C5 #2

What do you call a group of C5s?

Just picked up the 2nd C5 for repair from a customer.

Like the others, it had flat tires. I have pumped them up and they haven't gone flat.

I also need a battery for this one. Will see if I can build a pack from Lithium Headway cells. 3P4S. If I can find some spent lead acid batteries of the correct size and terminals, I may empty the lead and acid, and build a charger, batteries and BMS into the case.

This C5 has less corrosion however based on the floor repair, has been well used.

For #1 I bough a 1/2" UNF nut to lock the bearing cone in place. Unusual thread but it is correct.

I also bough some reproduction high vis flags.

To do:

• Replace BMX Tires with slicks from C5alive
• General clean up.
• Re-Fit mirrors. 
• Fit new decals when available from C5Alive
• Replace brake pads. $10 for 4.
• Replace all rusted steel screws with stainless.
• Worn drive gear. This could be a show stopper.
• Replace handlebar and clamp nut and bolt.
• Boot clips for both C5s
• Belts
• High Vis Rubbers from Chas

Very tidy.
