Hey guys.
Picked up a second hand Sealey 50L compressor this morning. Drain valve was leaking but now replaced o ring on it and that’s now stopped.
However in a little concerned that to fill from empty to 8 bar it takes just over 5 minutes, seems a bit long for a 2hp motor? When filling I can...
Got a few bits and bobs to spray in 2k paint, it’ll be my first time using it and for the small bits will set up a makeshift spray booth outside, and I’ve also got some bits that will be done in situ on my van on the driveway.
Just thinking about PPE and what’s needed when painting outside...
Right lads! Thanks for the advice everyone ended up awkwardly taking the whole thing off again, removing parts of the brackets and unwinding them again with grips. Going to replace with some BZP alternatives and be a bit more careful!
Hey guys!
Was sticking an awning in the van today and the brackets have a few screws that go in underneath to stop the awning lifting up.
I pre drilled at 3mm and used 4x25mm stainless self tappers. However due to the angle I had to stick them in at I thick the heads were catching too much...
Haha we’ve all been there before. I’ve made up a template this morning and am going to have a go on some scrap to see how it turns out. Literally first cut I did cut it short
See if you can guess where it was
I’d make a template and probably use black mastic to fill the gap. I reckon a test piece is in order
Haha yeah, I’ve got a cheap katsu trim router which would be able to do it, but I’m by no means experienced with it…
Hey guys, just building up a kitchen unit for a van and just done the cut out for the induction hob. Appreciate this is more carpentry that metalwork but I’ve found this is usually a good pace to ask for reliable advice!
It would be nice to route this out so it’s flush with the worktop, but I’m...
does this help?
Yes theres a lot more options in aluminium but im just concerned of failure over time as its a fair bit of weight that will be on the brackets and a lot of vibrations etc. Maybe I shouldnt be concerned though?
potentially not, and if its going to be a faff then angle is the fall back plan. Angle brackets would need to be bolted on the underside of the rack to avoid the awning being to high, toward s the middle of the rack there isnt much clearance underneath due to the roof profile but still might be...
Morning chaps!
I've got a van with a roof rack ive made from 4040 aluminium extrusion, and just got a brand new second hand awning for it. Mounting to the roof rack is going to require custom brackets, so just looking at whats the easiest route is going to be.
Theres a company which produces...
Well..
Spent ages finding the correct sized black anodized aluminium angle to finish off the side step and rear step on my campervan.
Started cutting all the pieces yesterday and it dawned on me its a black painted finish. I specifically wanted an anodized finish for the better scratched...
