    Ours is M&S premier and if I remember correctly the garage cover is unlimited. Mike

    Both my blade and vee block were picked up cheap at sodbury if I remember correctly. Mike

    A chassis swap last year turned into new: battery box, front edge of rear floor, passenger C post, repairs to both rear sills and a patch up of the drivers C post. I feel your pain. Mind the truck is nearly 40 years old so needs some loving from time to time. Mike

    This is how I've bent 6mm plate. It gives a nice crisp bent but your limited by the size of the press, however to you can achieve longer bends than the tooling by shifting the work piece along and taking several bites. I've since got a section of vee block to use underneath. Mike

    I'm saddened to hear that, but hope you will remain on here. Mike

    He had a habit of acting before thinking but we all loved him for it. RIP Mike

    The last set I bought were bearmach I think, they were the rubber ones not the harder plastic type. They've lasted a whole two months. I thought at the time these fit well and are nice and flexible....clearly that didn't help either. I will get some gen ones a see how they compare. Mike

    HD flanges are beyond my budget bearing in mind I have two trucks that would need doing. To add to the confusion it's a drum Salisbury, a disc converted Salisbury, a 10 spline front and a 24 spline front which makes ordering hard work. I think I'll just get a pack of gen caps and just replace them as they split. Mike

    I've tried both the plastic and rubber ones can't remember makes. Not tried heating them though, good tip. Mike

    Recently I've gone through rather a lot of half shaft dust covers (frc4377). They only manage a few months then spilt. Genuine ones are a little pricey but I'll get them if need be. Has anyone found any after market ones that are any good. Mike

    Not helping either of you. Mind not sure that's a practical camper not that, that's ever stopped me. Mike

    I for one would love to see a rebuild thread on the Esarco. Mike

    Careful..... Mike

    It's only a 6x4 so completely useless. However if it was £5k it would be worth ditching the tipper and fitting a camper body. Then if you figure out proper 6x6.......then it could be very cool. Mike

    You can also roll stuff backwards and forwards with a pit which can be useful. Mike

    That looks like it could work out fine. Probably easier for me on the Sunday but could probably do Thursday evening without to much trouble. I've pm'd mat so as long as he's happy I'll pay him and we can sort the rest out as we go. Thanks, mike

    If your building the workshop a pit is a no money option and can be built with proper stairs/ramp to get in and out. Ramps are more versatile especially 2 post but 4 post is definitely safer with 2ton+ of land rover. Mike

    As long as mat is happy with this it looks like a plan. I can definitely get it from fridge and possibly on the A303 depending on timings (though I probably shouldn't do the 26th as it's my daughter's birthday ) Mike

    It's this one: there's no rush so if we can get this to hang together that would be fantastic. I can collect from fridge or Salisbury ish without to much trouble. Mike

    In my infinite wisdom I'm interested in mat2495's welder. Is anyone able to get it a bit closer to Southampton. Or collect it from Matt and hang on to it till I can get down to collect it (likely about a month). Mike
  21. miketomcat
    Any/all of the above trips float my boat. I hope that someday I able to do some of them preferably with friends but happy to be just me, the wife and or kids. Mike
  22. miketomcat
    When do we go. I told a friend I'd happily drive to aus just to turn around and drive back rather than go to Disneyland. He thought I was nuts (he may have a point). Mike
  23. miketomcat
    That's the one. Mike
  24. miketomcat
    As long as the push rod and plastic clip has stayed on the arm you'll be fine. Mike
  25. miketomcat
    That's britpart for you, it will mate up to there mid pipe I expect. If the socket fits the pipe I'd re-drill the flange to suit or take it back and get one from another source. Mike
