Yeah, get one quick. I got all of my stuff from thunderpole.

I think I'll bring some stuff for making tea, so bring a mug if you want one.

Got a gopro last week, so will set that up. Should get some good videos I hope.

Derby7889 · Feb 2, 2015

ARGH!!!!!! I will get this landy running if it kills me! I think Im going to have to bodge for the weekend and do a full fix afterwards if I cant get it running in the next couple of days.

It has just been snowing here....oddly enough, should be interesting laning in the snow! I was going to bring a flask, but if people are taking heating equipment I think I shall be brining the makings of a cup of tea and asking to borrow your heat! hehe. Or make a fire pit if we get really stuck!!

What's the matter with it?

Derby7889 · Feb 3, 2015

Long story, il send you a PM

Pagin · Feb 3, 2015

Right, I hate laning. It makes me buy stuff....

Went into Maplins, picked up the cheapest one.... No microphone. So took the next one.

Wired it in (Really REALLY badly for now) and heard nothing but two Polish guys talking. Delightful. Now... What the hell is squealch?

Marmaduke · Feb 3, 2015

It's the noise you make after you've followed through

Marmaduke · Feb 3, 2015

Oh and I've wired mine to have a cigarette lighter socket on the end so I bet it's tidier than mine

Mine looks like it was attacked by a bread knife....

I'll rewire it once I get time!

Mine is still in the garage so you are one up on me. I'm waiting for some sheet steel to be delivered so I can make a bracket for the roof rack. Hopefully it won't be sheered off this time!

Sheet steel??

Is this by any chance the type of CB aerial you'll be using

Haha, nope

I just want a flat plate that I can bolt to the roof rack, then bolt the CB bracket to that.

Marmaduke · Feb 4, 2015

I'll be gaffer taping mine to the roof as it's a mag mount and tratter roofs are aluminium

Ok...so it turns out the stainless steel plate I ordered is 50mm x 50mm rather than the 500mm I thought it was, which makes it less a plate and more a coaster...:doh:

So mine will also be cable tied on!

James, how big a piece do you actually need? I've got several strips of various lengths but only about 300mm wide. If that's wide enough then call here before the Yonderman on Saturday and pick a bit to suit. Got some ally plate that's wider if 300mm not enough.

None of these aerial mount problems for me, my CB is a handheld job like a big walky talky. Only problem is, the range is measured in feet rather than miles
