where'd you get your's from ? - i'll be wanting a pile for that bulkhead soon - can't find any that last 5 minutes these days - the ones that Wilkinsons sell for a quid each are the best local

£1 ?? the drill ones?

mine are the angle grinder ones, £5 from screwfix. last quite a wile too, get the knot brushes, they last the best,
but the last lot i had were from carrols discount at cannock, ther ****in £18 in B&Q :doh:


i were thinkin of havin my bulkhead shot blasted before i did anything to it? dunno tho, might acid strip it

hey ya, I got mine from machine mart agan. They do a plastic cup and a metal cup. £5 and £10 respectfully. I have not given it any heavy use, maybe a couple of hours or so with the metal cup and its as solid as it was at new. B and Q have one, think its bosch, and its £23!!!

Yeah im talking about knoted, stiff as old boots, amazing! the drill one areas ok, better at getting in tigher areas, ie mantec swin arm joints, but they is nothing compared to the grinder mounted ones!

i might splash out on one of those fancy expensive ones see how it lasts - getting it dipped is taking the easy way out
 
truck, thats an amazing job! is that called the bulkhead (the engine, I really should know by now lol)? if so mine look sounds, how an earth did it get to look like that lol. again amazing, the outcome! nice!
 
yeah I would, them plastic ones didnt look so great, and that they would brake after a while. But they look same as trucks, and he has a couple, so he must be loving them! just metal is solid, I love it. lol
