Today I acquired...........

[Hood]

These have just arrived.
I had previously bought similar F Clamps from Zoro and really liked them so was going to buy more but saw these on Rutlands at a much better price so decided to give them a try, feel just as good so far, so here's hoping. £40 plus £7 delivery for the 6

Last week my 0-25 Quantumike wouldn't switch on, tried another battery but still no go. Can't complain too much as I have had them quite a while and I only paid about £100 for them, maybe slightly less. I was going to send them in to Mitutoyo to see if a repair was economical but then saw the guy I got some from before had some again so bought one, arrived last week and it was £110.

New boots.
Soime portable fire.
Some history.
Maybe some beer?
One case of "What has the world come too?"
What is this?

New Boots..

Fire in a can.

1920's German Range finder for a 35mm camera.

Some beer?
Maybe?

Removed from sale in a Antique centre and given to me.

I will let you guess why.

Any one know what this clamp is for?

Well, not with them screaming as I tried.

This may take some time...!

Let us know how you get on with it. I thought it looked like a great project.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

This engine came why way today, as a parting gift and thank you to me.
Sad I may not see the shop for a while, but I did enjoy my time.

1946 SE1 Mamod Engine.

After a very wet trip out today, I returned home with this project, it should keep me out of trouble (possibly..) for a while, but definitely poor-ish....

3.0L V6?

I'd jack the engine up and slip a Capri underneath...

Will do, but it's going to be a slow burner!

Most Capri's, I've looked at/seen up for sale lately, could be swept under the engine, plus have nothing to bolt the engine too....

You're not kidding, my 83 Cabaret in the garage "sheds" rust without me even touching it!

The 83 S shell is in much better condition...I think. When I rescued it it had been hand painted black about to have a V12 put in.

 

[awemawson]

Something I have been associated with for quite awhile,but never thought the owner would part with…

@Johnnybravo If you rock up at my place in that A35 I'll think that they've resurrected the Mother In Law (God forbid) - she drove one for years

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Donnated to me today.

It does need some work.

I reckon it may yet be going to Mitutoyo but only after I enquire as to cost.

 

[Maker]

A poorly Haimer.



The dial appears to have sawdust inside, so much for IP67. The needles are stuck where they shouldn't be, and wiggling the smashed remains of the probe doesn't do anything.

Who thinks it's fixable?
