Just had a quick look at some youtoobs about calibrating torque wrenches. The methods, hanging weights off and doing maths, is very obvious and not a problem. My problem is finding the mech to do any adjustment, especially as the high power one...

Just a thought regarding vac advance Putting your foot down retards the ignition, lifting it off advances ignition to allow for leaner mixture.

Bottom, , top is attached to damper piston , bottom is at jet end You can fine tune by rubbing brasso on to remove little at a time

File a little off the bottom third of the needle, that'll give it more fuel at full throttle :)

A little blast was enjoyed. :D It still doesn't feel right. I have put in a request for a chat to the local tuning man. :) I am sure the DWP can afford it next month. :)

For boats we make a frame/mount out of angle bar (usually stainless) then sit a plastic marine battery box in the frame & bolt it on then use a webbing strap to stop the battery moving. :) Truck may need tie bar across to secure it.(instead of a...

Been looking for a carrier so as I can have battery bolted to the chassis, looks like I'll have to make one Battery is 7" x 14" Can only find small expensive ones :(

Morning All. :D A Sunny start to the day at least. A bit cold though. :) No real plans for today, might take the Mini out for a blast. :) Have a great day. :D

Glad you got it done The bolt holes usually go all the way through, they get crusty at the bottom due to rusty water and block up below the bolt. Yours may not be drilled and tapped all the way though, not sure if all were the same

.... that the helicoil repair was eventually successful. :D 1st go would not let the bolt thread in. :eek: Managed to prise the tip of the coil up and pulled it back out. Phew! Recut the thread for the helicoil and washed the hole out with...

Knew you'd have trouble wiv the helicoil. They is a total pain. I have had the bolt go round and round taking the helicoil with it so you couldnt get the blasted thing out to remove whatever you want to remove, without cutting the head off the...

It's a balmy spring day here in Linkinshushire. But we are closer to the equator than yous on the other side of the Wall.

Morning dull but dry here. Had to deliver W to dottirs as they are going "shopping" in Pompey today. I also had to show dottir how to work W's wheelchair, so she can fold it up etc. Got back to find the noo calliper and the rebuild kit had been...

What a sad bunch of thickos. I guess if they were any use they'd be like other good trades, self-employed, working their socks off and booked up for weeks, like it is round here. :(
