Looks like they're going to have to go with only 2nd hand uniforms this year, and share their street directories. Makes you wonder where all that revenue from the fines actually goes doesn't it! Good old Bracksie, what a champ

hmmm, we really should help their cause.

...maybe i can donate them a pair of bald tyres I have sitting in the garage. Every little bit helps. Hell, i've got a few slightly chewed pens around here they can have ;) I can see the campaign now:

"Please give so they can bust"

any other suggestions?

ok - i didnt say this.. but at a victorian police station, it was found out that the police car tires were being changed at a rate of 4 per week (with 10 cars in their lot).... so that means on avarge, each car was getting new tires every 10 weeks....

found out the boys had a deal with the local tirepower where they would say it had a "puncture" - but just give them the new one.... so all their personal cars had fresh tires.. nice hey!

lol.. don't laugh i saw a couple of them riding around box Hill, yellow jackets and the rest. Its not quite the same scary police presence when they're commuting around on bicycles though. But well when its all the government will give them, desperate times call for desparate measures.

THink they blew the entire budget on those fancy blue TOG cars, so all they could afford after that was a few bicycles...ha!

and they obviously care so much about the environment issues, giving out those EPA's when such other developments are going on:

Well today i saw the bicycle police in full action down in Station St, Box Hill... there were about 4 of them standing around on bikes defecting (i think) a poor asian guy in a black 32 gts-t. I wish i had a camera, it was really quite pathetic.

    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
    • So unsafe would you say now?   little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting 
    • Dissimilar metal corrosion. Aluminium is less noble than steel/iron, and will corrode preferentially when in contact with it and a conductive solution (ie, wet road salt). Tends to suggest that those brackets should be made in steel for a shitty climate like the UK.
