[Blobber]

Managed to get to stickney auto jumble today, good selection of classic cars on show as well, wasn't expecting to find anything but ended up with a pile of genuine vauxhall/Opel spares for very little money, some for me, some to sell on

 

[Seadog]

A box of twenty five 3M 5" Cubitron cutting discs.
I thought that I'd give them a try,, and dor under a score they seem like good value.

Have only found it on Amazon here with Type D fittings, any idea what they are? Murican I assume

Not sure if it's as good but I use the Bergen green air hose and it's excellent, and cheap too.

That one came from Amazon, I think my first one did come off the Bergen van.

JW does a review on the 1741 and it has a lot of functions I would never use.
This is virtually brand new and has all the domestics functions I am likely to need/not need.

Efixx is another good YT channel with really good simple content and none of the nonsense.

Have a look for sparkyninja, very knowledgable chap, he also has various groups on facebook, a general sparky one and a 2931 inspection and testing one and an apprentice one.

Sparkyninja and John Ward are also part of the E5 lot, a very knowledgable bunch of guys, unfortunately one of them, arguably the most knowledgable, passed away recently.

There's also David Savery electrical services (DSES) who does various electrical videos in his own unique style but valuable & useful content.

 

[Beeezer]

A CT90 trail with high and low gears.
Just needs a bit of fettling.

 

[MetalMonkey]

in his own unique style

Very tactfully put.
He's a genuinely sound bloke.

Ooh, is that a Victor water pump, or a shorter one for early Viva / Magnum / Firenza OHC?

Jeez, I'm going to be wanting one of those little ''Honda 50'' type bikes now

 

[Bki26]

Also found a large sheet of 10mm ply being thrown out just around the corner on my way to the shop so a quick knock on the door and walked it home


Now I have something sturdy to mount the vice/tailstocks to during shipping!

Great bikes. I had four - 2 x standard, a CX500C and a Eurosport

You'd need to save up the pennies as they are quite expensive now. Gone are the days when you could get one for peanuts to use as a field bike

Yep I'd noticed they seem to go for stupid money nowadays

 

[badabec]

They must be rare, Honda only made in excess of 100 million of them.

 

[indykid]

I only went in for some fizzy water

Couldn't resist the stainless screws at 2 for £4 (along with the 50mm roller set), 3m sanding roll 3 for £2, Scraper set was £3 and the most expensive was the micro screwdriver set at a fiver. There was no shelf edge label for the screwdriver set so I rolled the dice and took it to the till, but the bits look adequately ground.

Somehow managed not to buy any wine so it even cost me less than it usually does.

Well done on exercising restraint!

No idea to be honest, I swap the pulleys to suit the requirements at the time, it's a genuine vauxhall pump as well which probably means it's going to leak

Nostalgia money fuels the fire.
