You aren’t going to market tie into the military. 🙂 Coke proudly sponsoring nuclear subs..... This is the bit of fluff to get the Execs of the a mentioned groups interested. I see would beating Cycle team maybe I’m interested, I see Farmer drives straw through field that’s fine but maybe not quite the same hook. I’m sure we will have adverts featuring those in due course but they only probably have 5 working cars and want maximum visibility ability for minimum budget. Difficult to sign people up to something you don’t have yet.

What would you like them to market tie into ?

Surely you need a Tesla caravan that has additional batteries to feed the towing car ? 🙂

Land Rover loses court case
mad_pete replied to Chicken Drumstick's topic in The New Ineos Grenadier
That’s funny. Land Rover our shape is so iconic we must protect it. Then most people from the picture are like it’a a Jeep right ? -
Land Rover loses court case
mad_pete replied to Chicken Drumstick's topic in The New Ineos Grenadier
I don’t think the fact the defender is out of production matters. Land Rover have gone oi that’s our box shape ! We are that ones that copied Willy’s Jeep, not you. and the judge is like dude it’s a box..... The defender I think had to change and if you are going to change it go all in. The new mini isn’t exactly very like for like for the old one in my opinion. -
Pump My Ride - Ninety on air
mad_pete replied to Turbocharger's topic in Modified Vehicle Builds & Special Projects
How did you make those mounts ? They are cool. I only held my Range Rover air springs On at one end. I think the shocks should cover it ? -
If it mounts at the back that would be great. I have a front mount one but seeing if I can get a shorter loom run. Thanks.

I have Nige’s lovely laser cut brackets but I need something to bolt them to at the back. 🙂
-
I don’t want the coil packs just the bracket. I’m um ing and ah ing too much at the moment. If I get a bracket that bolts to the engine hopefully I can bolt my VW coil packs to that and move on to the next thing.

Will this fit on the back of a 4.2 lse engine that I can then graft my VW packs to ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303070483855

Linear actuator for drill press table lift
mad_pete replied to mad_pete's topic in Tools and Fabrication
cable tie doesn’t work as the bracket pivots if the table doesn’t move down but I’ll leave it for now. now I need to tidy this up 🙂 -
Linear actuator for drill press table lift
mad_pete replied to mad_pete's topic in Tools and Fabrication
Right some progress. With basic brackets it all lines up very well. The power up and down is really really nice. I’ll look to pop a video up. Getting a slight twist on the table as it powers up and sometimes it needs a help to start coming down but I think a small power up then down sorts that. -
Look can everybody stop hijacking my thread with cheaper and easier solutions please ? just kidding looks a great bit of kit. 🙂

Thoughts and Musings on the Ineos Grenadier

They have already lost the court case. Apparently all 4x4s are boxy. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.cityam.com/jim-ratcliffe-wins-jaguar-land-rover-challenge-over-defender-shape/amp/ -
Thoughts and Musings on the Ineos Grenadier
mad_pete replied to Bowie69's topic in The New Ineos Grenadier
I think it’s very early to say Land Rover missed an opportunity here. An opportunity to rebuild a very old design almost exactly the same ? I think this has a market I would say let’s see some sales numbers in a year or so before we say who has missed the mark. -

And now for the ultimate test - Does it get its own forum section on here ? 🙂 -

I have the cubby. I’m thinking I want to kick the seats up at the back to get them more level. Not sure what angle the rx8 has them at but I’m might look to put the rx8 runners level with maybe some box section or spacer at the rear. maybe flat bar from the front with spacer at back. Lowest effort seems unlikely at this point. 🙂

Dummies guide to defender hinge repair needed
mad_pete replied to mad_pete's topic in Tools and Fabrication
Okay they turned up and they are britpart hinges. Took the drivers door off and the amount of play in the old hinges is what I would describe as “a lot”. I’ll put the new ones on which means working out how to paint them or getting someone who knows how to paint them to paint them. -
If you are infected you are spewing out virus with each breath and that’s before any coughs and sneezes. It’s going to be more and go further without a mask and be hanging around in the air. Inside, masks are way the to go. Everybody just keep their current germs to themselves.

Your mask is for other people (and theirs for you) as if you are infected stops the distance on aerosol virus. Indoors masks are the way to go. Gloves don’t buy you much your skin can’t do but help remind you to be careful touching your face.
