A qualified yes. But put some of those condensation absorbing thingys in it. Or, (so I have heard) cat litter in an old stocking or pair of tights.
I bought a large quantity of the crystals online. They are reusable as are the packs with them in. If you use enough you can close the windows but air still gets in through vents etc.

But the best thing is to use it at least once a week. Ifn you've decided to sorn it that'll be a problem.

Then she could really see what debts are! And then she could run crying to her solicitor. )

But then that is just the poop opinion of someone who has only ever been in the situation by proxy.

I thought it strange too!
Usually they tell you that leaving the gaff is the very last thing you should do.
However, as it has all gone a bit toxic and there is a lot of anger and emotion the time away may help calm things down.
Neither of them want to be together it seems and for the sake of the kids he has baled out to here for some respite from the shouting. No other parties involved at all but I think he has finally managed to scrub off the "Welcome" tattoo and is refusing to be a doormat any longer.
She's doing a good job of "poisoning the well" with the children, and he is fighting a rearguard action to let them know he really does love them. But she is saying he cannot have the kids and is making access difficult. Families! Who'd have 'em? :)

Such a shame, the poisoning of the little minds thing.
Sadly it seems to happen a heck of a lot.
Recent experience with a friend of a friend is that judges, even female ones, can be surprisingly fair in cases like these. So keeping his nose superclean may well work in his favour, at least financially and as far as seeing his kids/custody is concerned.
If she has worked and contributed very little financially then that should work in his favour too.
But there is no second-guessing these things.
Can only cross fingers and hope he gets things straight his end.
Best of luck to all of you.

That I received some Stainless nut's and washers that I had ordered for the hub's today.

Below is a picture of one of the hubs wearing the official Sturmey Archer parts, alongside the other one wearing the parts that I made on my lathe.
The first nut you see that is up against the backplate has a shoulder turned on it to a 19.5mm diameter and a depth/length of 2.5mm.
Centring the M16 SS nut in the 4-Jaw was interesting, but I was too lazy to swap the 4-Jaw out for the 3-Jaw.

The all "Sturmey Archer one is on the left. The Hybrid Sturmey Archer/Clarke one is on the right. :)

I am pleased with how it has come out and I will make some more for other SA Hub's I have.

Yer you will also have to air it when its been raining for a while then it drys up as they do get condensation under them.
also make sure its not flapping about in the wind as they scuff the paint.
