  1. I have a Comeup 12000lb(?) bridge type and it gets some fair abuse and is still going strong. The solenoids bought it but an albright and a couple of tie bars from goodwinch soon sorted it.
  2. I use a Cowon D2 mp4 player with built in DAB attached to a marine amp similar to this:- http://www.force4.co.uk/5129/Force-4-Waterproof-MP3---iPod-Kit.html Means that i can keep the MP4 on the roof out of harms way and still go swimming! DAB coverage is pretty good but seems to be patchy on ocasion - weather, buildings, hills all affect it. I'm pretty happy with it mind. BBC 6music is the station of choice though!
  3. You'll not get the larger size GY MTRs in the UK. I work for them and can't even get hold of 35s. Only for the Asian market apparently (and US I guess). As for MPTs have you considered Dunlop SPT9? Google is your friend...
  4. That sounds like it was done with a thermic lance type of affair. Don't know if these things work in a similar way? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_lance Apparently you can do it with a bit of straightened injector pipe. Heat the pin etc you want to lance with an oxy acetelene cutting torch. fit a second oxy line to your injector pipe and feed it and the oxygen into the pool. No ideas on pressures etc and don't blame me if you kill yorselves! I've never seen it but have heard about it being done in SA. It is apparently self sustaining but probably makes a bit of a mess. The Injector pipe won't be good for much afterwards!
  5. We had spiral ducting on a tortoise stove in our workshop. It rotted out after a few years but at £12 a section it didn't really matter. Ours did run up the outside of the shop, mind.
  6. Dragging this tread back to the top, Does anyone know of a supplier of 11/16 x16 UNS jam nuts? I bent my track rod at seven sisters and have a thicker heavy duty one but no way of stopping it from rotating. I think that just a RH thread one will be sufficient but my local fastner place has nothing and can only get me a box of 50 so not ideal. Any ideas?
  7. http://www.bigbrute.co.uk/ Would suck a golf ball up a hose pipe as the old saying goes.
  8. The Shire Club have/had plain red ones. About £15.00 IIRC. Prahaps speak to V8bertha, FridgeFreezer or whohaveyou (not a person!).
  9. I'd say that there's a not missing in there before exceeding... However my 110 van surely falls under this:- . (1) A goods vehicle having a maximum laden weight not exceeding 7·5 tonnes and which is not—(a) an articulated vehicle, or(b) drawing a trailer, or© a car-derived van 70 60 50 If it is a car derived van then it's still 70 60 50 anyhow so no problem as far as i can see. just have to remember to only do 50 on single caridgeway...
  10. Twin red and white tanks are not legal on any vehicle even a machine that runs on red genrally. If a vehicle is used for a task that uses red then moves to another job where white is used it must be fully cleaned out and re-bled with white with new filters.
  11. Goodyear Efficient grip are available in a 225/60/16 which i believe would work on the rims and have a similar RC.
  12. Hopefully another three of us coming too. Would be interested to see what the form is for Sun night camping.
  13. again not strictly true - it depends if you are carting agricultural material for your own use(red)/hire or reward(haulage-white)/contracting(pink? I don't know). I believe that the wording is something like "occupying two pieces of land". I'm not sure what the legal definition of occupation is, mind!
  14. We'll have to see about that! You'll have to try and squeeze annother 20" of wheelbase in there somewhere too! 110" is the wheelbase of champions!
  15. Well done to all involved - ace day and excelent refreshments also despite the lack of burger van! Must get on with building that rear Xmember after seeing steve200tdi's thing of beauty. Also must invest in a couple of quickfists/bungees/hi-lift rack having seen the dents in the back of the rear bulkhead!
