Cold galvanizing isn't really galvanizing. It is just a zinc rich paint which if you use a good one will help but don't think you'll get anything like the protection and longevity of hot dipped galv.
You won't get the same bond at the steel/zinc interaction point like you do with hot-dip.

I want to say there are some brazed joints in the door frames from memory... I could be talking rubbish however.
@Junglie They'll show a per ton etc price, but the minimum order price/quantity will be less than that.

Only because I ended up looking for it the other week after a facebook argument

Don't forget max length of trailer must be a max of 7m and that's from the tow couple to the rear
Last time I looked, it didn't include the A-frame.

If you're using the concrete as the floor of the shed put a damp proof membrane down first, nothing more unpleasant than a damp shed. Obviously if you're putting a timber floor over it no problem.

For the miniscule cost of it, well worth it!

If you can beg/borrow/steal another mixer you'll have a more relaxed time having another mix started before tipping the first one.

Stephen will have them knocked out by tea time

Container is 2.2 tonnes max but could be 1.8 tonnes
Trailer is 0.7 tonnes
0.7 plus 1.8 is 2.5 trailer is 3.5 rated as is the Range Rover so I nave 1 left over. even at 2.2 tonnes I have 0.6 tonnes to play with.
I doubt the bradley flatbed is that light, and I think it would be stupid trying to put a container on an ifor car trailer (assuming it's a CT177 type one). You're also unlikely to know the weight until it's too late.

I’ve been thinking about this - standard delivery wouldn’t work for me I want it in a field. A bale trailer and a telehandler are the obvious choice if I can coordinate arranging it all ..
Depending on the time of year you would probably be OK with a hiab lorry. Otherwise a few quid to a neighbouring farmer to move it should be easily arranged. Even if it was a hiab delivery to their yard and then dropped to you.

I live in Scotland and the thriftiness has worn off on me over the last 60 years lol. Also locating it on site will not be that simple.
If the container is 2.2 tonnes with the additional weight of the trailer I should still have nearly a tonne to play with. The logs would also help with the unloading and allow be to centre the load on the axle as I would have 1/2 metre either end.
Not sure how you'd have a ton to play with unless your trailer is only 300kg which I can't see happening!

The LT77 was designed for ATF.... whether the recommendation changed later on I'm not sure. I never had any real issues with mine and ATF in either hot or cold temps, just a slightly notchy 1-2 when cold. I'd ask Beaumont's what they'd recommend.

Simple, by really nicely executed there!

Depends how bad it is.... a good wire brushing can often bring stuff up well enough.

Ooo nice 48v! That will charge up quickly!
My solar owes me around £300-350 and my lithium, battery monitor and 3kw inverter were £1000 which should cover my needs!

I won't put the other name on here

good to see an update!
For the photos.... mine does it occasionally, and the only work-around I've found is to rotate them in a random orientation on the phone, save them, then correct the orientation and save again. It's like the rotation information isn't being passed over when the image is uploaded.

@Eightpot thank you very much
Feel better knowing I didn't imagine it 🤣😬

It’s a good habit to bleed them all… unless you’ve only just done it. That way you’ve got more fresh fluid in the system.

ahh sorry! It will likely be the cost.

Maer have no stock of RHD bulkheads anyway, though they do certainly look good, and stainless is an interesting choice over galvaniused..
I'm looking at SP as what seems to be good quality for a decent price - any horror stories before I make a terrible mistake?
I don’t see any issues with Stainless over Galv.

Exactly, that's what I said...lol
Major diameter - minor diameter = X. X divided by 2 gives depth of cut
Regards Stephen
Oh...all measurements with a vernier...well its sort of a tape measure ...lol
Regards Stephen
Ahhh I see. So the cutter is the right profile for that particular spline.

I take it those weren't yours in the pictures earlier...
If you can get a shake on I may be comming down south to pick some tyres up...
Regards Stephen
@dangerous doug Shout if another lunchtime meetup helps get the shafts any closer to Stephen's route south
. Assuming a long side shaft is still small enough for a mini boot?

Err tape measure.........
Regards Stephen
Ha, I'm meaning towards the Centre line of the shaft.... the cut depth rather than length of the spline if that makes sense?
-
That sir, is bloody fantastic
. Possible Silly question as I've never done any spline cutting.... how do you know how deep to go?

Is the new pan galv? if not, get it in the order!
One note about galv stuff..... they often want it blasted before hand unless its somewhere that specifically mentions that they blast first themselves.
