Highly unlikely somebody is going to stand about ready to note your reg plate down on a whim while you are driving about.
Seems more likely they will go out looking specifically for that make/model/colour if they intend to clone it.
I'd imagine a trawl through a car park or on-road parking...
Ironically the older Hager units were fine, it's just their new fancy bluetooth one that seems to have issues. I suspect Savo would be the first to admit he might not be the posterchild for "influencers", but it does seem a massive marketing faux pas for them to not take the opportunity to...
Has it actually been cut down? I've got some "half" size pallets that came like that stuff was shipped on to me from the factory. Might have just been what they had laying around. I agree it's a stupid idea though, I'd have wanted a large footprint and put some extra bracing in.
I like the facom flex head ratchet spanners.
A lot depends on if you want flex or fixed, and/or reversible.
Pretty much all the good ratchet spanners have their mechanisms made in Taiwan by one of a couple of different manufacturers and just fitted into different forgings, the Chinese clone...
Unless it is a fairly supple boot like a stretch boot you might find you snap the plastic cable tie before you get it tight enough. Stretch boots are usually a lot softer and work a lot better with ties IME. However they are often not as durable.
The boot needs to stay in position on the shaft...
Main thing is if the boot is secured. Standard plastic cable ties typically don't get tight enough to do a proper job hence the metal banding clips or ball ties.
Is the LED designed to work on a vehicle, or from a constant 12v supply - as there is a big difference in how robust the power supply and supporting circuitry has to be.
Got to be honest, that looks like a right dogs dinner.
If he just needs a piece of unistrut for mounting the panels I would make up the A frame out of something else and just mount the unistrut to the top.
You could make a nicer support out of angle, and then just bolt the unistrut to the top...
That brings back memories! I used to service and rebuild a lot of SAFT cells for aircraft batteries. I must have pressure tested thousands of those bloody vent caps. :laughing:
Do you have any issues sourcing them as the last I heard they were trying to ban them?
The PCL XF (euro) fittings I have seem to be decent, if I was starting over I'd go all euro but have a bit of a mixture of stuff.
XF on the high power, standard PCL and "instantair" or what used to be known as broomwade.
My regulators are set up with XF females now, and a couple of Instantair...
Depends what style of fitting you want?
As mentioned PCL are good quality fittings and available cheaply from screwfix but only a limited subset of products.
You can often buy PCL stuff quite cheaply on eBay as long as it is from a UK supplier and actually listed as PCL you should get something...
Brundle is free delivery on orders over £150 ex VAT. Which I assume it would be.
Orders under £150 are a tenner.
Don't forget with the rapid metals quote you will have the additional expenditure for the bottle of astroglide. :laughing:
Yes they look the same thing, generic chinese units - pretty much all identical across resellers even the big ones.
Yes you can build one out of ply - i did mine that way because I didn't have access to a welder when i needed the cabinet
It works fine but you need something to stop the blast...
Two cables sounds like the outside socket is on a ring. Verify that first and if so what you could do is cut into one of the cables and use that to loop in and out of the supply side of your fused spur, then the load side can go to your heater.
However this will only work if there is sufficient...
I use whatever seems convenient or appropriate at the time. If it is precision usually metric, if it's something larger I'm less likely to forget a number for feet and inches.
Sometimes it's easier to measure out 16 inches instead of 406.5 mm and sometimes 600mm makes more sense than 23 5/8" ish.
Speaking as someone with a Victorian house with a fair amount of original cast ironmongery I can say the "traditional" approach appears to have been four billion layers of thick black leaded gloss paint.
Take from that what you will.
Wiha ones get a lot of good reviews, I've not used them much, likewise PB swiss make some excellent but quite expensive precision screwdrivers.
For bang for buck you can't go far wrong with Wera, they are slimmer but still give you good leverage and reasonably priced. Which is why they are...
I used to know the name, which now escapes me, as I went through a phase of trying to track one down but they were always sold or too expensive.
Not used one but they looked a very useful bit of kit for holding odd shapes.
