Pferd, senator, bahco, sandvik, kennedy, vallorbe Theres sometimes new old stock paper wrapped files that appear on ebay. Anything old and British made will be good. And just because I like tools - heres some file making information. If youre anywhere near sheffield go to MA tooling in attercliffe for an alladins cave of quality files. (Ignore the chinese stuff they also have)

Standing and driving works well on some mowers like the scag v-ride. But I think there would be limited benefits for the bronco driver beyond fruit picking or pretending to be the pope.

What about something like this to make your cover from? https://www.anchorsupplies.com/genuine-ex-british-army-heavy-duty-cut-canvas-tarp-cover-18ft-x-12ft.html We had a canvas tarp made up for this sculpture we built, the fabric was super expensive. Your build is great Stephen! Helps twist my arm to get more done on mine!

It's amazing how often this forum has a clear well explained answer to conundrum! Thanks all

Looks great fun. Your fiddle brake video is really clever on YouTube.

my favourite bilsom thunder t3 comfortable enough for all day wearing and still engage in conversation!

I have been searching for an affordable one for years! Was dropping off some scrap at scrapyard and one came tumbling out of a skip being emptied. (repaired dc control box) Make sure you have an earth that rubs on the chuck/platter or shaft. I considered hydraulic motor before I found this one. Your start looks good!

Hello all, I was also in the same position looking for an affordable bead former and I came across this idea on a hotrod forum i think it was. I suppose it would be possible to make a die holder that would allow a variety of tube sizes to be accomodated. However for a 50p carboot set of mole grips and a lunch break (extended) to make them its much cheaper than the commercial variants. I would reccomend including a backstop into the u section like I have (so the bead is concentric). adding a locknut onto the pressure adjuster part of the mole grips ensures the same extent of push - thus a uniform bead. I used a thick washer to make the former that pushes onto the tube from the inside and a holesaw to make the die and a lump of boxsection. Steel tubing needs to be annealed first, as does alu tube (fairy liquid rubbed on before heating - when it goes black its roughly right temp, theres many other techniques such as a sooty stick and temp indicator pens etcetc) within the scope of a gas hob or camping stove.

This has driven me up the wall for a few hours today- I have a 300tdi sitting on my bench ready for a new clutch and timing belt. I absoultely cannot shift the 27mm af bolt from the end of the crank without the engine turning over. I have tried with a hand impact wrench and a home made locking device using the 4 holes in the damper (strangely the holes in the damper are not tapped at all?!). Next plan - would this work? - I thought about welding some scrap bar to a worn out clutch cover (then fitting to flywheel) and then welding the bar to the bench temporarily and strapping the engine mounts to the bench too. suggestions please?

hello all! well i had a lovely cold morning today working on the engine. lift pump changed. injector lines bled. chug chug vroom SORTED! twas the night before christmas and lift pump was stuffed

will the injection pump function if I attach a length of pipe to the inlet and another to the outlet of the injection pump? just to check if the lift pump is at fault? (thanks for your prompt reply landyman) rich
