Seeing that needle grease gun tip, that reminds me when on my first job at a BMC dealership, the air grease gun had one of those fitted. The guy doing the servicing slipped, stuck it in his finger & pumped grease in, didn’t do him a lot of good! The ordinary end was put back on then, a bit safer.
Hi Florence, welcome to the forum, that must be a first, go on a welding forum with a scaffolding question. Luckily there is a wealth of knowledge on here about all sorts.
Same as me, I find, take off glasses, fit helmet, take off helmet fit glasses, a pain. I prefer keep on glasses, fit helmet, take off helmet & still being able to see much preferable.
Sort of echo here, saw your first post in the mig welding section, then found this. I know nothing about walking axles though, but welcome to the forum.
Edit, first post deleted now :thumbup:
I’ve not used one, but am interested to know about them as well, as my trolley jack is just about off its trolley. I would have thought that it would have tended not to push up square depending if the load wasn’t quite central. The bellows looks very similar to the air system of spring...
If it’s chrome on steel, cooking foil & water works well. As kids we used to use milk bottle tops & spit to clean the rust off chrome on the bicycles. There is a chemical reaction between the rust & aluminium.
Lidl paint for metal is really good stuff, I made a garden obelisk for a friend in Cornwall & it’s stood the sea air better than anything else they’ve got. Cheap & cheerful, but bl@@dy good. I’ve used it on wood as well, as that was all I had & seems ok for that as well.
As others have said, I think I would go from the other side if access is possible & slide a bit of sheet steel up behind the brake pipes to protect them
We have a low voltage fluorescent light in the toilet of our camper van, that definitely strobes, go in for a night time pee & it looks like you are firing machine gun bullets. :)
On the booking form we have to click what we are tipping, … in theory! Just black bag, timber, scrap or garden rubbish, but no-one checks, I don’t think the tip jockey’s know what you’ve ticked anyway.
In Gloucestershire it’s booked on-line only, that’s actually better as it stops a rush at certain times & empty others, it spaces people out. Trailers ok up to 6 foot x 4 foot internal measurement. Vans only by arrangement though, it seems to work pretty well
I had a 100e engine in a Ford special I built, I didn’t realise at the time but the chassis I had was from a Buckler. It accepted all e93a parts & I converted a 100e engine with an Aquaplane head to fit to give it a bit more ooomph.
