Radiator Gaurd

Postby jl4049 » Sun Feb 24, 2008 9:40 pm

Well went to Supercheap today and brought me some mesh to make a you beaut "Hoffy" gaurd, had a measure up, and it will almost completely cover the radiator on a C1 ZX9, radiator is 285mm give or take a couple of beans, and the mesh is 280mm. Started drinking whilst measuring and got distracted so will do the job tomorrow, after I go into work and rat some plastic strip for the edges off one of the new bandsaw blades hanging up in the store. I'll post a couple of pics when I'm finished. Got the shiny silver mesh, to impress my kids with my cool blingy ness.

That's almost right Neka, a true KSRC'ian would have watched Dave do it all whilst drinking his beer :D

Hey it's hard work keeping Dave motivated, you need to give him the occasional 'Doin a good job there Dave' , whilst drinking his beer.. :lol:

Jobs a good one, looks good, should function superbly and a quick blat round town shows no rattles or overheating issues. Left the camera on top of the fridge in the shed, so when I go get another beer I'll post some pics up.
