmds=detail-left-hotproducts__4&cur_warehouse=CN

Bugger, it will let you Ctrl-V the link without opening up a second window, but if you right click and choose paste it opens the second window?? Either way, if the words 'Enable rich-text' are not in the bottom left hand corner, the picture will not appear in your post. We don't have the same issues with XenForo on advrider, that forum software remembers which post you looked at last time and takes you to the next one.

et voila! Rich text enabled (or is it disabled? anyway, click the bit at the bottom of the box where it says Disable rich-text) and the embed links off Flickr now work. (note that I don't get the second window opening up when I Ctrl-V the link) I will edit my first post to detail the correct process for either first post or subsequent posts.

I have found that if I start a thread I can post an embed link into my first post and it posts the picture, but any subsequent posts it doesn't work?

Answer found, ensure the 'Enable rich-text' wording is in the bottom left-hand corner before pasting the embed link.

Yup, that's weird, it lets me post straight into my first post box, but when I do it on a subsequent post it screws it up?? <a data-flickr-embed="true" href=" title="P1000687"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/522/19096006475_e0435fee77.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="P1000687"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Hmm, it didn't work that time?? I'll try again on a new post thread, maybe it only lets you link on a first post?

In Flickr, I just copied the link in the embed option (begins < a data - flickr) and pasted it straight into the comment box, no picture url links or anything like that. You do get a window opening up that requires you to paste it again and click OK. <a data-flickr-embed="true" href=" title="P1000687"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/522/19096006475_e0435fee77.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="P1000687"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Still got the GSA, but the KTM is even higher seat height than this behemoth. tiptoes only.
