I used my new commercial grade printer to produce my first set of TF custom dials for a customer......

A new door opens...

Are the new prints different to the old ones? Better or sharper?

Neither, I bought the same equipment that the commercial printer I used had.
I can actually see a profit from the work now..

I can also turn work over faster and provide a on the spot service, visit me, design a dial, print, laminate and fit in an hour or two..

My Conti. Contact 5s, on the front, are coming up for replacement soon
I think that I will have a look at these.

Hi Bob.

Just remember Bob that whatever you buy put the newer/better tyre on the Rear Axle...

Ciao.

Nothing to do with my 75 (well... not much), but I still wanna share it because it makes me feel good

.

Last week I bought those BMW wheels that turned out to be very wrong. ET:20, 5x120 and way to big for the 75 (18" with 245/45).
So I cleaned them up real nice, polished the spokes, gave them a nice coating and put them back on the second hand website.

They where just picked up, and I made a very nice profit. And I don't even have to feel guilty because he was blown away by how clean they looked. He was really happy with them and considered my price a steal.

Now on the hunt for the right wheels. And I've already got a very nice pair in mind, but the guy doesn't answer his phone.

Well chuffed to have an ongoing project to fettle with.

Eventually changed the reverse light actuation switch on the gearbox...

It had been playing up for about a year now, work, then not work, so I bit the bullet and got my hands dirty...lol.

I got tied of the black boot, so I did this today:

(It looks like the colors don't match, but they do match)

Thanks, it's not perfect, but the cheapest quote I could get was 300 euro's

, so I decided to just do it myself.
