I've forgotten what I ordered now

That would be the alseimer's kicking in

As long as you remember what a top bloke I am when Santa drops presssies in your letterbox early

Thanks Matt got mine today.........

Thanks Matt, mine came today as well and there was a bit more than I expected too. Thanks Santa.

(whats the depth gauge thingy for? )

Looks like a pressure gauge.

It is some kind of depth gauge. No valve attachment, The black bit sits flush on something and when you push
down a little steel rod comes out and you can measure ...........something

Put up a pic of the end of the "black bit",Steve.

It's a Tread Depth Gauge
Doh, I just figured it out.

Fuck Seiko those valves are HUGE!
Compared to that ruler they look to be 2 feet long.......

That mate is what we call in WA a 'pussyometer' If the tread grooves on the edges of your tyres read like this (as per the kindly provided pic) then you can rest soundly knowing that you indeed have minimum kishy strips and maximum street cred and may ascend to the ranks of those such as Strika,Dave3,Madkaw,Wattie,Gosling,Blurr,Nelso etc,etc

If , however , after a few thousand km /trackdays the flattened metal bit prodrudes beyond the black bit and the "ruler" looking bit reads any more than 3-4mm then you need to take a very large spoonful of cement dust and grow some testicles!!




PS guys - USE LOCTITE 'SUPER WICK-IN' ON VALVE LOCKNUTS.


Fitted another set to a 900 Hornet tonight ----- sooooooo much better

You want adapters or valves Mr Hoffenator? (can be fitted to rims with tyres on if you are clever )

..... or just take to MadKaw and drink piss while he does it

Only charge for one carton, that has to be at least a two carton job!!!!!

Not hearing any "fark me it's sooooo much easier to do my tyres now " yet
