What are we looking at tig welding? Sorry if I missed it.

I can comment on stress releiving welds to these things once I know what process if it is the same as I have done.

The distance the paint burned off is real small where I put the yellow dot. The metal these frames are made of pulls a lot tig welding often putting another bead where I put the orange sort of neutralizes, not sure if I have done that for these projects but I do that rather often.

very nice job on the pegs

 

[hva-factory]

the pieces are: 84/85 WR lc 400 frame, 85 CR fork, aluminum gastank, 98 TE body six speed, 85 TC cylinder and head, delorto 40 mm, magura fatbar.
First step was to modify the frame. Cut the two rods above the carb and replace them into two bows for place for the carb. Then cut a lot of ballast. The connectionrod from left footpeg to end of lower toptube is missing at 4 stroke generally. Placed a small gusset insteadView attachment 35826

Hi Jens.

Have a look at our alloy 510 airboxes. I have just put one in an 84 / lc twinshock frame - see the 410 resto page on this site...

RUF Said
"No Jens I am Italian but LOVE german stuff and people !!
I had a real RUf Posche 3.2, a rocket on the street !!!
I was trained at Sachs Factory in Schwainfurth when I was young and from then I enjoy working around the best mechanic....
I know Kaltemberg because I bought a frame from them and I am making a copy of their racing Husky....with a standard engine.
The engine has been prepared by Flavio Solda' in Italy. You know him ?"


Do you have pics of your RUF Porsche ?

 

[RUF]

Michael,
I have some old pics in Italy.
Unfortunately I sold my Ruf almost 20 years ago in a moment of financial depression for me....Every time I look at those pics I understand how stupid I was...Mine was a 911 Speedtser 1989...so beautiful car, very fast and unique.....

[Jens Ries]

yeah ... this is my Porsche I drove 40 years ago ...an old 906 ... always the fastes car on the track

 

[2premo]

those were interesting days
being able to buy cars that were invented for the track but modified to be street legal for FIM rules
Ford had a GT40 in that era that was also street legal
with the emphasis on legal, neither had great road habits but were fun cars in their eras
did yours have the 6cyl or 8cyl

 

[Jens Ries]

2premo...sorry ... but this was a joke ... never had a Porsche ... it s to expensive for me to drive one .. although in Germany the country of the car addicts ... the photo above is a slot car, like the one I had during the seventies
today I had a dirty stressy job .... welding the pipes inside the frame

 

[Jens Ries]

@ fran...k.
the is the burner I use ... with special sticks made for welding the cromoly material from the frame

 

[Michel Dufayard]

What sort of wheel do you use with your swingarm ( with clamp welded ) ?

 

[justintendo]

im guessing late 80s drum setup?
