RE: HOW TO - under fifty bux

Here is a tool for initial wheel alignment in the rear fork.

I used a six inch piece of 1/8 inch stainless round stock,
and a snug fitting o-Ring.

Grind one end to a blunt point then mark at 1 1/4" back.

Place the stock in a vise at the mark,
then bend it over and hammer down for a nice sharp 90.

I figure you would have this one Brian.

What else you got??

Make your own tools is a great pastime.

Trim to fit license plate
Remove plate, put aluminum tape over license plate mount, press down on tape to locate edges and thru holes, use a xacto blade to cut along inside edge of license plate mount, cut out thru holes, pull off tape and put on a cereal box, use scissors to cut out around the outer edge of the tape, cut out thru holes, align template to your license plate using thru holes, tape in place, use a die grinder with a file type bit and cut close to the edge, then put a piece of sand paper on your garage floor to use as a flat plate, sand the edges of your plate smooth and straight.

After

Thanks Formula. Nice job.

I've copied a few of yours through the years,
and I know you got a million of em.

My license plate, I trimmed off about 1/4" all the way around
to make it smaller for the mudSickle application.
