  1. What about a poll of who has what and what for ie Make Model Output etc etc
  2. I would go with the makes Paul and Nick both mentioned plus maybe Esab.
  3. Will call you in the morning,i know 3 companys who could sort that out.
  4. I worked along side Colin for a number of years,he was a true gent through and through. Thoughts must go to both the familys they have both taken a big loss. Gods speed Colin.
  5. Gutted Si but at least you walked away from it without a scratch which is the main thing.Pip says keep your chin up.
  6. Peter Glad you liked the anchor,the end of the boom being flattend is stronger than welding in a bar like some of the other manufactures do + it keeps weight down which was one of the main aims.Nick fields took one away with him @ Billing and he loves it. As for mounting it 3 quick fist is the fav so far but i have designed a mount for it but it is'nt really for release just yet but will be in the next 2-3 weeks (ready for Peterborugh show). As for the Johnny Joints yep we have EVERY size of joint,jam nut and weld-in bung in stock that Currie do with tube to suit all applications.If you need any bits just give me a call and i will sort you a good deal out same as any other LR4x4 members.

  7. Long time no speak Mr Turner hows tricks? You should have stopped by at the show for a beer or UFO The anchor has been done by me and Si as a joint venture,god there has been over 200 hours put into the design and protyping alone!!!!! We went through 16 varations of boom length,boom angle and blade angle until we were happy with the results,if you measure the angles they are ALL different to any other on the market past or preasent.As regards the materials used we have nothing to hide,no unobtainum or top secret metals used just good old Domex and Clubman 500.I would be more than happy for you to try one @ the next AWDC event if you are up for it??? Chris
  8. Will can't you just press a stud in then cross drill and pin it?? It would,nt be a hard job.
  9. Or just use a small raw bolt or even spend some of your wealth with gigglepin???
  10. Have a chat with John from here- http://www.brunelperformance.co.uk/ He will give good advice.
  11. So what's the right part number?
  12. Not sure who,s part number that is For Reiger parts i normmaly use M-Sport. What size are they Jules?
  13. Dave Jusy got home now it has PI**ED it down all day No wet paint on the anchor's just hot out of the tank from the platers Must say i am VERY happy with the cutting on the Domex very very clean Chris
  14. eeeeee just gows 2 show that wee up ere speak reeeeeeeet proper than u safern cants Each to their own i say but i prefer Esab with all the bells and bling.
  15. It,s got to be Esab or Speed glass but the latter is for hob-nob eating girls
  16. RU F~~KING BORED?????????????????????
  17. Yep all is well up north thanks Trev,just trying to get some work done
  18. GROUP HUG F~~K that i would,nt want to get any perming lotion on me I would rather be welding S##T than this bitching.
  19. Hope the "wow" was,nt sarcasm John There has been ALOT of work put into above truck and YES you are right Jim over a good few months!!! BUT as you all may know or not know i have had major probs over the last 8 months with staff and the quality of thier work ( with the excetion of DAN a real diamond),well i had to make a decsion what to do,wethere to turn out sub standard work like alot of other people or not employ anyone and do it all myself?????That has been one of the hardest things to do ever So now it is me and ONLY me that lays hands on a clients car purly so i can produce 100% 1st class work,so was does this mean well i can only work as fast as i can,for the last 12 months if i have had 5 days out of the workshop at the most, that means working EVERY day NOT 5 days per week,that includes working the weekends that my 3 year old daughter comes to stay and see me if any of you have kids you will know how much that it means to you when you get to spend time with them or in my case not spending time with them it kind of put the whole slaging each other off on here into perspective do you not think? So if people want to throw B_LLS__T around about me then fine carry on just rember i know who you are,were you are and what goes around will certainly come around but i can honestly say i am giving it my best,and from the feedback i get from the people that understand and let me get on with thier jobs they love what i do. With being so busy i havnt been on the forum,but the prob with that certain people put it around that i have gone bust and trying to cause hassle making things up when they dont know well i am afaid to say that simply is,nt going to happen as my name says in it NORTHERN i dont and will not go down with out a fight,Yes it is hard, Yes workin 24/7 and not taking a penny out of the place and still trying to enjoy it makes it even harder.There are always people going to try and knock me and that i am affaid is life. Chris
  20. Afternoon all Jim The cars been in for a long time as bespoke work tends to evolve as the clients design and requirements change, presently the car weighs in (on calibrated corner scales) at over 200kgs lighter than the "claimed" lightest truck from a specialist 4x4 garage, Anyway thanks for clearing up the mystery surrounding the arms Jim - very helpful Chris P.S Congrats on the baby spose now Kaz has two kids to look after
  21. "BTW the crimped goodridge fitting are the onlky braided hoses that are allowed by SVA" Why is Ian,s truck going for SVA????
  22. Ian In the past we have had alot of probs with crimped -3 braided hoses,not just Goodridge but pretty much all from the big players.The best solution would be make your own up with screw together fittings,then you can pick what components you want to use i,e stainless steel,alloy,swivel fittings etc Speak to people like Demon Tweeks etc they normally have stock if not Earls @ silverstone are really helpful and will always have the gear in stock that you need.
