I had a red Watkins Rapier 22 which i bought second hand in '65 for £14. It was a step up from its predecessor a Rossetti Lucky 7 in my guitar history but to be honest in hindsight it wasn't anything special and i part exed it 1969 for a Vox VG2 which was a LP copy and a much better instrument. The shop where i did the deal was in Portsmouth UK. Well done with the renovation , those Rapiers were very much part of the UK 60's scene for young guitar playing teenagers . I had a mate with a Rapier bass , and i also had in the 70's a WEM Dominator 3 . Rated at 25watts ( a very loud 25 valve watts ! ) they were really good amps so much so i used that until the late 80's.

@@TexasREGuy If you wire it directly across the battery it means you can run the fan without having the ignition turned on. The advantage is that you can cool the bike down without having the key in it which is useful after a long hot run on a very hot day. Also you can test it works at any time. The disadvantage is that it can left on and will flatten the battery if forgotten about.

I have done this job by unbolting the ball joint from the wishbone and then sliding it out the strut with the hub. This means you don’t have to drop the subframe to get the spring in, or use compressors like you were trying to. It means you have to undo the driveshaft nut and steering arm but that’s no issue. Would’ve saved you a lot of faff with the wishbone and you would have then been able to drill that pinch bolt out with the whole hub and strut assembly off the car.
@johnnysevengun
@johnnysevengun 3 ай бұрын
You must have missed the bit at the start where i said I would not take the hub or the steering joint off - mainly because they would be damaged and need replacing and then the whole lot would need tracking at the garage. The wishbone was easy to get off as I had taken it off to replace it before. As it was I didn't need the spring compressors - but lesson learnt.
@danielthomas7130
@danielthomas7130 3 ай бұрын
@@johnnysevengun Fair enough, perhaps it was no harder than what I did in that case. I did hear what you said, but don’t see what could be damaged. Since you took the lower wishbone off I would argue that you should have it tracked again anyway. That will have as much effect on the tracking as unbolting the track rod end from the hub would. My method involves unbolting the balljoint from the wishbone, but I realise lots of them are riveted and they wouldn’t be worth the hassle to drill out. Taking the balljoint out of the wishbone does have quite an effect on tracking though in fairness, whereas where you have unbolted the wishbone may have less.
