After seeing the damage brake fluid did to the skin on my hands I am all for rubber gloves. What sort do mechanics wear?
There are two types of mechanics gloves which I use, for wet oily work, brake fluid, old engine oil, etc. including coloured polishes:-After seeing the damage brake fluid did to the skin on my hands I am all for rubber gloves. What sort do mechanics wear?
Salutary lesson there. Always try to keep fingers away from the dangerous end; the turny bits!The only trouble is that when I'm using an electric drill or driver they tend to 'pick up' and wrap round the rotating bit which can be quite painful!
MOT tomorrow, so a good clean underneath and a few small bits and pieces. I adjusted the handbrake, made a little bracket to tidy up some wires and pipes and then made a larger one because the first one was too little, checked the lights work (again) so it's all in the lap of the gods now.
Passed the MOT. No advisories either. Seems like I've been lucky the last few times. Checking it over carefully during the couple of weeks prior probably helps. They're clearly not looking for new-car perfection, more like checking that all the safety critical bits are still held together and still work.
Congratulations Mr Brown.
