Nope, push type slave cylinder. The actual hole is 7.05/7.15mm, I was trying to find something in our catalogue to locate it reasonably well without resorting to a doweled stud or something like that.

Oh, the concentric ones that go inside the bellhousing? Eh, I'd say ream it out to 8mm if it's a major hassle, but I've become somewhat complacent about M7s turning up, some manufacturers seem to have a real thing for them.

You snapping them, or just trashing joints?

If you follow the KB Facebook page you will see the pieces. Lots of pieces.

I do, I haven't seen any "mechanical" pics since the brake fitting?

I've seen this car around a fair bit (my mate used to live on the next street), and admittedly, not to my taste, but really? People will stump up that sort of money for a Celica Supra that (1) has been hosed about with, and (2) has a borked engine?

So I ran some mountain bike trails for the first time with my brother in DuPont state park (on a loving pimp Santa Cruz Bronson CC). I kind of want to get into it but have a real lovely bike. He gets a hell of a deal on Raleigh bikes so i could pike up a tokul 3 for about $600. Any good reason not to? Only thing I think id want to add would be a dropper post.

That's how everyone can afford both. Oh and taxes used for both rather than bombing another ME country.

Well, good luck getting people to understand that having healthy, not-stupid people populating your country is a net benefit. Or that getting your collective knickers in a twist about hilariously small expenditures of public funds on contraception etc is totally backward when you consider the costs of the inevitable alternative result.

Though on the other side, pushing university as the "best" education path is mistaken. It should be a tool for enhancing knowledge/learning of a specific subject, as and when academia is the best approach to do so. You need good general education that's fit-for-purpose, and to respect that vocational training and apprenticehips are not a "lesser" option. There's a lot to be said for becoming a good plumber or electrician etc as a way to secure your ability to put food on the table, even better if you have an affinity for something where society at large is looking down the barrel of upcoming "natural wastage" of the current skilled providers of it. Something needs to be done about the feedback loop of "Everyone goes for a degree because you need a degree to get a job because everyone goes for a degree of some kind now". hosed if I know what though, I'd imagine it's a bit of a house of cards at present, and poking it too hard will be very much worse-before-it-gets-better territory.

Well looks like my sister's all right. It was a rapid growth cancerous mass, they think they got the whole thing. Some light chemo and she should be fine.

drat this has been a rough 12 hours.

Good stuff, man.

You'd think that a drug dealer would be the ideal person to invite: great chance of getting a generous wedding gift of cash (albeit in crumpled dollar bills)

I can't tell the tone intended by text alone, so bite me ging.

I just want to know that, when your mother in law asked why he didn't get an invite, you just locked her in a stare and started playing Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap over the bluetooth speaker.

I'm assuming your wife had a pretty good reason for it.
