youll need to let me know about the compressor fairly soon, its going in the skip soon, so if you want it, ill shove it in a corner somewhere. its nothing special, its small, old and done a lot of hours. but it works.
hey shackelton..
ive got a compressor you can have for nowt, and a welder that im sure i can get you VERY cheap. problem is im in cornwall, which is a PITA to get to from ireland.
pm me if youre interested.
the latter, FF, its gasless, which isnt great to start with, but its wirefeed rate never stays constant and i have a feeling the voltage moves around a lot (just my observations from watching him weld) dont get me wrong, this is in no way a slur on his welding, the best welder in the world wouldn't improve on his welding with that kit.
unfortunately ill be in a lorry so my route will be m4-m5. i COULD do the m3 but add on the extra miles to kelmarsh it would be over 100miles added to the trip! at 20mpg id rather not, especially if someone else could help
for those of us that haven't met you..... you might want to expand on where your inventing shed resides. i looked on google maps but couldnt find Chateaux Hell
im going from cornwall to luton on saturday.... not all that far from kelmarsh so i MIGHT be able to help
yeah but... buy a better welder than his! the guys fab work for making panels etc is excellent, he is so very let down by weld quality. and its ALL down to his machine.
^^^ this. if you arent scared of the electronics, they are brilliant value. i loved mine. i didn't love the fuel economy.... but i did choose a v8 lol.
umm well....
coated the entire inside of (a BRAND NEW) dishwasher with a black deposit (aluminium oxide?) when i washed a alu cylinder head.... cleaning the smooth metal surfaces off was easy, but all the fiddly little bits on the trays? no chance..... i thought 2 tabs would clean it better
all ignition fed sources are killed when you switched off. if youre on a feed that kills when it starts then itll kill when you switch ign off too.
your only viable option is a feed direct from battery. its actually easier than from the back of the fusebox or ignition switch anyway.
find live whilst cranking(acc live goes off whilst cranking but obviously ecus etc need it on all the time) (feed to the stop solenoid on diesels will do) and and tap into that.
i think helicoils are stainless.
from your description its torn a damaged and corroded thread out of the bolthole, so id just helicoil it and carry on. helicoils are in general stronger than the original.
check out nationwide flexplus package bank account. it what i use for recovery, full euro cover, any car, no age limit. plus a few extras like travel insurance thrown it. its a very good deal.
ive used cheap chinese head units, double din with sat nav ipod dock etc.it worked very well, as long as you didnt want to listen to the radio. it would pick up to radio 1 and two in ideal conditions and nothing at all the rest of the time ...
air ratchet or air impact gun, if the latter i strongly recommend one of 5ese

silly high max torque and really erganomic. very controllable and very robust. i defo dont regret buying mine, spins mazda rx8 crank bolts out in 2 seconds flat, and thats usually brakerbar and full lenght scaffold pole territory.
it is. sterile medical superglue, not superglue made in a random chinese factory with no consideration of hygiene and possible contaminants that could poison you
thats just super glue with a activator.(any superglue will interact with that activator if your short of glue but have activator left) not recommended for the same reasons as normal superglue.
