Hi Phil Mine is 160 mm from the plate to the center of the hole and my new bungee is 12 inches not sure why you aren't getting the tension but mine nose leg is off a 750 and is 30mm higher on the bungee attatcment tubes ,mine is real tight l just hope it is not to tight . cheers Geoff.

Cant beat a harrier jump jet love to have one. -
Hi it needed a rebuild because hard landings have bent and split the fire wall main undercart spring is badly bent needs replacing ,the nose leg has worn a large grove where it rubs metal to metal the slats have been removed and the attachment plates have been cut off, l will pull the wings apart to replace the attachment plates and also do the wing updates. The list goes on and on so l have decided to strip it down and start again what l though was a bargain is going to cost a bit more than l though but l enjoy doing it so l am happy to do so . Because it is the first of its type here it also needs updating .

Hi Winsor l have had mine working for about nine months l have two cells working they draw 25watts you can regulate the wattage by the electrolyte concentration l use distilled water and caustic soda l carry three lites of electrolyte l have only topped it up every three months and put about 500 mls. The hydrogen gas passes through white vinegar to neutrilise the caustic then feed into the air intake my cuts in when l push the throttle l run my cruiser on cooking oil diesel mix and hydrogen and sometimes LP gas as well. here is a diagram of how it is produced cheers Geoff.

Hi l run hydrogen fuel cells on my diesel 80 series land cruiser l often thought of putting one on 912 .
