    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Tools & find handy

I think there was an earlier thread so apologies if so.

Having been an automotive tech, marine tech, and motorcycle tech over the years I have acquired a fair selection of tools (likely around $30,000) but some stand out from time to time as good value.

Here's a pin wrench which I use to hold flywheels on smaller bikes as illustrated. It is also handy for holding many outboard motor flywheels as well as other tasks. While one could make a similar tool from steel and some hardened dowels or even roll pins, this one stands much strain, especially if can arrange something for it to bear against.

This one is sold by Mac Tools for whom I was a distributor for the last 10 years of my working life but sold by many others.

Don't know if this stuff is of interest to others but if so, maybe a thread might share others' handy ones.
