selfwrighters dead again both speedos are blown, blew the first board not sure why, put the spare in and that blew 3 tracks when under load but worked fine on the bench, so repaired that and it went again in the same way as the first.. not sure whats wrong with them.. think its a job for Mr gamble when he gets chance.
I think the fault is just as much mechanical as electrical, It sounded like a problem with the selfwrighter gearbox, took it apart and found the last stage in the worms can effectively pop out and jam up, i think its that which is causing the motor to stall which blows the controller.. Its an easy fix for the gearbox, a nylon spacer or a circlip on the shaft. still anoying thought because its going to be another event were its not working again... .. its only a guess though, that might not of been the problem at all. Ill find out when i get the controllers back from Dave.
..on the up side the disc and the drive are working spot on
got all the bits for my beetleweight now. going to start machining the motor mounts at work tomorow and cut out the basic chassis over the week when i get time, Going to make it all from ti hopefully.

As a side issue, i notice you've got no holes in your socks. Where do you buy them cos the only ones i've found which dont get holes in really quickly are for marks and spencers and they're really expensive.
