  1. Enough with the ranting! thats my job! (trying to get you guys to lighten up)

    I haven't paid my subs yet, i do'nt like paypal, can some one pm me a postal address and i will send a cheque.

    P.S. how much to advertise home made apple pies? :D

    oiy! I picked those apples as well!!! TRADER! TRADER! Slave Trader at that :lol::P

  2. Also known as UAV's (Unmanned Airbourne Vehicles)

    THe USA have been using them to fire off LASER guided bombs and Mavericks against targets in Afghanistan IIRC (think there are still issues on the legalality of engaging an enemy with such tactics) and the UK uses the Galileo Avionica Mirach 100/5 UAV as a target drone, trials platform and other "active" missions which I can't discuss :ph34r:

    USA Predator and Hellfire missile:

  3. I am thinking about buying a lathe for small hobby type work. I have been looking at the Clarke CL500M

    Which can be had for £649.95 on one of their vat free days. It comes with a 6" jaw as standard.

    The other one that I was looking at is the Chester Model B - Super

    This one sells for £645, but only comes with a 5" jaw as standard. To upgrade to a 6" jaw will cost another £162.

    I have been looking on ebay for one of these, but the prices that they generate are rediculous. They sell for about £100 less than the new price, even if they are years old, and worn to hell.

    I was wondering whether any of you had any experience with either of these machines, or had enough lathe experience to be able to make some suggestions.

    Thanks in advance......

    A lot of it depends on what you intend to do, aluminium work is not so strenuos on the tooling, while stainless steel can be a biatch, I'd love a Colchester Student or something slightly bigger, but they go for silly money now so my modellers lathe will have to be fixed and pushed into service again

  4. dont blame me for your girly hair rob

    Don't worry about the number of pics per post. Just upped the limit on that to 50 so Les can show us all his porn mods to catflat.

    Ah kay :) these forums are getting clever!

  6. ok, apologese for the 13 picture long post in L2B, anyhoo.....

    I posted the first four up, no problem, then I posted up the next four, and the post merges into the original post, anyhoo I conclude I must have pressed the quote or edit button and do the next four, it happens again!!!!!

    So, why does it do that?

  7. thanks for the help tonk, i didnt wont to got out and buy brakes shoes which were 10" when i needed 11", and i keep putting 1989 from some reason probley any thing in the 1989 reminds me whne it was born in 1989 plus i was in a lesson so didnt have much time to think about wat i was putting. :rolleyes:

  8. well it's either 1/4 UNF or 1/4 BSF, after just removing a nipple from a prop I got sat by my bed and threaded a 1/4 UNF bolt in I'd say UNF :)

    walked straight into that one :o it goes with the rest of the Series transfer case, sump gasket and oil filter, frame parts for the classic bike amongst other bits :ph34r:

  9. funnily enough I did finally resort to a lump of wood and a 2 1/4lb lump hammer to persuade them on after drilling and reaming :lol:

    It then went further down hill when I found out that the wiper arms and wiper blades supplied by a well known spares dealership did not fit together, even though they came in the same parcel from them :huh: phone call time...... :angry:

  10. When I was a weeeee two, I learnt a major lesson in life, in fact during my MoD apprenticeship it was further drummed into me about such things, in fact, that be.....

    ROUND PEGS DO NOT GO IN SQUARE HOLES

    I do wonder some times :huh: I take it this isn't some change-over to Defender where the output shaft maybe square or earlier Series are such, it for sure won't fit my 1979 SIII until I run a drill down it.
