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

[Brad93]

And this is why I tend to buy metrology tools new. Point Mike Just been delivered.

Points misaligned. Obviously it's not at it's true zero because the barrel is not aligning with the zero mark. Someone appears to have attempted a repair.

Seller can have it back.

They’re a b’stard to fit.

Even more so if the cab won’t go over which I’m assuming hers won’t

I think she has a horsebox, so quite possibly fixed cab ?

 

[Barking Mat]

What kind of boat engine @8ob ?

Never seen one of them.

That’s what I was hoping wasn’t the answer.

On a tilt cab they are bad enough but there’s a certain knack to them. Involving a long ish extension. If you’ve a battery / air ratchet they’re tons easier

My horsebox starter is super accessible, thank god, but finding a starter motor is like finding rocking horse poo.

It's one like I've never seen before, just a cylinder, and runs in the reverse sense, as it's fitted heading towards the back of the vehicle. (TS3).

Like this one but a cylinder, yeah need to find a pro, I've had the old one apart twice, but never found the fault, eventually found a s/h one, which works.

Huge tv,what a minefield this was ,part way through deciding,we both gave up and settled for a donated tv ,anyway this 50” was stolen from our local independent whose father is a good customer,he even delivered it ,and spent an hour setting it up,‘‘tis huge and a major refinement from the previous model.problem is , that many channels and it’s the wrong time of year to be distracted .

I got a Leatherman Charge+ G10 orange as well as the blades to restore my old Charge Titanium back to its former glory.
I was only after the blades but got carried away and the rest is history, in other words don’t tell the wife.
