im not a dad again just yet but ive been roped into the nesting bizniss and ordered to tidy the back garden up a bit
although i dont like being ordered to do things i didnt mind this massive task too much as i think minnie could do with clean surroundings since shes not a farm hack scrapper anymore so from 6 this morning to 7 this evening ive done this
and ssshhhhh !!!! dont tell the missus but ive secretly been doing a bit on the landy aswell and got 99% of me wiring buttoned up and fixed the bloody ignition barrel
the problem was the tube on the top where the original engine shut off knob used to be had a bit of the old one stuck in where the pin locks it off from the ignition barrel so i just opened the bugger up and removed the pin and little lever that was jammed and it works a minter now
and a little porn fer the lads

the handbrake gaiter is not factory standard or anything like that
it started life as a draught excluder for a letterbox ( the brush type ) i took 1 brush out as it was on an aluminium rod type thingy bent it in half and trimmed the bristles to suit and then trapped it behind the original bezzel thing round the handbrake tightened it up and trimmed the bristles off the outer edge of it
trouble is if i remove it in the future for any reason all the bristles will fall off and ill have to start again :frown::frown:
and yes the thing in the back is a waste oil heater
that started off life as 4 items
1 propane gas bottle out of a patio heater
1 round cast iron grid grate
1 pole off a no ball games sign
and the cyliner off an old fire extinguisher
i followed this geezers design and changed it to suit
Drip Feed Waste Oil Heater, First Test. - YouTube
i just changed the dimensions and air flow direction a little to get more heat in the bottom primary burner ( the fire extinguisher ) to be capable of burning waste engine oil cleanley
the original design he has is designed to burn chippy oil and as thats not that easy to obtain or purify enough to run in this it was just easier to alter it to run on used engine oil than spend all me time filtering veggie oil that looks like puke
it is however a work in progress as im only just getting to the finer points of making it burn efficiently with verry little or no smoke at all but plenty of heat
at the moment it uses half a pint of oil evry 2 hours on a drip feed and keeps that entire area at a constant 21 degrees or 200 degrees on the burner itself
when the wind aint blowing a gale
