• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hindle rivet repair..!!

For those using the Hindle exhaust you may notice the rivets rattle loose. On the heat shield if you drill out the rivet and use a 6x1mm tap you can replace the rivet with a bolt. 20140624_103702.jpg on the body close to the shield you can drill out the rivets and tap them with an 8-32 and use 8-32x 3/4" stainless allen head with washer and red loctite.20140624_103618.jpg This works much better and easier to replace..20140624_103641.jpg Easy fix if you have the tools but any shop can do it for you. All parts available at Home Depot...:thumbup:

Good way for a fix, I just drilled out the rivets last summer, now no more loose heat shield to worry about.
Very annoying to hear that rattle.
Just saying.
 
Heat shield..!!!

is the first to go. Keep your eye on the back rivets of the main body..they go next..:lecturef_smilie:
