Ayresys Workshop Thread :)

[flat]

i am debating whether to get my local garage to tetra schutz my underneath or do it myself with dinitrol - cost is the same :-s

I will still need to do the chassis inner though, will use dinitrol for that

That x-member looks great

I wouldn't recommend tetra schutz for the inside as its too hard to spray I'm gonna make a tool for spraying wax oil inside chassis rails a fan type nozzle or something. This chassis is perfect on the inside must have been sprayed with something like dint roll paint mix as its black coated like paint

So you reckon waxoyl or similar inside and just shutz gun it outside?

Sorry to hijack your tread lol

ziebart does that coating all the hard to reach places so it doesn't rusty. a far superior product and doesn't need don every year.

Undercoating

Don't worry about hi jacking that's what this thread is for, the spreading of mechanical knowledge

Yeah that would be a good mix. I warmed the schutz to make it easier to spray but it was still abit of a pain, it looks good though and covers up rust so you've got a nice black finish and it's very hard wearing

Nice bitnof welding there. Did you make the rear yourself? Looks tidy.

This was my first go at a complete one made from scratch.

Turned out like this.

 

[Dan_Trials]

put some primer on the bottom of the back door

And it wasn't in for that job. Guy's got to make money!

No this one was a press brake one, for what he charges its not worth me spending the time making one that wouldn't be as good, all fits together easily and is a good design so I just use his ones

My landy used to be that blue aswell

Exactly wasn't on my list, and tbh it was just abit of surface rust. The customers selling the 90 soon so doesn't want to spend too much on it

I also knocked one of his faults off the list, we first thought the rear crank seal may be leaking but it turned out to be the rocker cover gasket so thy saved a big job

 

[200tdi ayre]

New tool set

Will be really useful carrying around in the landy too

 

[200tdi ayre]

Fair spring compressor ...

 

[flat]

now that is a press! Did you make that?

 

[200tdi ayre]

now that is a press! Did you make that?

Yeah dad did a few years ago

This is the first thing that's defeated it, we've not failed to push something out untill now

May I ask who that is made by as looks a nice neat set

Blue point

It is a nice set in a complete package and its neat, most of the lads in the workshop have a set

Yeah plus if you do that and slap some paint on then the rest of the door looks like crap so you got to clean and paint that. Then what about the hinges, then the body, then this then that! And it's not like you can charge for it because they didn't ask for you to do it. Best thing to do is when they come to pick it up, point out the worst bits and suggest they get it done then when they come back after that job suggest any other bits you see etc. Spreads the cost out for them and keeps work coming in for you.

Fair enough if they are selling it but chances are if they sell it locally the new owner will come to you for future work so now you already have a list of niggly bits to go through with them

Nice socket set that, BluePoint is made by SnapOn so good quality stuff!

Exactly

Yeah got it from the snap on man that comes around every week
So I've got a guarantee and everything

how much is bluepoint compared to snap on?

I have brought a few snap on sockets and teng stuff but i love a good set

About 2/3 the price or better usually which is good value for the quality

Some impressive work there

Whereabouts in Derbyshire are you? It's always nice to know where garages/workshops are that have LR knowledge, seeing as I live next to Derbyshire. Do you do LR repairs for anyone or just agricultural customers?
