Have lots of spare beam parts Alan!! if you need anything........

Alanapone^p · 28th November 2011, 11:46

I need to get the nuts and funny washers out first though... Their stuck like shit to a blanket!!

I will see if I can find some plus gas though.

AlexB^p · 28th November 2011, 12:52

Cut a groove in them and smack them round with a screwdriver

Heat doesnt do anything apart from soften the head and make them easier to round out

Don't be a fairy Alan, tbars are easy :-) dont arse around all week with it. If boony can't do it then bring it here, I guarantee it'll be no problem

Alanapone^p · 28th November 2011, 15:42

Lol, I know their meant to be easy BUT I don't want to have to drop the beam off unless I HAVE to. I'll see if Boony can sort it on Wednesday... If not, the fuckers coming off!

November has been a total BUST for me... EVERYTHING practically has gone wrong so I'm trying to be careful so I don't make it worse.

I'll deffo be banging on your doors if it goes tits up though.

AlexB^p · 28th November 2011, 17:42

Youll never have to drop a beam off alan

Seriously dont fuck about swapping beams all you need is more muscle weve never heated a beam and weve not had one yet thats beaten us even gavs bastard beam ended up submitting and us winning the day with it 50mm lower and perfectly reset

Alanapone^p · 28th November 2011, 19:20

I know mate. I'm just not building my hopes up so that when Boony get's it done in an hour i'll be well chuffed! lol.

The nuts look like their rusted in as part of it though so hence the non-excitement

We'll see on Wednesday evening! Hopefully a good update will be coming!

it's all part of the fun :-) nice and rewarding when it's all apart, cleaned up and going back together nicely.

Get some irwin bolt extractors on them.

Will either get them out no prob or snap the head off.

Either way you get the t.bars out, but then might had to drill and tap the thread out

Alanapone^p · 28th November 2011, 19:41

Either way, looks like I may need to get some taps! lol. The beam won't be coming off unless I absolutely HAVE to! after the track day I'll think about taking it off and cleaning it all up etc. Until then, i have 13 days to finish it off.

Ive got new torsion bar star head bolts if you need any Alan,and torsion bars.......

willsy · 30th November 2011, 18:32

Is it done Alan?

boony · 30th November 2011, 22:48

Yep

Alanapone^p · 30th November 2011, 23:12

IT'S DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't say enough about the work Boony has done tonight (and his dad!!)

If anyone reads this and is worrying about getting a beam lowered, Look no further! PM Boony, he'll come and sort it for you!

The poor lad has spent 5 hours here tonight and his poor dad has had his hand smashed to pieces with the lump hammer swinging!

I'm SO chuffed (mostly that I didn't have to do it lol!)

Here's a quick picture I took. I'll get some better ones tomorrow.

Cheers Boony and your Dad.
