My channel is not a how to video channel its how i do things in my workshop that people will find helpful and useful there will be videos from any projects that am doing and video series
I will be uploading videos of model making 1/24 ,1/12 ,1/16 scale models from cars to motorbikes
i will be happy to review products that has to do with my channel and i feel will help my viewers
My channel will be more on the scale models but if we have somthing else in the workshop that i feel will make good content and my subs and viewers will find interesting i will up load to our channel
A DIN flare has a flat seat onto the nipple, whereas a SAE flare has a 45° seat onto the nipple. (different standard nipples, obvs) but what flare is required onto a DIN female nipple? As you can tell, I'm a bit confused! Thanks for the video, btw, helpful as it's introduced me to this combined DIN/SAE tool, but it seems that everyone making these pipe flaring guides are oblivious to the 2 different standards.
This video incorrectly shows a DIN flare being put into a double SAE (female). A DIN is a male and you have to use special unions to connect 2 DIN flares.
Your model looks fantastic. I have the exact same model to construct. I’ve come back to modelling after 40 years of doing other things. I’m retired now so wanted something to give me an interest or enjoyable hobby. I have enjoyed watching your series on this bike. But unfortunately the further into the videos I got, the less informative they were. More Timelapse and speed rather than useful information. I would have loved to see how you achieved the heat effects on the exhausts to name just one. I have subscribed. But if the rest of your videos are speed related I can’t see me hanging around. I think people visiting your videos, especially those of us that are either new to modelling or returning after many years would love to see more of your earlier detailed construction methods etc.
@@r2drone227 thank u for your lovely comment when build the bike I was not in the right frame of mind towards the end and then started just knocking out kits as u can see from the builds there after I not been at the bench since a week before Xmas 2023 as the videos took the enjoyment I had out of the hobby as all I wanted was to post on RU-vid as ppl didn’t really want to see more details on how to do things and as I always said there are better modellers out there then me. So moving forward I will be building soon but going back to how they was in the beginning of the yzr-r1 that was the first bike I built and looks stunning and got me the big to build things out of my comfort zone.I would like to hear anymore ways I could make improvements to the channel But plz stay around I will be going back into more detail and enjoying the builds If u r in the uk your more then welcome to have the Yzf-R1 free of charge With thanks Mrdiyhobbies
@@Mrdiyhobbies wow! Super fast reply. Thank you. I will of course stick around and see how things develop. I love it when you take your time and do a stage by stage construction video. Although I do understand that is not what everyone wants. Thank you for the offer of the YZF but I’m sure there is someone out there far more deserving than me. And hopefully, when mine is finished it will look as good as yours. Keep up the good work. I will comment in the future if that’s ok? Only with constructive requests and much deserved compliments. Dave.
@@r2drone227 Dave comment away mate I will take any comments on board and make changes to the vids but stage by stage will be back like I said your more then welcome to have the yzr Is there anything else u would like to see build
@@Mrdiyhobbies ah! Well seeing as you are asking…….. the next two models I have bought myself are the Airfix 1/24th scale Supermarine spitfire MK.IXc and the Revell 1/32nd scale Harrier GR.1 Any help on either of those would be gratefully received😁
@@r2drone227 I never built a plan but I have a euro fighter black jack 1/48 which I will be doing a build series but it’s going to be a new learning curve for me lol
I was going to buy one of those tools. Thanks for showing. I am going to stick with the old way, because that tool is nice but over complicated, and takes longer. Time is money. ;)
BTW, you can use the clamp jaws in the body to straighten the end of the pipe you want to flare. Put the bent section into the jaw so that the it rises at 90° to the jaw, fit the other half and tighten the clamp bolts.
But you're mating a DIN single flare with an SAE double flare. Not recommended. As far as I know you can only join DIN flares using a double female junction piece that you screw the two male connectors into.
Hello again, hope you're well. now, I have taken off the display but cannot find replacement bulbs for the six little lights that are faint on my display. I live in Cape Town where very few of those cars where imported. Any suggestions where I can find them?
That was excellent. I thought I had to change the whole display. Thanks. Do you have any advice about changing the ECU? There was a short which blew the ECU and I have bought a second one compatible which needs to be fitted into the car.
Nice video, To be on the safe side it’s probably best to put a disclaimer that the perfect mating of the DIN and SAE flare types are just a side effect are not intended for joining pipes together. I see you have noted this but just in case viewers go away thinking this is how it’s done.
Hello I was wondering could you help I have the same kit as yours, but when I make a double flare SAE it makes the flare ok but it squashes the pipe out just behind the flare then the flare nut won't push to the end against the flare, I think the pipe I'm using is 3/16 not sure if it's copper or copper nickel if that matters. Thanks
🤔Copper is way too soft REAL dangerous for ANY brake line's always use REAL stainless steel for any bright lines always got to have a REAL GOOD flour tool for ANY stainless steel brake line's...
Copper is not recommended. Copper nickel, steel or stainless is recommended. Not sure of the UK but many states in the US have regulations for licensed mechanics on what they can use for brake line repairs and copper isn’t one of them.
For safety always do a double flare ....and get yourself a decent pipe straightening tool ....brakes are worth the money. I have a similar tool but I've got a few LASER tools and are pretty decent. Have bought SEALEY tools but never again ... ridiculous prices .. ridiculous spare parts prices and all the SEALEY tools I've bought have been crap to be blunt and just a warning to other watchers ...don't buy their pipe flaring kit. It doesn't work ..is shit and the dies are awful .... Saw some other comments and yes get a decent camera setup mate. Can't see half the video ....good luck on the focus. Just going to replace the lines on my ST220. Always a good idea to use nickel conifer pipe not just copper......quite a bit stronger and the tool will still flare nicely 👍🏻
I have the exact same tool and line as you to make double flares but when I use the first part of the die my line starts twisting even with lots of grease and tightening the block/clamp. Have you seen this before? Any advice? Thanks
@@Mrdiyhobbies this is brand new line and yes I only have the grease at the tip of the tool. I’m thinking it’s poor quality line..maybe too soft.. so I ordered more from a reputable brand. Hopefully that’s fixes it. Thanks
