Greetings:

Lately I'm using a hacksaw quite a bit. :oops: See Flash IV in Scooter Builds.

Head over to Harbor Freight. They have gnarly-looking carbide rasps that take material away in a hurry. You can purchase a variety of stones in the 1/4" shank sizes if you spring for a Roto-Zip, which has an awful lot more power than humble Dremel. The Zip can also fit collets down to 1/8". There's a $10 set of 50 diamond-encrusted 1/8" shapes for fine work at HF too.

Part Suppliers

Post by Wheelman-111 »

Greetings:

I've had good luck with MrCycles.com. They have a good lookup system, although discontinued/unavailable part numbers often don't appear in the fiche. If there isn't a Honda-san near you, Deepinnaharta Honda always gets whatever I order in 2 days, and of course there's no shipping cost, even if they charge a little more for the part. Maybe they can be persuaded to arrange a drop-ship deal. I've found buying them pizza every few months is very effective. :wink:
