Leaky rims are not good.Just repaired the tyre on the CRV twas leaking from the rim so sanded down the inside of the wheel n slapped some glue
on it, then fitted two tyres for my mate. Pizza in the oven.

We are getting dangerously near AG territory folks. Best stop.Nor is a leaky ring
I was hinting at the leak is bad beading or a broken alloy. I protest innocenceWe are getting dangerously near AG territory folks. Best stop.
I'm a bit late to this conversation but like @Stanleysteamer I was going to say clamp something to the spring rather than weld directly to it. The heat will do weird things to the hardening and tempering of the spring and it might be apt to crack after being in use for a while. If you're drilling holes in springs it'll be interesting to see how your drills perform. They're usually harder than cheap Screwfix special drills. Maybe this is a job for cobalt drills.Just had a light bulb moment
I have some old track rod ends, bolt body of track rod end through axle and drill hole in end of spring for the other end
panhadrd rod at top of axle to chassis should hold axle upright.... just

Near where I used to live in Birmingham there was a custom phase 2 Standard Vanguard. The rear doors had been welded shut, and the rear springs had been replaced with single leaf ones of the kind you sometimes see on light commercials. They were considerably longer than the originals so the rear shackles sat at a very oblique angle. The shock absorber brackets had been welded to the springs, which I thought was a bit naff. Upfront, some sort of V6 engine had been substituted for the original Standard item, and a coil spring front subframe from a later vehicle had been installed. To accommodate all this the inner wings had been modified, by the look of it with a hammer and chisel. Despite the rather rough and ready engineering, it served as someone's daily driver for several years.
Yup, "this is the way"Having worked it a good long time wiv yer 'ands, messy but fun! Roll it into sossidges and using a propa putty knife, the way hopefully you have been shown, tis fun!
Hain't needed to do it for ages, wot wiv plastic double galzed units anorl!
Dun even know where my putty knife is!
Yup, "this is the way"
None in Wimblowdriver Towers that close to the boundary. But I have a lean-to on the side which is at the boundary at its outer edge, its nothing more than a shed (timber built with lots of glass). Needs rebuilding as its worn out. Wonder if it has to be fire rated if it's rebuilt? I'll need to investigate further as its a possible project this summer.... that I am shocked that since Grenfell towers ANY window placed in a domestic property that is <1M from the boundary MUST be 30 minute fire resistant.
This is a huge cost uplift. Even IF the neighbours property is >2M from the same boundary. This is NUTS IMHO.
See? you didn't need us at all!!Like the Vanguard story
Bit worried about the drilling myself but slowly slowly with cutting oil should do it in the pillar drill
Spring is only for show (107 Landy) but might as well use it as a radius arm
Can't wait to get started on it now I have a plan
