TANGE HOT HEART

[Gashead]

Anyone bought one and drilled a hole through the heart to make it look like the Kuwi version 

[daz bmx it!]

Nick,I think Gmac did one?

I've seen it suggested, and i've also seen it mentioned if you do this you end up with a hole that's too big and not in the right place. but since you are looking at a replica, I reckon it'd be ok.

iv bought a tange hotheart am gonna give it a miss in drilling the heart out, its easy and possible, the hole on kuwahara is slightly bigger than 1p and its 22mm. its easy to drill it out but i just rather keep the heart as there is more ET kuwahara than the heart frame itself. if you wanna drill it out to make a replica thats grand but if you wanna sell it on just make sure you say it isnt a genuine ET frame

Nick....i'd stay with the heart as you've already got a proper ET     they're lovely frames IMO and i'me sure it'll look the mutz nutz mate!   

i got a nice ols Mach one GT if you want it?

Don't get me wrong - not trying to do a Kuwi ET - got one already

I want to do something a bit different with some parts I have that will look like nothing seen before, however I don't like the heart !

I would not drill and sell on as if it was an ET as the frame is different any how

have to say i love all Kuwis!  i'm not really into the old stuff at the mo but i wouldn't mind one of those Kuwis!

it's a totally different frame. a proper hot heart is full cro mo, an ET is trimoly. or to put it another way, half mig'd brick. full tig'd flyweight
