@@LordClunk hey, I’ll check with the owner (I’ll chase her up), I think they are just ends of old reg plates, for the kids to know which one they owned (just my guess, as that had 4-5 of them back in 1989)…

@@iwb316 haha, doh - I see it’s Hampshire, I’ll amend that :). Great spot

@@problemchild1976 hey there, I reckon you go for it if you want it on and the original look . You can’t go back once you cut it, buy…there not rare parts and you’ll pick up another for £60/70 fairly easily. I expect someone will also 3D /resin cast in the future . To cut it - I unscrew the two halves, then you can place it onto the fork area and mark the caliper area with a pencil, then just cut with a jigsaw and find tooth blade.

@@poacher9118 hey there. So the family brought them over from Ireland, but I reckon it was just so the boys knew who owned which one. I’ve asked the old owners and she’s going to ask her aged mother in law to see if she remembers the history. I’ll post a new video on these tonight, as I just spent 3 hours cleaning them

Hello there! I’m going to leave the number plates on, as it’s part of their history (and in the original 1989 photo I have ).

Really looking into it you never know original owner wld probably be interested in it

Hi there, let me know precisely what you need as I have sold much, but also got other parts now to sell (all at very reasonable prices as I’m not in this for serious cash gains ).

@@griceyboy hi brought my first c5 yesterday off ebay as a fixer upper the parts which I can see are missing are rear lights and the boot Part which I believe are broken and need replacing so far are the motor which I think might be seized (I think its the older brown one cause some of the gearbox clips are broken) the brushes plastic mounts are missing/broken, the brake handles the left ine with the handbrake is seized I believe the right is missing Thats as far as I've got so far

@@darthlovejoy3811 hey, Congrats on the purchase! You’ll have fun! Sadly, the rear light and boot are two of the three most expensive parts (in fair order ), boots tend to be £100 , rear lights tend to be £100 for a nice one or £30/50 for a cracked/chipped one (they chip very easily in the corners). Your motor isn’t worth refurbishing, best option is to find a used one that’s complete, and rebuild that - often £70/100 . If your gearbox is still good, then keep that as that’s a rare part. Get on my Facebook forum - (Sinclair C5 Owners) and post photos/wanted advert on there and you might get some offers . But sadly all these bits are the valuable bits. Handlebar levers are common , except the switch bracket . You’ll find these and i know I have at least one side (one has a handbrake, the other side is plain).

Hey! Yes indeed, great to see you and Thankyou for finding the channel and commenting. I just uploaded a short video of the car, that I took today.

Hey, after I did mine a couple of times in the Ultrasonic cleaner, it now works normally and no leaks (I do check it occasionally as it’s easy to access on the Dmc engine ). Good luck!

@griceyboy nice

Hey, I didn’t fix that. I suspect they all leak some air there , purely by design. The injector upgrades seal system was my best purchase, the DeLorean Industries one, it’s a very good bit of kit.

Once I cracked the seize on that large bearing, it spinned like a beauty. Good luck with yours :)

I’ll be selling the grey prototype ones (Uk/europe ). As I don’t need them as my C5s are all done.

Hello So I buy from either seller RayZing or Uncle Jerry (both are the same company /person). Buy the cheaper grey one, not the remote control one (has weird green lighting ). Here we go : Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! ￡49.39 | RayZing Men Boots Back To The Future USB Rechargeable Led Shoes for Man and Women Fashion Casual Shoes Glowing Desert Boots Men a.aliexpress.com/_EIH9SCL I’ve had about 15-18 pairs over the last two years and every pair has been the clear sole version. They are never perfect, as hand made, but always good to upgrade.

Thank you!! The 3d prints of "MAG" the "NIKe" logo. Do you take them on AliExpress?

@@Mik2yout hey there, the rear Nike Mag letters are from Graham G, who is on the Nike Mag Repair Facebook group - you’ll see his posts and name there . But from him , he’s also sells a Mk3 Swoosh logo which is prefect.

@@griceyboy Thank you, I looked but the soles don't have a lot of splashes

@@Mik2yout that’s right / none of the £50 economy ones do, only the £600/1100 ones have the speckles. It’s so that they can’t be sued for copyright from Nike. Luckily , watch my other video / you can paint the shoes for about £11 in outlay, plus 2-3 hours of effort/skill. I have a few videos on this, watch my recent ones as I got the colour right on those. Plus i have posts on the Nike mag forum on which paints I used. The economy shoes are all about a base shoe, for you to upgrade to the spec you want . There’s many great parts now, I personally sell the upgraded Bubbles that you could fit.

Hey there, good evening. I’m on Messenger as Paul Grice, and you can also find all my posts on the Facebook group “Nike Mag Repair Upgrade “, so do join the page as loads of info on there to :).

Hello , he sells these new, I know him well and I buy parts from him to fix them if they go wrong .

It’s a very quick one to - so much better than my c5 with a worn out motor.

Hey, yeah this one is perfect , honestly it works spot on for the Impreza and my DeLorean wheel bearings. This is the item, cost me £42 a few years ago : www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235138004281?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=igvgcb18rui&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=AV7gEowcSUi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@griceyboy Awesome many thanks buddy , love watching your wr1 videos gives me inspiration and nudge to sort mine too 👍🏼

Hey, lucky the c5 does 15mph, which is 24.14kph . But the weight is heavy, with the battery (if that’s included in the rule).

@@griceyboy yeah, battery is in the weight too. If you had built the vehicle yourself, you could use a tiny main battery, and add an auxiliary battery which doesn't add to weight, but per regulations, they just go by what ever manufactures says it weighs, and that is over 30 kg even without a battery for the C5 :/

Good job these fall under electrically assisted pedal cycles,

@@79ferret this is good knowledge as I’d be bloody surprised if you needed insurance on a C5!

Do you have a source on that? Can't find anything on Google.

Thankyou- Robin used it today for the first time in 25 years, and he loved it.

Hey, let me know in English :)

I know, sad to do that but they aren’t designed to be fixed when certain things break. This is due to how the shoes are assembled / the motor and lacing mechanism just isn’t serviceable unless you take the entire rubber sole of the upper fabric part. But then the loom is short and in the way.

It was a great time! StarWars and Action Force! Love it all

Hey there, Good afternoon from the Uk. Ping me on Messenger (Paul Grice), or find me all over the Nike Mag Repair Upgrade Facebook forum :)

Hey. No- sounds like a lot of work and space is very tight inside these shoes :)

I’m actually going to do a video on the Pitfalls/negatives on these shoes. Just to pre-warn people I’m getting two reportedly mint pairs from Italy today, all faulty . So you’ll see these on my channel over the next few days….!(soon as they clear customs ).

@@griceyboy so let me ask...with your expertise with this shoe, if you wanted to create an auto lace feature of your own....would you be able to?

@@sigmaroyalty3883 hello there, So I did create my own version , it’s on an old video from a few years ago. It worked pretty well, was the same sort of concept as the v4s, installed into an AliExpress shoe. But it wasn’t wearable as the mechanism is to big and the AliExpress shoe isn’t deep enough to fit a mechanism into. So it’s certainly doable as a non wearable item , a fun show piece if you can’t justify the v4 costs. The v4s are amazing in one way, the actual fabric shoe , but the electronics are just unreliable and the shoe of course, isn’t designed to be taken apart or fixed . The seller should adjust a few things such as placing the battery and cabling into an accessible box under the inner soles. Plus a few other changes. The fault I found on Stanley’s v4 motor luckily seems unique so far, really bad soldering which fried the connector - luckily this seems a one off as this fault has absolutely killed the lacing aspect in that shoe - only way to get to the motor is major surgery and not something I’d do unless it was a total project shoe.

Hey, it’s a good idea , but finding someone with a similar used pair of the same size 3.1s is hard to locate. And for me personally, I don’t want a used pair of 4s, Vs my mint pair of 3.1s. Also doing swaps has that element of risk as someone has to post their pair first to the other person. Its just annoying that you really do have to take the entire shoe in half to get to the motor , as the mechanism is literally surrounding the motor (to protect it from the weight of the user). Sad times ;)

Hey there. Sadly I can’t tell you that as I did the bike up for a friend of mine . But they look spot on , I’ve seen them on eBay when I’ve looked for switches recently for other projects. Could be a 10mm switch, but you want the type that you hold to operate, as opposed to it clicking on and clicking off on a 2nd press . Hope this helps a little .

Hello, to buy these new in the Uk, they cost £1050 from AirMagKing on Instagram. I repair shoes and I build custom AliExpress versions (a useable and much cheaper version). The v4 auto-laces are the coolest , but most unreliable.

@@griceyboy oh ok

@@griceyboy I just purchased a pair of V3 replicas from Airmagking.
