On the way home from a client today, I was in the left turn lane, making good time, but slowing for the turn. I felt something strike my right arm pretty hard,...
I'm experiencing weak braking performance and have discovered that my pads are pretty much done for. I may have to re-bleed the brakes too, but I'll be saving...

Thank you very much, Andy! I can see why I was getting my searches screwed up. The dimensions I was measuring did not include the locking hole-tab and the...
I just discovered in my files that I have a very comprehensive repair manual with specific part numbers for all of the above items. It makes things loads...
Hi Fred, The disks were originally 10" diameter and then turned down. The ones I found were about $40 each. If you find a source for less let me/us know. When...
I picked up the bearings today. The local shop had a problem with the order, so I got four bearings as ordered, two seals as ordered and only two of the four...
Since the bearing shop was a block away from harbor freight, all things chinese, I stopped in and purchased a bearing puller. This one expands within the bore...
Hello Fred etal, The pad should under no circumstances overlap the disk. This causes a small ridge to be developed on the pad as it wears down. This ridge then...
That's a curious development indeed. When I received the Gizmo, the pads had a ridge where it extended beyond the perimeter of the disk, but the previous...
Yes I meant the disks. From: gizmo-users@yahoogroups.com [mailto:gizmo-users@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of fred_dot_u Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 2:50 AM...
A package on my doorstep the other day. Tolomatic on the side. I picked it up and my first thought was, "for ten inches of steel disks times two, this box...
I spent two hours today, removing the old kingpin bushings, greasing up the new ones and putting the Gizmo back on the road. New disks installed, new pads, new...
That is great, Fred, The Gizmo is easy to work on. Carl & crew did an awesome job on designing an easy to work on vehicle. Did you check/change the wheel...
I was charged $91.00 for the pair, and then paid a local shop $63.00 for the machining. I did not check or change the rear wheel bearing. I read the process...
Hi All, I recently acquired a Gizmo which we went through and fixed with a new belt and some turning light. It's in very good condition with 9750 miles on it ...
I finally have a replacement for the original NORM circuit on my Gizmo. Mine started acting flaky and would leave me stranded frequently until I installed an...
Your blog entries are great reading, David. The headlight fix looks quite professional. Since you had to make the mold, do you have plans to sell a kit to...
Thanks, Fred. I have a few more pictures to upload now that I've painted the aluminum plate black so it won't show around the headlight. The idea was to make...
Hi Carl, et al, I need to replace the badly worn plastic type sleeve which goes around the bolt on each side of the main body where the top latches latch on....
I just took a quick look at http://www.smallparts.com/ <http://www.smallparts.com/> and they have a number of different types of tubing, some harder than...
I realize there aren't many of us Gizmo drivers active in this group. Perhaps we are all out driving our Gizmos! Since the trigger throttle is somewhat...
I noticed this because every time I open the hatch I see it. Also, I'm trying to get rid of the squeaks. I'll check out the link to see what I can find. Also,...
I generally use my index finger. Sometimes I use my middle finger but being a trumpet player I've never had any trouble with the sensitive throttle. Also, now...
We found these small tubes in an industrial supply catalogue and actually adjusted the size of the metal bolt so they would fit. We were trying to reduce the...
If all else fails, one could purchase a small quantity of heat shrink tubing for a reasonable price, cut to length and then heat it in place. The wear factor...
I hope you find them. Let me (us) know when you find them. I didn't think to get some when I got the Gizmo as they were showing some wear then. Now they are...
As of Wednesday May 20, 2009, Daytona Beach has collected from the sky twelve inches of rain. It seems that the roads are that deep in the water, but that...
