Cheap parts cleaner

Until finances allow the purchase of a parts cleaner, I picked up a large plastic box to start cleaning the larger parts. Cleaned lots of parts this weekend, also used this months purchase (digital vernier calliper) to measure the clutch springs.  Needless to say that need replacing!

In soak

Unknown parts found in the bottom of the plastic box.

Old gaskets removed and faces cleaned.

Shiny

Getting a little OCD with cleaning the parts, but its a good way of having some nice relaxing shed time at a weekend.

Most of my posts from now on, will be clean motorcycle parts!

Tools used for cleaning - plus a large container of Gunk

Yes, and the bolts - told you I was getting a little OCD

Clean parts into a new bag, with diagram if necessary

All parts given a spray of WD40 to protect them before bagging

Clean?

Not much to report on the CB250 build, just lots of cleaning parts.  Spent over two hours this weekend just getting the top of engine block basically free from oil.

6502 Test

I have created a 6502 test circuit, all seems to work. It should help with my goal of creating my own apple one replica. 

Evil Pi

Project Evil Pi, (or PenPi) hardware all done.  This is my Pi network security toolkit.  I'm using Kali Linux, Fruity WiFi and some other tools.  The Pi has been modified, removing most of the sockets and placing the wifi dongle in the case. I have added a small 16x2 LCD panel and some buttons.

Finished prototype case

Sockets removed and USB replaced with headers

SD card now on the back of the Pi 

Head bolt removed

I have drilled out the broken head bolt. I need to work our what thread so I can re-tap the hole.
