Just to resurrect the squeak thread ....
you can hear mine on this clip...
Its not normally as bad as this - in fact on normal road driving I almost never hear it.
-
That monster Disco in the background is mad!
-
You can see how to do it here: http://www.discoweb.org/cbinstall/index.htm
That write up is missing a picture of the finished thing!

-
Perhaps a round piece that would almost seal the chamber if mounted horizontally - but mount is at angle. So its say welded below the flu hole and angled upwards from there.
-
No - the bought stoves I have had have a baffle plate that partially covers the flu hole on the inside of the boiler.
Its angled and fitted around the bottom half of the flu hole in the 'fire chamber' so to speak. Its so that the flames and smoke hit it and it absorbs the heat before the draught pulls the smoke round it and up through the flu.
-
Would it be worth fitting a baffle plate over the flu opening to absorb some more heat?
-
fantastic!
-
Its only thin panel I need to cut.
I think I will pick up a set of dividers and take my time and see what kind of a finish I can get with the drill and and a dremmel.

oops double post

that's true....
hmmm....

Thanks for the feedback
The holes need to be 60, 50, 38, 32, 22 and 19 mm - the bigger sizes in the Q-max are very expensive...
All the holes need to be in flat panels - but all would need to be done in situ, so that rules out the adjustable cutter.
Perhaps I can get grommets that mean I could use the larger hole sizes to replace some of the smaller ones.
-
I want to cut 4 or 5 holes in the Landy panels for various things - mostly different sizes.
Ideally I'd like to use the Q-Max Punch tools - Link - but it will cost me an absolute fortune and I can't foresee when I'll be using them again...
The other alternative seems to be tank cutters - like this Link - though I'm not sure what kind of finish I'll get?
Or lastly - and cheapest - are the adjustable cutters - Link
Any suggestions on what to use? I had hoped to be able to find a place to rent the Q-Max ones from, but haven't been able to.

What identifies it as a late model?
It looks just like mine to me.

Not mine Ralph!
I like the standard set up...

That's why I think it's worth checking the vin from the chassis - he can do that, be honest about the fake v5, and perhaps keep the vehicle (provided it's not a collection of parts)
-
Or you could fit the Mud consoles?
-
best case scenario is that the tuck is a legitimate one that's just had the number plate and V5 switched for a dodgy one.
If he can check the vin and find the original identity - then I'd think he has a strong chance of getting the proper V5 for the vehicle he really bought and just coming clean about the old plate.
-
Perhaps try this: vin
-
People who know this backwards will be along shortly I'm sure - but in the mean time...
Is there anyway he can find the chassis numbers and run them to find out what the 90 was ? - then check what its listed as.
He might fall lucky and be able to send for the V5 and swap its identity back. If the majority of the truck is from one 90 and its just been a plate swap then the original registration is probably just languishing ?
-
Check what there APR is - it may well be cheaper to pay back a credit card.
If the APR isn't bad - and you don't plan on cancelling your insurance - then you've no problems.
-
Maybe I didn't tighten it enough.
Ahh well - other people have lost more.
-
Looks pretty crunched at the front doesn't it..... eek
Another cheapo TD5!

Good off road then!?
It actually wouldn't fit down most of the lanes I use
