This is how they look when you get them ...not my image (I've deleted all the ones of making them unfortunately ).

There is a fair bit of mucking around to get them to this stage .Angle grinders and little wire brushes in a battery drill help a lot !

If you go ahead with doing this get back to me .You need just the right Clark Rubber seal around the top .I'll send you a cross section photo of the correct one . :D

Found it !! Here's the ADV thread on building them ....you need this ! BTW .... you can't get the rubber seal he shows in Oz .The hot boxes are called Thermite boxes if you want to look for other threads but the disposal shops call them ''hot boxes'' here .

Nice! I think loaded up bikes look so happy. I keep one of my R65 as a wall paper on several computers.
