The All New, New "What have you done to your Bay today" thread.

I think I needed that new thermostat.. one had hex nut soldered ( lead free solder you know ) to it after a trimming shorter, because the tapped thread had worn away totally
The notch I think was where it vibrated against the bracket.

I poured water from the kettle over the new one and it definitely expanded fast.

 

Are they cracking good tin snips you have there ,and what make if they are ? mine just don't cut it nicely and requires ridicules force .

 

Camped in it next to a 76

 

I expect @snotty's to be genuine aviation grade ones.

I have some I bought for about £25 a pair , in B&Q, that cut well and survived until I sheared the pivot bolt. One grade 12.9 bolt off eBay later, back in working order.

Trying to cut 1.6mm stainless steel is too much ..

For a larf I bought some from the Middle of Lidl for a few quid and they bend all over the place, so cutting with those needs hammering back into shape..

 

There's a plaice for everything, and it's not in your carbs.

 

Gilbow ones you need

 

They're the deWalt ones from Screwfix. I've got a left, right and straight one. They're not bad

 

Last weekend camping

 

Are you fishtailing the van now?

 

Is that a Caravan Club electric fence boundary marker?

 

No it’s one I take with me

 

Pub site next to East Kirby perhaps ??

Spot on

 

After recovering from my operation in June and Covid in July - I managed to take the bus for its first outing of the year -not camping I'm afraid but to Capesthorne Classic Car Show near Macclesfield in Cheshire - and my MG Club friends let me park up with them - 85 mile round trip and ran smoothly all the way.

 

Drove past your house today, ready to toot and wave at your bus... now I know why I didn't see it.

 

I got kicked off a campsite and spent the night in Cheamley Village police cells, on a raucously good trip to Alton Towers.

 

Sat down at FreeCAD this afternoon and designed and 3d printed these in TPU (polyurethane).. they are designed for 12mm diameter hole about 4mm thick panel.
But thats just a couple of numbers typed into the CAD.

 

That’s cool ….. are you bringing some to TE by any chance

I’ve been on and off with this since February and had to call in professional help a couple of times, but..

drum roll please..

the new crewcab load bed and rear bulkhead are finally on

Need to do some cosmetic work now and think about reinstating the petrol tank and drop gates.
