At least the waiting times aren't very long at A&ERoasted Duck
Mornin all! Have a lovely weekend
Who is looking for a left hand side amber light fitment for a Disco 1999 - 2004?
This is yet another 'stray' part which I have discovered in my 'junk' room when I was searching for my sewing overlocker!!! Why I bought it and never used it I have no idea. These stray items for my old D2 still keep turning up.
Unused, Bearmach, has two part numbers on the pack - XBD 100880 and XBD10088. Still in the original packing. Pics can be offered if wanted.

I as been busy today
Again, (seems to be happening a lot to me recently) I was thinking "is that a hole or just a weird thing in the photy?"
22 degrees? Positively balmy for us, i'd swim it. It's been 19 in the sea at Narbonne and peeps were swimming in it, not terribly warm for the med.Happy weekend folks
Well little
But on the bright side we got water tonight
We now smell nice again

If our pool gets to 23 even wifey will swim in it and not moan!
But yes, you are like us now. Time to put the timer on the pump and forget it till next year!

Wifey would be drooling over your overlocker if I told her about it!!!Who is looking for a left hand side amber light fitment for a Disco 1999 - 2004?

Sure kevstar hasn't been round?Sadly, no-one can drool over it as I just can't find it.
I have been "busy" decorating my house for the installation of some new windows, so no appreciable work has occurred on the bike-building front.
Today I found some time (after knocking another item off the "Honey-do" list) to have a play at trike stuff.
If you are aware of the access problem I have then you will immediately understand the reason for the funny looking contraption shown below.
This location is the "pinch-point" between my front yard and the back garden and the trike storage sheds.
The two "swing-arms" are mounted on captive M12 12.9 hardness bolts acting as stub-axles and these axles pass through home-made housings for a pair of 28/12/8 bearings.
The rotation is smooth and the bearings are readily and affordably replaceable.
A "Normal" track-width trike cannot be brought down the side of the house.; and a narrow track delta-trike is likely to be a little unstable.
This is my attempt to overcome that particular problem. This will certainly fit down the side of the house, the "balance-scales" linkage will allow the trike to tilt "gracefully" in any corners (like a normal bike going round a corner)rather than capsizing and spilling the rider (me) off into the traffic.
When both rear wheels are braked all tilting action is frozen by virtue of the need for wheel rotation to occur in order for the trailing arm to move so at a standstill the trike should NOT fall over (FAMOUS LAST WORDS?).
Clearly such an arrangement of the rear wheels mandates that the trike is FWD. What form this will take is yet to be determined. I have looked a twisted chain but it appears very problematic to avoid chain derailment.
I am not saying it cannot be done, clearly it can and IS done; but I think it is difficult to get right.
Other options are MBB or flow-roller styles of FWD.
My thinking cap is ON.

That's a thought, mmmm.
an overlocker isn't exactly a small thing to not be able to find, is it? Only ever seen one, a neighbour's ages ago. not as talal as a sewing machine I seem to recall.
Have you moved house since you last used it? We still have sh!t in tea chests in the loft we've not needed for 27 years!
There-in lies the difficulty. We did sell our house this time last year but had to pull out mid October as we just couldn't find a suitable property to suit our needs, The buyer had been 'umming and aaring' for three months and then expected us to find a new house and have everything completed in just four weeks with the suggestion that we could just go ahead and live in our motorhome until we did find a house to suit, so it was not to be. Meanwhile, I had packed many things I wasn't going to use into boxes and put some in the loft and others in a storage unit which we already had. Who would have thought you could lose an overlocker?
Well it looks as if you have narrowed it down to two places then!There-in lies the difficulty.

Getting it out of the loft doesn't sound like an occupation you should try alone .
It's not difficult as I live in a bungalow and have an 'attached' loft ladder.

Still have to haul it and not step on a helpful pooch in the process.
The pool temp has been dropping quick, we now can’t hold it with the daytime sun so it’s a losing battle so the decision was made.
“Time to put the timer on the pump and forget it till next year“ please explain do you actually leave your pump on?
We remove pump and drain everything in the pump room.
