General Discussion / 1989 YZ250 tank

« on: December 07, 2020, 08:46:24 PM »

Has anyone been able to repair a tank with the embedded brass nuts that hold the shrouds in place where the bolt has punched through to the inside? Being the lower one it will spend most of its life in fuel so is there a tried & proven fix available?

Tech Talk / 3D printing

« on: August 11, 2018, 10:29:34 PM »

Anybody out there been playing around with 3D printing to rebuild old broken or unobtainable parts? Things like OEM front sprocket covers, stator covers etc look like they would be perfect candidates for 3D & once done, the program files can be uploaded into space for free sharing...…...

I saw in a recent VMX mag a comment that a pictured little 125 Montesa was quite a rare bike. Not sure if this is the same model or not but for all those Spanish lovers, maybe worth a look
