Father’s day

This day was a Fathers day in 2009.  My wife and kids had their tasks, therefore I was alone at home and enjoying the repair of my car in a garage.

When I finished my work in a garage, I found a parcel was arriving to me.
I opened it and found…



Wow!  Its great!!!
It was a father's day gift from my eldest daughter living in Nagoya.
A handmade tinplate sign designed by my eldest daughter!!!
(She was studying at the University to be a designer.)

It was the most surprising and happiest gift I ever had in my life.
I was a really happy fathers day for me. ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎

Clutch master cylinder overhaul #2: tough match

I disassembled the removed clutch master cylinder. And I found that the piston was heavily rusted. I tried to hit it with a hummer , Pushed the piston using the vise clamp like this.  However , the piston was heavily sticking by rust and it could not to be moved today.

Tentatively , I would spray the rust-penetration lubricant from both sides of the piston and try again in a few days. If it doesn ’ t work , I would give up the overhaul and order the new part.

While painting the fuel tank , I repaired the torn rubber boot of the parking brake wire. I guessed it didn ’ t cost high because it was small rubber part.  But I wanted to try the repair method I read on the magazine article before. This was the condition before the repair.  The rubber was torn apart and separated almost. I used this self-adhesive type butyl tape.  I pasted lots of small pieces of the butyl tape on the back side of the rubber boot.  As time goes by , these tapes would melt and stick together.  After this I applied plenty of adhesive “ Super X Black ” on the rubber boot.  On the magazine of MOTO MAINTENANCE , I read the article that the motorcycle seat was repaired with this method.  So , I wanted to try it. After drying 1 day , it became like this....
