Evening gents, i have been thinking and doing some research on when you have to replace your sprockets and chain, but I still feel lost. Sprockets are obvious when they need changing, but the chain is another thing, I think it can be quite a tough one to judge for people like myself with very little...

Thanks for the reply mate, i dont mind what setup it is really, if the side mount is easier I will go for that. Ill see what I can source

Evening gents, I am sure the question has been asked before but cannot find a thread. Is there a way of fitting a steering damper to my storm and its 954 blade front end? I have read before if its been set up correctly I wouldnt need one but it will make me feel better when out and pushing it...

Dont worry, found them on David Silver

Thanks for the advice gents. Does anyone know the spec of the nuts? Is looks like an M7?

The best ones are the doughnut shaped compressible copper rings like the originals. Those ally fibre ones on eBay are rubbish in comparison. I usually put a ring of heat resistan...

Thanks gents, all removed successfully . Is there a gasket between the pipe and header? Do i have to replace it? Saw the aluminium fibre ones online.

My next question though,now that the nuts are off, how do i get the header out of the engine? It feels rather tight, shook it a bit but did...

thanks gents, I didn't even think of going down the nut splitter route. I am thinking it is very tight and need a splitter with a "side opening" if you wish to be able to fit between the pipe and nut. I recon this one would do: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/vehicle-joint-splitters/6188831/...

So i have noticed that the clamp holding my front header pipe to the engine is almost rusted through in one area. I have bought the set with wideband sensors fitted from Tony and very eager to fit these, but the gloom is still over my head on taking the current headers off. I will be buying a new se...

Good evening gents, So my pipes for the oil cooler is knackerd, almost rusted through. I was thinking of cutting the ends off and re connect with braided lines. Is there a way of connecting braided lines to the old pipe? An fittings dont connect to solid pipe, or am I wrong? Anyone did this tobtheirs?
